Cheapest Override Provider for Virgin Media

Hi All,

My Mother in Law is constantly recieving high monthly bills from Virgin Media. My Wife has reduced her package so she now only has to pay £11 per month for basic TV and Telephone Line Rental. Is this the best we can do for this ?

We would now like to attack the calls, so that call are routed through another provider. She usually makes quite a few local and national calls and some calls back to Ireland and a few to Austrailia.

Can anyone please suggest some override providers we can use with Virgin Media that will reduce these costs ? I apologise if this question has already been asked in the forum, but I cannot find an answer.

Many Thanks for all your help ! =)

Richard

    We are with Virgin and use a code from the 18185 website. Very easy to set up and use.

    I am still a new user to this forum so can't post a link but it is easy found if you look it up on internet.

    Hope this helps.

    We only have a virgin line which we use for phone and broadband, we don't have the tv package. We just registered with 18185 and then you dial a code before the number you want to dial and that's it. I think normal landline calls are 1p per min and ones to abroad are really cheap to, I think it is 2p per min for Australia.
