Under TW/NTL the phone was supposed to be more expensive than BT for calls. I don't know if that is still the case under VM. This is something you may want to look in to.

My experience of the phone isn't very good. I get numerous calls for the previous owners of the number from finance companies and sales companies and even the school!. I never had this problem with BT when I got a number for the first time.

IMO the BB is much better than ADSL.

In case you missed it, Sky One isn't on the TV package anymore either.

I'm on that package but my phone bill is always an extra £15 ish on top.
Don't know why as I use my mobile most of the time as it has free minutes.
Children don't use it either as they have free minutes on their mobiles.

I'm looking into going back to free calls anytime (used to be £25) and getting 2 for £20 on top. It will cost the same as now but I will use the phone loads more during the day.;)

Registering with and using 18185 via their Freephone 0808 access number will reduce the cost of your Virgin Media chargeable calls.

See: http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php

You want pay Virgin a 6p connection charge, just 18185 4p , and your get 18185 much better call rates.

I have 3 for £30 and usually we only go over by about £4 as we use our mobile inclusive minutes for most calls. BB is relable, TV is fine even without SKY

I was on the 3 for £35 deal - as a long term customer incredibly peed off with losing Sky One I had Sky installed Saturday and then rang BT to switch from Virgin to them and then spent 59 minutes on hold to speak to VM to cancel all my services.

However, Virgin are quite desperate to keep customers and they offered me a much better deal rather than lose my custom altogether - £19.95 gives me broadband and telephone but with free daily, evening and weekend NATIONAL calls and a discount on International and mobile calls and they let me keep the TV for free and are installing it next week in my bedroom free of charge.

So I am staying with VM and tv (M) phone and 2mb broadband and the free calls cost just £19.95 so even with my £15 a month Sky subscription I am quids in as I am saving approx £10 a month on calls (dont use the phone a lot).

So ring 150 tell them you want to leave and renegotiate your deal - my sister, her best friend and my parents have all done the same!

They dont want to lose you so give it a try!!!!!
