Landline Text

[m419]

I have just bought a phone that can send and recieve text messages, what is the actual cost of sending texts from a Virgin Media phone?

Also, for those interested in getting this facility, you need to add the Number Display calling feature in order to recieve texts.

Assuming your area supports it.

Thats right! Very few franchises do not offer Number Display at this time. However, most areas do. Also for Virgin Talk customers (Those customers who use a BT line for there phone service) some BT exchanges also do not offer Number Display i.e rural parts of the UK.

Virgin Media have technical section about landline text but the whole site doesn't mention a thing about costs!

Also, there site says you can get Call Waiting,Number Display,Ring back and Reminder Call all for £3.50 per month. I might just do that since I would use first 3 quite often. Thats cheaper than BT! BT charge £4.50.

Call Divert cannot be used with some call packages in a few areas,it cannot be used with certain calling features too,so check with Virgin Media before hand.

Anonymous Caller Rejection is now charged seperately and costs £2 per month. Thats still cheaper than BT's £4 per month and TalkTalk's £3.86 per month.

So does anyone know how much texts cost from a Virgin phone?
