UK mobiles @ 7ppm

UK 0845 @ 2ppm
UK natl. rate @ 7ppm
plus good rates on most overseas calls.
e.g. 1ppm for calls to US landlines & mobiles
There's no need to open an account or pay up front, just dial the appropriate access number followed by the number you want to call. The calls will appear on your normal phone bill. |
To call UK landlines via virgin using phonecheap.co.uk,
it's 9.79 connection fee and 3.96 p per minute, not the 1p quoted on their site (1p is from a BT line not a Virgin one)
To call UK mobiles from phonecheap via Virgin,
it's 9.79p connection charge and 9.79p per min, not the BT rate of 7p per min quoted on their site.
0845 calls are 9.79p connection and 6.89p per min, not the BT price of 4p a min quoted on their website
National calls are 9.79p connection and 9.79p per min, not the BT proce of 7p a min quoted on their site.
Calls to USA landline are 9.79p connection and 3.96p per min, not the 1p quoted on their site
You have to be very careful of using any 0844 etc numbers from Virgin, always check Virgins prices first, they're nearly always more expensive than any price quoted for BT. That's why I always use the likes of 18185 where it's a freephone number hence the price they quote is the price you pay.
Use
http://allyours.virginmedia.com/pdf/...phic-calls.pdf to find your number.
First of all try 0844 followed by 3 digits, eg phonecheap.co.uk's number for UK landlines starts 0844861, but searching for that doesn't show any results so search for 0844 followed by 2 digits, 084486 and this shows you are calling using Virgins rate PG8 (always try searching for 3 numbers first as for example 0844871 has a different rate to 0844872, only search for 2 digits if there isn't one for the 3 digits)
Then go to
http://allyours.virginmedia.com/pdf/...tober%20V5.pdf and near the bottom, you can find the price for the PG8 rate which is 9.79p connection and 3.96p per min.
Many thanks to BenMcr who helped me figure out how to find these rates.
