    From 4-1-2011, Virgin will charge 12.42p connection + 4.08p/minute to call what they classify as PG22 rate numbers.

    Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.
