Virgin Media Phone Expensive and Uncompetitive
Hi i was looking at virgin TV only the sales guy was very pushy and detirmined for me to take the phone service which i dont want
looking at the costs it seams very expensive eg
Virgin line rental £11.99 April 1st £12.99
calls pm 6.5p April 7.5pm
no Evning calls or £3.45
no free 0845 0870 10p pm
conection per call 10p April 11pm
caller disply £2.00
I get
line rentall £11.49
free evning weekends calls
calls day 4.6p
free 0845 0870 calls which save me a fortune
free privacy caller display
i phoned my phone company and complained about my phone if they could save me money they gave me free calls any time day evning weekends for 6 months when they normally charge £4.00 extra per month so im very happy
