I've been using 18185 on Virgin landline for some time now quite happily, but lately have been unable to get a connection where the caller can hear me without very bad interference. I have reported fault to 18185, but not heard yet and not sure there will be a solution.

Is there an alternative to 18185?

I save my social calls for free weekend calls and use e-mail wherever possible, so only a very few calls per week and not enough to justify upgrading to Virgin unlimited calls at £8 per month.

In fact, my Virgin PAYG mobile charging at 8p a minute is cheaper than using Virgin Cable telephone for individual calls.
