The only option is to subscribe to a 'anywhere' package as I mentioned earlier for inclusive toll free calls to non VM mobiles or you could opt for the 'talk mobile' pack which gives reduced toll calls to other networks.

Calls to most mobile networks from any landline provider are unlikely to ever be cheap though.

It will launch and it's the correct way to add features over a staged period. The platform integrity is more important.

By golly you will defend Virgin until you are blue in the face DF, loyalty counts for a lot but you have to treat your existing customers a little bit better for their loyalty as well.

Yes, but all you seem to do is bitch and whine (imho) - if I was that consistently unhappy with my service provider, I would change supplier.

Maybe consider getting Sky as they are supposedly adding new features to their red button services next season including HD Match Choice.

It seems some forum members cannot take constructive criticism of their beloved Virgin this morning.

Re: sky sports red button

It has got to the point where i am going to disconnect Virgin Media services in stages. First stage March 23 disconnecting phone and downgrading from XL to M+. Will wait for the price rise to take effect and wait in anticipation of (Red Button) Launch?? Then get rid of Broadband and tv which will be a phased disconnection.

Maybe that Denphone cannot get sky i would have trouble where i live in flats a long pole would be necessary for a signal, i am on the top floor of a small block 4 flats,the rest woud get no signal whatsoever due to there being other flats blocking any kind of a signal just a thought.
