Cable and Wireless Worldwide offer a mobile service to its customers as well as Thus customers as a virtual network but in very large buildings such as Tesco, they have installed masts suitable for indoor use. It means that Cable and Wireless Worldwide customers as well as its own staff are no longer tied to one desk and one phone. The mobile numbers are allocated to Cable and Wireless Worldwide meaning that customers or staff diverting calls from there office landline phones or calling Cable and Wireless Mobiles do not incur extra termination fees as it is in-house.

Now i've often wondered why Virgin Media doesn't use its own allocated numbers, the cost of calling Virgin Mobiles from a Virgin Media landline costs the company up to about 4p per minute which is charged by Everything Everywhere.

Now what I think Virgin Media should do:

1 phone for all use (Similar to BT Fusion)
Geographical numbers for Virgin Media customers 01/02
And whilst indoors route most calls via Voip over a Virgin Broadband connection

It would be an end to bad network coverage indoors
Cheap calls to all destinations including international when run via Voip
Use of geographical numbers would be an end to having seperate numbers
Use of geographical numbers, cheaper for people to call you

And spell the end of Virgin Media's expensive home phone service!
