I wouldn't recommend their use to anyone, as it's yet another thing tying you to your ISP that you can get better elsewhere. It's a shame they're not partnering with Dropbox like they are with GoDaddy, a few extra GB's on my Dropbox account wouldn't go amiss.
SmartCall was useful back when we had to pay for 0800 calls on mobiles, but now they're free there's little use for it. Instead of paying for XL phone or whatever, just throw the same money at your mobile provider for unlimited minutes, so you can not use them as well.
None of those offerings were particularly groundbreaking, none of them were reasons to move to Virgin or stay with them.

Smartcall is extremely useful in calling back home to landlines when out of the country. We use it quite a lot, so it definitely will be missed by us and others who use it the same way

I gave up my web space years ago, and I could never get all of my computer to back up to their cloud, so I personally won't miss those, but I'm sure other users who rely on them will. It's really much notice for backing up and finding new alternatives and the potential time involved for people on the slower end of the technology scale like me. So I'm grateful I'm not using those two things
