Phone line Question

[Aqib13]

Hello since the phone line from virgin is expensive all i want is just broadband, so basicly if i do this can i still get a different phone line from bt or something would my virgin still work?

Hi, you don't need to take a phone line with VM to be able to get BB. Although if you take BB you will usually get a discounted price if you take a landline or TV package as well.

Would it be possible if i cud make my virgin phone line incoming calls? would i get charged for that too? because normally my bill always comes expensive to around 150 or more due to phone line

You're paying for the VM phone line (rental) however you use it.
Since you can't easily switch call carriers (only those with an 0800/0808 access number, where the rates are not quite as good as the prefix ones), you need to match your VM call package to what you use.

If you drop the phone line from them, then you lose some discount, so you don't save the whole cost of the phone line:
BB:L without phone £21 / month
BB:L with phone £13.50 a month, plus £13.90 a month = £27.40 - inc. free weekend landline & VM mobile calls

So dropping phone saves you just £6.40

you can get 200, 400 and 800 min call plans

one flat fee for 800 minutes to whatever line - mobile/abroad etc.

If you just take broadband you can use a voip service over the broadband. Check out vonage or voipfone for starters.
