Applying for a Telephone line
No Telephone Line and living in Tavira
Hi everyone
Can someone put me straight, do you already need a telephone line to apply for Clix telephone service as website quite confusing and as my Portugese is not very good at the moment.
In a another message on the subject Trevortronix mentioned he has a Clix telephone line, maybe he could answer or comment on how to have a new line installed by Clix, as no line at the property so would need to be a completely new install.
Or do I need Sapo to install line first like BT in Uk and then change to a cheaper service like Clix.
If someone can either point me to messages on the subject or explain to me how to install a telephone line preferably with Clix it would be helpful in getting a telephone service to the property.
All help greatly received
regards league

Dont know about clix,someone will help with that.
What I can tell you is that if you get PT to install the phone,it will be on a minimum one year contract,so you wouldnt really be able to change provider.

Re: Applying for a Telephone line
We signed up for CLIX in our new house, it took about a month for them to get P.T out to install the line(they do it on behalf of CLIX)
As it turned out there was a f#ck up with the instalation(fault of the builder,wrong system on project of house.....long story
) so we are still waiting(and waiting) on it being resolved.....

In my opinion the safest thing to do is to get Portugal Telecom to install the line (their web site is also in English
). After that you can negotiate a contract with your chosen provider.
Boa sorte meu amigo!..

If we eventually get CLIX we will save a fortune considering you have net and free calls for 40 euros a month..........

Re: Applying for a Telephone line
you may have a point as I have I heard a few complaints about how long people have waited but in our case if our builder had no made a boob of things then we would have had it within a month.

Re: Applying for a Telephone line
Hi again
I have just spoken to World com as they speak english, and they tell me as you all rightly say PT Telecom will have to install the line, but they tell me to only ask for line only which does not have a 12 month contract after line has been installed you can change to provider of choice.
Anyone had this option, as trying to understand the PT website not easy.
I could not find any reference to UK version of site as mentioned by prodigal son any link to it would help.
Can you register and order line on website, or do you have to be in Portugal?
regards league
thanks for all the replies

Re: Applying for a Telephone line
Yes....well fairly local. Was more the electrician to blame than the builder to be fair and we really can't complain about the builder(who is also a friend
).....the whole project was hassle free thanks to his massive input with all the paper work/red tape etc Was a 192m2 "ultra modern" house we had built in the countryside.

But try to find out the cost without and with contract (sometimes it is better to make 2 separate calls, requesting the info). To register you probably need an address in Portugal. But there are local shops that will be able to assist you!

Re: Applying for a Telephone line
Thought I would sneek this one into this thread! I don't suppose anyone by some freek of nature would know if there are any "deals" (like in the UK) for phoning New Zealand. I have one at present with BT where it is rediculously cheap at 2p a min. The other option I suppose would be an international phone card.
