Do BT keep a record of where the master socket is located?

I know you're not meant to move them, so I was just wondering if they kept records?

Also, how likely are the engineers to give a hoot/report that it's been moved?

My friend has a BT engineer coming tomorrow and his master got moved to a different room when decorating (It's the adjacent room, so no extra cabling was needed).

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Don't worry! I'm an openreach (BT) engineer and can assure you BT do not keep records of where a master socket is located. Even if the engineer suspects it has been moved, he won't be bothered at all - I know I wouldn't be

Thanks very much Dave. Just out of interest, does anybody ever pay BT the £150 or whatever it is to get their master moved?

I occasionally get jobs to move the master socket, but usually it's because they are having building work done so a complete rewire is needed. What I find more surprising though is the number of people who will pay a small fortune for us to fit numerous extensions in nearly every room in the house. I think people forget you can now get digital cordless phones for next to nothing
