So Virgin Media launched new phone packages back in the summer - basically the same as the old ones but with calls to mobiles included in your free call allowance. So, if you get free evening and weekend calls at present you can now get free mobile calls that that time.
The packages are called "talk more" and you can just call them to switch at no cost.
Pretty useful considering the constant way above-inflation price rises we keep seeing.
Apparently the free calls to mobile excludes calls to Lyca mobile.

That's £5 more than the base package of talk weekends. If your'e already on talk eveing nnd weekends then you get the new talkmore version for free if you call.

Virgins new plans/pricing are weird.
We called them to cancel our tv boxes and keep the broadband and phone, since we're sick of the slow TiVo boxes and are going to sky. They wanted £300 early termination fees, but said they had a bundle with 200mb broadband, evening calls and a "play" TV box which they could do for £23 a month, and told us to stick the box in a drawer somewhere.
No logic whatsoever as there's a box out there not being used which they could be making money off, but £23 a month for 200mb bb and a phone line (and a basic TV service we won't use) ain't half bad!

I can't see anywhere on this site how you would get this package? The best I can see is £29 a month for 50mb Broadband, Talk weekends and TV?
I am currently on Phone and Broadband Only with a 70Mb connection but would happily get the TV if it meant paying less! :wink:
Any help appreciated :smiley:

bma1445 - what's the 'Play' box your talking about? I'm in the same boat as you, can't stand how unresponsive the Tivo is and never use it for that reason, so was considering cancelling my subscription. Didn't know about the Play box, or that there were any alternatives to be honest.

yup, same here, shelling out around £60 a month for Tv/internet/phone. Called them to cancel the tv part, she said I would be paying MORE for keeping just phone & broadband. No sense to any of that.
Would like to know about this alternative box please.
I hate to be a cynic, but I just can't see virgin offering 200mb broadband, phone and any TV bundle for £23 to a new customer, let alone someone mid contract.
