Virgin media Talk mobile frustration - any views?

doccer1967

I have VM and I pay monthly an extra 1.75 for the mobile option. Supposidly this is a discount off calls to mobiles. I have been on their web site, talked to them but NOBODY seems able to prove a discount, nor confirm the ammount. they keep using language like "up to 33%":mad:

For the international service they CLEARLY show the cost of calls for both discounted and non discounted calls - this appears not to be the case for mobiles

the question here is how can i satisfy myself the dscount is being applied - i have zero trust in VM billing system.

The price you pay if you have the Talk Mobile bolt on is clearly shown on there site.

See: http://shop.virginmedia.com/phone/talk-mobile.html

The price you pay if you dont have the bolt on can be found here http://shop.virginmedia.com/content/dam/allyours/pdf/005065-Residentia-%20Phonebook-National-1st-February-v1.pdf


Using http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php via there 0808 freephone number can work out cheaper depending on mobile number called, time of day,day of the week.

For many years from my cable line I used Telesave to call mobiles, the cost is 9.5p/min at all times, charged by the second with no connection fee and a minimum call charge of 4p. I still use them no for any non-inclusive calls I need to make. You just call 0800 0662266 before the call. You can join instantly by calling 0800 066 4000. A £10 top up required - it's a prepay account (they might even be worth using for other calls, too, depends on your plan).

Hope this helps.
