Hi,
I'm sure there must be a more efficient/cheaper way to organise my mobile/broadband affairs as currently bills spread over several providers. Would really welcome any suggestions...
Currently have home phone line and broadband with virgin @ 25.98pcm (hate virgin..I keen negotiating price down then they somehow manage to creep it up again. Only need it for broadband as house phone never used and no virgin TV)
iphone on Vodafone @£10.50 pcm (mainly text, rarely calls/internet)
ipad sim on 3 @ £10.99 pcm (used a lot for for everything)
For one person £47.47 a month seems an awful lot...or am I being unrealistic?
Thanks

Assuming VM cable not Virgin National (ADSL), you have no other options without the provision of a BT-based landline. There are no alternative cable providers.
Prices for an ADSL service will depend on the LLU options at your exchange-do a samknows exchange search to check.
Unless you need to use the iPad when out of the property, why do you need a data SIM contract as well as home broadband?No free lunch, and no free laptop

Hi Macman,
Thanks for your post, I am on an ADSL as listed building wont allow cable sadly. I use my ipad a lot out and about at work so need data sim. I think I was hoping that there might be a provder who would do broadband plus two sims under one cheap arrangement, but possibly not. Thanks anyway.0 -
So you are free to switch to another ADSL provider-VM telephony is among the most expensive around.
Bundling isn't always the cheapest option, since mobile and landline telcoms are essentially different businesses.No free lunch, and no free laptop
