You can then shop around for the cheapest supplier for calls. With a VM phone you cannot do that. VM are expensive for calls as well. A 20 min weekday evening call on VM is 66p on BT would be 6p, however you can get a call supplier on a BT line where you get free evening and weekend calls for no charge. See

So long as your property has once had a BT line they should reconnect you for free. |
I'll agree with you that VM are expensive for calls to a certain extent (I think their 6p connection fee takes the biscuit), however just because you have a phone line with VM does not stop you from using 0844/0845/etc. access numbers to dial international locations.
For example calling a Thailand landline on 0844 200 8585 (
0844calls.co.uk)will cost 0.5p/min from either a VM or BT landline. Even better if you have an O2 contract with inclusive minutes then on most tariffs it will actually be free.
