Virgin Media & Orchid dialler

Fairwinds · 2008-12-22 17:33:40

I have recently moved my phone from BT to Virgin. I have an Orchid dialler which I used with BT ( 1899, 18855 etc) My question is, is the orchid dialler redundant now I am with Virgin or can it still be used in someway? At the moment it is unplugged. Many thanks

So use 18185 for all calls that aren't free, using the 0808 number.

I just need to try and remember how to program the dialer as I've been using the heinz program for a while

The manual system might be easier for you. PM me an email address and I'll send you my latest Excel spreadsheet explaining how that's done.

Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
