Connection charges and premium numbers
 

Can anyone clarify Virgin's charges re. 0845 etc. numbers? Do they charge a connection charge as well as a high charge per minute?
I use "Say no to 0870" when I can but it doesn't have all the numbers I search for.( I'm on the package which has free UK geographical numbers at all times and I believe there's no connection charge for those calls.)
I looked on virgin Media site but can't find an answer.
Thanks.
:dunce:

A call connection charge of 11.99p per call applies unless otherwise stated

So yes both a connection fee and per minute charge apply

Thanks Ben, but I can't make head or tail of those charts.
Why can't VM make life simple?

This seems clear to me? (from Page 2)

A thirty second 0845 call in the evening will cost you 22p (or in the day will cost you 23p) from 1st October is what seems clear to me.

Or you could go back to Phone M and try this - http://www.firsttelecom.com/other-products/cable-saver.

There isn't one. It's just much much cheaper! :)

I've checked and some of the calls (evenings/weekends) are actually more than my package while the rest are a lot cheaper. Once you've got the box hooked up can you choose whether to use it or not per call?
