International Calls

Hey,

I make a frequent number of international calls to the US and India, and I'm fed up of using crappy calling cards. I'm wandering how much does it cost to call International from a virgin line and if they have any packages I can buy for international calls?

Thanks.

Re: International Calls

As an alternative, you can try niftylist

Simply select the country, and dial the access number. Charges will simply be added to your phone bill, and it's likely to be cheaper than VM.

Re: International Calls

Don't be so sure - the 0844 rates on Virgin are higher than on BT

For instance the cheapest rate on that website to call the USA says it 0.5ppm - but dialling that access number on a Virgin line is actually charged at 2.98ppm which is the same as direct dialling the USA

Register with www.18185.co.uk then.

0.5p per minute to USA. Excellent rates for UK calls too.
