Ok im on the virgin media mobile phone service, im not aware of the 300 texts and calls being reduced. Does this mean my next renewal will only give me 100 texts and minutes? If so im going back to o2 £10 a month top-up works out you get more

They may keep the 300 mins and texts for existing users. If not then ask retentions and if they say no, then leave. But its worth asking during your last month.

Ok, thanks. Fingers crossed.

However, when applying for a job or obtaining credit, they prefer landline telephone numbers so becareful. You can get a telephone line at no extra cost when you subscribe to the TV service with free weekend calls.Tips on dealing with sales calls:Register your landline number and your mobile number with the TPS(Telephone preference service) which is a free service which lasts for 5 years and de-lists your numbers from tele-marketing lists making it illegal for sales and marketing firms to advertise products and services.www.tps-online.org.uk or via the automated service on freephone number: 0800-398-893Alternatively, get the phone line and just take advantage of the free weekend calls and add incomming call baring which you can remove at anytime and switch back on at anytime. Or if you have broadband connection, just sign up to Vonage which offers unlimited calls for £7.99 plus free equipment and you get to choose your telephone number and the choice of STD area code for example if you live in Birmingham but want a Tamworth-01827 number, you can have it!

sign up to sipgate if you just want a landline number which you'll never use as there is no monthly charge.

The call centres are UK based mainly, I believe they also have one in Johannesburg but it's very rare that you wouldn't get through to the UK centres, well, I've always got through to the UK ones anyway..
