Point-in-fact, I would do away with my phone line (Virgin Media) if I could. I am paying £13.90 line rental for.... nothing actually, but I HAVE to because of the way the packages are put together. It works out "Cheaper" by haveing the phone line..... of course it does

.
There are over 700,000 numbers to choose from, are there really that many properties in these areas? I guess it must be pretty close then.
Of course there must be an option for EVERY property to have the option of a landline because most people will move at least once in their lifetimes.
It's going to be an inconvenience but one that people will get used to over time i expect.
