You could reduce your phone down to size M. Unless your tied to a 12 month contract then they might not let you until the 12 months is up

For a new customer (excluding the free months and any cashback deals) the price for that is £25.95 + £11.99 for the phone so unless you want to alter the package I doubt you'll get a reduction.

I'm movng to VM BB + phone but I don't intend to use the phone for anything other than an 0808 call bypass number because their prices are a rip off. I don't currently spend more than a couple of quid a month on the bypass service and any BT call charges combined.

I am not impressed with Virgin Media - I am currently getting XL TV, broadband, Sky Sports and calls unlimited which comes to £70 (£5 because I wont pay by dd), but then our calls on top of that bring it up to near £80 a month.
I phoned up today to ask to be given a lower package as we dont XL tv, but they wouldnt entertain us - saying the lower we go price wise - the more the sports package costs!
I definately feel they are stinging us to be honest.

That's typical of Virgin's pricing of Sky Sports & Sky Movies packs...

Have you considered going with Sky? If you've got digital TV for Sky Sports it works out cheaper to go with Sky.

Why wont you pay by DD and paperless bills, that would save you about £6.50 a month?

I must admit I havent had any problems with VM. I been with them for nearly 4 years now, (Well it was telewest at first). My prices went up a while ago so I rang them up to say I want to leave, they asked why and I told them I was going to sky because they had a better deal, which they did at the time. They brought my price down in about 2 minutes. It has gone up again since then but all their prices have gone up in April
