I have been trying to get a phone line put into my static caravan on a large site but BT are wanting £1100 to put one in. There was a BT armoured cable sticking out of the ground near my caravan, so I asked the site if I could dig it in and connect it to my pitch. They said yes as long as I put it down at least a foot and made the ground good again, which I did. I connected the internal wiring and had a dial tone.

I then rang BT who said they would have to send out a surveyor. He came and plugged into my phone point and took the number which used to be allocated to it and said he would get back to me. About an hour later he rang back and told me the line belonged to a caravan pitch next to mine and I would have to take it out immediately. There is no caravan on the other pitch and very few people on here even want a phone line. He said that it could be changed physically to become my phone line but they wouldn`t do it. Is there anything I can do?
