Want a bt phone line,so i can take advantage of the orange deal that should give me free broadband,but were on cable(virgin),must be a way to do it for not a lot.

As far as I know, the only way to get a BT line is via a drop wire from the pole or such. £150 last time I asked.

Do you already have a BT line in the property?

If so, you can get connected for £30 if you sign up for an 18 month contract (BT won't tell you that, but it's in their T&C's).
If you don't have an existing BT line, then it's going to cost you £150 to get connected regardless of whether you go for 12 months or 18 months.

Think there's an old bt line,from the pole out the front,does that count.

Is there a BT socket anywhere in the house?
Is there a BT drop cable waiting by the front door (or wherever) your Virgin phone line comes in?

If it from the pole to your house you should be OK. BT are desperate for your custom so don't let them bullshit you. I got a line put in for my mum last year for nowt.
