I'm searching and searching the Virgin website trying to find out how much they are charging me for phone calls and suspiciously no matter how I word the search it feels like the site does not like the question :mad:

could anyone give me a link or tell me how much a local call is, in the evening and day time, weekend calls and connection charges, charges per minute etc. Stuff like that - how hard can it be for Virgin to fess up? I have a feeling the prices will be shocking judging by the way the website avoids clearly listing the real cost in pounds and pence

I'm on a basic package with them

    'Local' calls ceased to exist decades ago now, distance and exchange have no bearing on call costs.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Just took me 30 seconds to find out, using the link you supplied and clicking on 'view costs from June 2014'. Unless I'm missing something it seems clear enough :huh:

    Page 4 of the PDF gives call cost for 01,02 and 03 numbers.

    i didnt spend half an hour looking through the link i posted i spent half an hour searching online for call prices, virgin landline call charges have never been straight forward to search for, usually it has been a pdf download for numbers which have a code next to them then another pdf download to decipher the codes.

    thanks everyone

    I knew it was either me being thick or the reason it's such a run around is because Virgin don't want you to know their prices are unaffordable

    no big suprise it's the latter
