Just a quick update about my VM.
My 18 month contract finishes around 3rd August so I got the boot in first and rang retentions, fortunately UK based.
I was paying a discounted £99 which was due to go up to £141.

The outcome of our chat was I am going to lose Sky Cinema (very rarely used), my SS is going to be known as the SS Collection and I have gone for UHD at £7pm which can be cancelled anytime. Internet is 350 and our landline 'Talk More Anytime' is being renamed 'Anytime Chatter'.

It seems I can ring mobiles from the landline and not be charged, is this correct?
Also I will have to pay 24ppm to use 084 087 etc etc

For the next 18 months my monthly fee is £98, but I think come April ++

So you have no O2 Sim?
I'm on the Ultimate Volt bundle with Netflix UHD addon, Extra box & UHD Sky sports for £100 to Virgin & £25 to O2

O2 is terrible and will dump as soon as I can but its going to be hard to get a good price for the Virgin stuff

EE is the best here but it got too expensive for so little data and the EE roaming costs, I will switch mine and my wife's to Smarty when contracts are up, any company that doesn't do inflation rises gets my business, I changed all of our work phones to smarty and its just great value even getting a 10% off if you make a group account

VM being investigated re contract cancellation

About time. The general advice to send a recorded delivery letter is crazy in this day and age. If you can agree a contract over the phone you should be able to cancel it over the phone.

They should look at their 18 month non cancellation rpi + 3.9% increase next. Nobody knows what they'll be paying in future under those terms.
