if thats true in off out to cut the line down.
Err no you leave that line alone, it's not yours to cut down and will cost you a lot of years of 50p a month to repair what is basically vandalism of BT's property.

To answer your question, no, if it's not in use you won't get charged for it. The charge goes to BT, not a person, and if you aren't using the circuit they aren't going to have a liability for it to pass on to you.
