France Telecom contract period

[mogs]

We're presently living in temporary accommodation but hope to be moving into our own permanent house by the end of the year

If we sign up with France Telecom purely for a landline, do we have to have a minimum contract of 1 year?

Or in the instance of moving are they understanding and don't hold you to the contract

Our own house is just on the other side of the border so the two numbers would be different I think.

I believe the minimum contract period with FT is 6 months.

From the Orange/FT site

Quelle est la durée de votre engagement ?

Le contrat est conclu

pour une durée indéterminée à compter de la date de mise en service de

la ligne, c'est-à-dire le jour où l'installation permet l'établissement

de communications téléphoniques sur le réseau. Vous pourrez résilier

votre contrat de plein droit, en respectant un délai de préavis de 7

jours. France Télécom peut être amenée à suspendre tout ou partie de ses

prestations en cas de non paiement d'une facture (articles 11.2 et

11.3).

No minimum period.

You can cancel at any time with a notice of 7 days.

PS the standard charge for the taking over or opening up a new line is 55 euros. Certain conditions apply to new line installations.

Many thanks to both of you.

Now its just a question of seeing if they do "unlimited" calls at a low cost.

[quote user="mogs"] if they do "unlimited" calls[/quote] yes

[quote user="mogs"]at a low cost [/quote] that depends on how much you call
