Still paying Bt £11.25 for line rental monthly, jeees this is complicated to work out, I still think I should try for a discount off Unlimited calls (£11) as I make most calls during the day....such a hassle though ..not a bad deal all the same, what do you reckin??

    Can someone help please?
    I have Virgin with 2 lines and want to drop the second line.
    Have 2 lines as one is for phone and one for dial up computer link. I can't get broadband on this old computer.

    Do I have to contact Virgin to drop the 2nd line? And how do I get the computer line linked to the phone line so I only pay one charge.
    Would appreciate some help.

    Paying Line rental.. £11.00
    Additional line. £11.00.
    Talk evenening and weekends £3.45 (What is this???)
    TV size L...... £11.50
    paper bill charge... £1.25 ( Total £38.20)

    Plus any phone calls...

    Any help please??
  • Hi, Just like to let people know I blagged a free V+box, I phoned up last week saying I was thinking of joining Virgin and the woman wouldn't budge on offering any discounts so I then applied on line but right at the last moment i closed it down. A few days later I get a phone call from Virgin asking why I didn't go through with the order, I said it was to much to pay for the box so he said i could have it for free!!

    I'm now on M+, M phone, L broadband for £35 a month but saved £75 and another £30 (refer a friend)

    Happy Days

    Couldn't of done it with out this site, so thanks

  • Hi, we have just moved house and now would like broadband, phone & TV sorting, we had the V+ box in our old house and were very pleased with it.

    Does anyone have any tips or ideas of what I can ask for in this house to get the best price? it says they are wanting £75 for the V+ box, i'm sure it was free when I got it.

    Any help will be appreciated x
