I have signed up for Virgin Talk Bundle 2 starting 9 January 2007.
I note from the Virgin FAQ's and e mails that there is a connection fee of 6p for 0845 and 0870 numbers dialled direct.
I phoned virgin to ask about if there was a 6p connection charge if I used the 1280 BT override to make phone calls during the day when BT is cheaper than Virgin Talk and they said no connection fees would apply.
I then asked if 0800 calls were free and the Virgin operator thought that I should use 1280 then dial the 0800 number and ther would be no 6p connection fee charged by Virgin.
Can I use 1280 then the 0800, 0845 or 0870 numbers to avoid a 6p connection fee ?
Virgin Talk FAQ's don't seem to cover these points very clearly.

Can any forum members confirm that ther are no connection fees involved for using 1280 for all calls including 0800, 0845 and 0870.

The one the OP mentions is on THIS thread started by me,(bundle 3, top r/h side), and is £9.99 per month for broadband & free calls at w/e and eve, with up to 1Mbds, and 3 GB download, the bundle you mention is available but that is not the one started on this thread
