"Virgin Media pioneers free landline to mobile calls Groundbreaking offer to save families hundreds each year on mobile calls
Launching on 1st April, Virgin Media will become the first phone provider in the UK to offer new and existing customers free home phone to mobile calls. In a pioneering move designed to give its customers even better value, over four million Virgin Phone customers will be able to call Virgin Mobile customers without charge, demonstrating unbeatable value and giving families and frequent callers a chance to save hundreds on call charges to mobiles each year.
The new initiative, which comes as part of a variety of unlimited calls packages on all Virgin Phone tariffs, is designed to give customers a worry-free way of keeping families connected, and friends in touch with loved ones. With over £1.6 billion spent on calls each year from fixed line to mobiles in the UK, this groundbreaking offer will give Virgin Media home phone customers an unbeatable way to save with unlimited calls to Virgin mobiles, added to the unlimited voice calls to UK landlines already included in their packages."

    Their are also price increases someone has to pay for it.
    See: http://www.virginmedia.com/myvirginmedia/price-changes.php

    Its worth noting that to get inclusive calls to Virgin Mobiles the number most be active.

    " To be "active", the Virgin Mobile number called must have originated a chargeable outbound event (call, sms , data session) within the previous 90 days."
