£125 automatic cashback on Virgin broadband and phone line packages
Comments
-
I use 1899 override on BT and they provide an 0808 number which is supposedly freephone on VM phones as well as BT (their system picks up your phone number which you have to pre-register with your account with them). I certainly hope it is as I've just signed up on this offer. I imagine the 18185 or whatever it is which MSE recommend is the same.Wow.......that's a real rip-off! I was considering a Virgin package but that that has scuppered it! We frequently dial relatives (not all would get on Skype) overseas via overrides on BT and get 'hours' of chat for just a few pence. This well hidden charging structure would cost us a fortune.
On taking up the deal
I was very impressed with the cashback sites procedures which were very thorough with everything explained and all my questions answered. It took just over 20 minutes so make sure you don't do it if you are in a rush.
You'll need...
A credit or debit card to pay the installation fee
Your bank details for setting up the DD
Your BT account number as well as the phone number (probably because I wanted to keep my BT number)0 -

They provide a 0808(freephone) number for access so virgin charge nothing for calling it the only fees are to 18185 which are very reasonable even for cable users
Can anyone verify this as it seems to contradict what the previous poster said? If I can use the over-ride number without Virgin charging I could well be moving to what seems a very good package0
