Changing telephone number to a number already in use at the property

[badger123456]

We want to drop our current landline number as we dont use it, and use our second line telephone number for our tv and broadband package.  We are on a rolling broadband package.  Sky has said we need to cancel our current broadband and then wait a further 31 days before taking out a new contract.  We will lose our existing email addresses.  Why would we have to wait 31 days to take out a new contract and how can we keep our current email addresses with the new contract?

Is the email address a Sky one, if so you would not lose it if you are logging in online to it on a regular basis so I'm not sure why that would say this is the case.

All broadband packages come with a Talk package so you can't have one without the other. If you don't lose your current phone line then you could ask Sky to change your package to a pay as you talk one so this should save you some money agaist a calls package that you might have on your account.
