Are Virgin phone sockets the same as BT ones

Hi,
I'm still busy comparing Virgin and BT packages for phone and broadband, and I suddenly wondered if my existing phone that I use with BT will work with the Virgin sockets.

I assume it would, but thought I'd better check.

Could anybody please confirm?

    They use the same type of socket. However they will provide you with one of their master sockets which will not be connected to your BT ones.
    O and yes your existing phone will work fine.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Yes, your existing phone will work.
    It won't be the _same_ socket - Virgin will fit their own one - but it will be the same type.

    Unless you are connecting to the Virgin National service, which uses BT's infrastructure.
