Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Virgin has introduced a Line Rental Saver option for £120 a year. This will save you £46.80 on yearly line rental costs.

The deal is open to new & existing cable telephone customers. It's not clear if you can make these savings on L or XL talk plans.

Quite a saving

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Well my money 'aint making any interest worth talking about stuck in the bank so making a saving of nearly £50 a year is an attractive proposition. Thanks for the link norogd. :tu:

It does tie you in for a year as there is no refund (if you need to move to a non-Virgin Media area).

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Terms state "Call charges apply in accordance with your tariff", so would appear that existing talk plans still valid.

Do I still keep my tickles Talk International 2 Talk Mobile 2 Talk 08 2 Talk Weekends if I sign up for Line rental saver?

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Yes. All this is is pre-paying for 12-months Line Rental.

Seems so, but if anyone finds out what the stated exclusions are it would be handy if they could add to this thread:

"....Not available with other line rental offers, The Biz, The Biz Plus or Home Phone talk plan offers..." extracted from the T & C's

Rang up to enquire about this and I'm not eligible because I have a retentions deal. The guy suggested it was only available if you are on a standard pricing so may help those who are or have a collection.

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Rubbish. Aren't we all on "retentions" deals? I've had my speed doubled recently; ahead of time. For which I had to start a new contract. So that's a 'retention' deal, isn't it? (Well I had to call 'retentions' to get it.) So I'm eligible for this offer? There'll be trouble if I'm not :mad::(

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Carl, we are not all on retentions deals.

If you have an item on your bill that states something like 'loyalty discount' and you get £X per month discount then you are on a retentions / loyalty package.

If you just have your bundle charges plus line rental / premiums on your bill then you will be on standard pricing. This should then make you eligible for the line rental saver.

A new 12 month contract doesn't necessarily mean you are on a retentions deal. If you change / upgrade your services, this can sometimes lead to you having to agree a new contract.

Hope this helps.

I am on a Bundle phone, TV, TIVO, bb so I assume that I eligible for the Line Rental saver.

Is there a time limit to apply for it by?

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Well you should be ;) Fair enough though :)

Which I do. There'll still be trouble if I can't get this thing :(

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Ken - doesn't say there is a time limit.

Carl - give them a call and let me know how you get on, be interesting to see what they tell you as it wouldn't surprise me if they tell you different!

Re: Virgin introduces a Line Rental Saver option
 

Will do :)
