  • OP stated that she now gets 'free' phone calls. Maybe on her 3 for £30 package, this wasn't included, so she had phone calls on top of the £30. The extra 95p thus proves a saving maybe :confused: .


    ihate0871numbers I'm liking your deal.

    We've just managed to get the following for £40:

    Tv XL, Broadband M, Telephone M, V+ box and 2nd set top box. I guess really what your getting is pretty much = to myself, i just have the additional box and lower telephone. Think i could get it any lower??

    Just pay for basic broadband, and get a DSL VOIP router for the phone and go with someone like Sipgate that will give you a local number, excellent call rates, and no monthly charge.
    Then with TV either just go freeview or their virgins basic package with the broadband.
    A lot of people tend do this way round as it also ceases the need to pay BT the landline charge, but then again it requires some technical knowledge to set.
