what are the times for free evening and weekend calls on a virgin L phone?

Options
I have the L pack for the virgin home phone, I can't seem to find the times for the free evening and weekend calls, is it after 6pm in the evening and free all weekend, also is it just virgin to virgin?
thanks

    phew thanks, my son has been on to his friend most of the afternoon, just one more question, do you have to hang up after 59 mins and then redial, I know my friend does on her talk talk phone?

    BT have changed the weekdays 'evening' period start/end time to 7pm/7am w.e.f. 1-4-2010, so don't hold you breath on VM not following suit.
    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.

    The calls are not free you pay for the E&W call bundle.

    oh !!!!, my son was on for like 6 hours yesterday! kept redialling every 50 mins, what is there to gain from having M or L if there's no free calls? didn't know I had to buy the extra.

    Don't worry if you have the L package you have E&W calls included so you will be fine as far as your son's calls yesterday.

    What Ypaymore meant is that the L package is about £3.45pm more than the M package so you are paying for your calls package, thus they are not "free" calls , they are inclusive calls.

    I'm not saying he would, and of course l don't want to confuse matters, but should you son continue at that level of calls on a daily basis you may need to look into Virgins fair use policy.
