1. I telephoned ofcom at 9 this morning.

If you have or have used a Nokia 3330 or 3210, you'll know what I mean. When you call someone from your mobile and they end the call, the phone has this 3 bleeps.

They probably use pay as you go sims because its more commercially viable as pay monthly sims can sometimes cost a lot more. If the sim boxes have 50 Orange sim cards, virgin media can easily set up direct debits with Orange for weekly,fortnightly or monthly payments with as much credit as they want, so £100 on each sim is enough to last.

Whether Virgin Media use sim boxes or not, they've got no right charging up to 25p per minute for calling mobiles that has poor connections. They must know about it because i've reported several times.
