Couldn't get any sense out of the offshore call centre, but kept trying and have just come off the phone to someone in the UK.

He said that I get a good discount for taking all three services, which I would lose if I dropped to two services. The net result being that it would work out more expensive to drop the landline!

I suppose it's useful in case of an emergency and mobile is down, plus 0870 calls are free at the weekends (which are chargeable on my mobile).

The VM website mentions 0870 minutes, I presume that this means that there is a cap on how many minutes you can use when calling 0870 numbers. Anyone know what this cap is?
