Masque,

Looking at the residential tariffs (phone review) from 01st Aug 2011, it seems to suggest the Talk 08 add ons will from August only include calls to 0845 numbers. Are you able to confirm whether this is correct or a misprint?

NB - the Jun prices still show it includes 0845, 0870 and other 08 numbers.

If this is the case, Virgin's phone is becoming really expensive as for XL phone it'll be £21.90 + £2/£5 for Talk 08 (for 0845 only) compared to BT who charge £18.60 for their equivalent and include 0845/0870 calls for no additional cost.

I'm more than happy with my Virgin services and appreciate it won't cost me the above price due to my bundle discount but it doesn't make good reading that Virgin charge over £5 (22%) a month more than BT for the same product.

Cheers
