Robbo...
I get about 10 calls a week (when I am in so god knows how many I dont answer) trying to sell me something or carrying out surveys...
I just hang up as I try to have as little a need to contact BT as possible...

It's free to change a residential number.
Are you sure you aren't getting confused with the price of having a brand new line installed (i.e. there was never a BT line at your address)? Because that is about £117.50 IIRC.

If you are receiving unsolicited telephone calls, you need to register with the TPS (Telephone Preference Service) - this is free to do:

Be careful changing your number as it can mean any broadband on your line is ceased too (as I unfortunately found out)...

As far as I know you have to pay to change your number unless its because of nuisence calls for which you need a crime reference number first
