Like I said before if your gonna have Virgin TV or Broadband, you might as well take the phone as well,but rather than choosing Talk Unlimited, try Talk Anywhere or 18185 otherwise the cost of the TV and/or broadband will go up so you would be wasting your time,

XL TV: £23
Virgin Phone M package(Talk Weekends): £11.99
Total: Around £35 per month

XL TV: £29 (Cost of XL TV without taking Virgin phone)
BT Anytime Call plan and BT line rental: £11.54 plus £4.99 for Anytime call plan
Total: £45.54

And how much do you spend on 0845 and 0870 calls? About £5? So there you are it would be pointless switching for that reason, so rather than switching, you may want to look at services you can take out over what you already have like 18185, the service is accessible via an 020 or 0800 number.

Talk Anywhere 200 offers 200 minutes and line rental for £20 per month and offers inclusive calls to all UK mobiles,landlines and 0845 and 0870 numbers.

And besides, most businesses are migrating to 0843,0844,0871,0872 and 0873 numbers which are NOT included in BT calling plans.

And like I said before Calling features are more expensive and the evening call rate is being shifted to 7pm.
