Re: Buy V+ box, get charged for V box too!

This perhaps highlights why customers get fed up with VM (and other organisations) where Customer Services do not know their own pricing policies, and as a customer you can learn more about what you should be being charged on discussion boards - you would think this would be quite straightforward, but after 4 pages apparently not.

This was of especial interest, since last month I had them swap one of our two V boxes for a V+ box & the figures given over the phone suggested we wouldn't have to pay that much more.

Anyway, relevant figures for comparison..

Code:
 
Old Bill
 
V box                  no charge
Additional V box      £15
Total                  £15
 
New Bill
 
V+ Box                                £10
Additional V box                      £15
Additional set top box discount       -£10
Total                                     £15
- did they charge an installation fee for your V+ box 'girl friday'??
If you pay £75 up front installation fee for V+, then I understand that you don't pay the £10 per month V+ fee (though you would pay £5 per month if you are not on XL TV). Interestingly, according to information further up the thread if you had V Box plus a second V box, the second should be £9.50, therefore £9.50 in total and you appear to have been overcharged even before this change ... as indeed is girl friday (still!)
