Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

I don't remember anything coming through the post.

Whenever I ring Retentions I have in front of me on the computer the current package prices to compare with the deal they are proposing.

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

hmm.. it might be worth asking. you're most probably on a new contract when agreeing new terms though.

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

All these discounted deals with Retentions come with at least a 12 month contract. Should have received a letter in the post which would mention this anyway, be it a clause buried somewhere saying by agreeing to new terms (i.e. package) a minimum term of 12 months applies, as thenry states.

I recently changed to a similar package (L TV for me) with a discount for 18 months but a minimum contract period of 12 months.

Always renegotiate. I got Phone M, TV XL with TiVo, and 152Mb for £55.99 for 6 months, then £60.99 regular price.

Any updates SnoopZ?

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

No not yet, i can't do anything for a good few weeks, but i will when the time is right as i want my bill down to around £30ish from £77 and i will do this by cancelling TV and reducing broadband down to 50mbit(soon to be 100mbit in free upgrade).

What is the point of keeping Telly if it bumps the price up, i said i was probably going to phone retentions anyway as it starts a new contract.

Edit
You deleted the post i quoted.

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

sorry i was looking at the deals. heres a break down on offer..

uswitch deal...
£4.00 x 8 = £32
£17.50 x 4 = £70
£16.99 x 12 = £203.88
50meg + m landline 12 months = £305.88

Promo code - £50 = £255.88

Add line rental saver for £164. - £39.88 = £216

option.. you can do the uswitch deal online then add line rental saver via 150.


VM site deal...
£5 x 12 = 60
17.50 x 6 = 105
16.99 x 18 = 305.82
50meg + m landline 18 months = £470.82

Add line rental saver for £164. - £39.88 = 430.94

promo code - £50 = £380.94

considering the uswitch deal above and retentions being able to offer better theres little point ordering via the web.

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

Thanks will look into it in a few weeks or so when life lets me, and remember i can't order from the web being an existing customer it tells me to phone.

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

again sorry ive never used the tool, i just saw the existing customer option. the uswitch deal ends in a day. if your issues are that you are out and not home to make the 150 call from your VM landline then call

0800 0643 840

option 4 (accounts) > option 2 (home services) > option 1 (tv,broadband,homephone) > option 2 (number you're calling from is different to your VM account) > enter VM landline number including area code > 4 (make changes or moving) > option 2(remove services)/option 5 (thinking of leaving)

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

Strangely i think i had a call earlier from Virginmedia retentions on my mobile, the number was 0800 052 2160, i missed the call, can anyone confirm if that is the retentions number and i wonder how they knew i was thinking of changing my package, possibly because i clicked it on the website?

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

It's a VM outbound number. Call using the number I gave above.

Re: Reducing my VM package, pricing options?
 

Well yes i cant call using the other 1, i will call when life is ready. :)
