Thousands of BT customers face a price rise on their landline rental from March 31, 2026. The telecoms giant is increasing the monthly cost by £1, or £12 annually, for landline-only customers.
The Standard Line Rental will rise from £12.09 to £13.09 per month, while Line Rental Plus will increase from £14.09 to £15.09 per month. BT has notified all affected customers of the change.
A BT spokesperson said: “From 31st March 2026, landline only customers who do not have broadband with BT or another provider, will see their monthly price of their line rental increase by £1. We have contacted all landline only customers to notify them of this change.”
The increase comes as a five-year voluntary agreement between BT and regulator Ofcom, which extended price protections for voice-only landline customers until March 2026, is set to expire.
BT added that there will be no increase in call plan charges for 12 months after March 31, 2026. The company stated it remains committed to keeping customers connected with reliable landline services.
