Just ring and ask for the £99 price. Worked for me.

Overpriced to what? How much is a standalone 500Mb or equivalent (lower) broadband. How much is an unlimited sim card? How much is a full TV package including sports and movies in HD. How much is the equivalent landline package?

You asked a question, I gave you the answer. It looks to me like you had formed a snide comment in your head before you asked the question.

They sure can at £139, I think that £99 is still too expensive as well. I'm thinking of upgrading my basic phone to a smart phone and might have taken it at £80, but the nonsense that was spouted about the contractual agreement put me off ie it's £80 until May 2020 and then when that contract expires, it's £99 until.... May 2020. It hardly instilled me with confidence that things would go smoothly.

Based on what you had written on a public forum "so I had to say stop waffling and just give me the price" plus you think £99 is overpriced which is the cost to new customers. So what are you enquiring about a package that you believe is expensive at the new customer price that rises after 12 months anyway.

Can I just ask how £99 is too expensive for a quad play service which includes an unlimited sim card?

Yes, before we were cabled up in my area, I was paying BT about £120 a month just for the phone calls and charges!

So I think 100 quid for phone, broadband, sim card and the Full House TV service is a bargain!

Who's talking about sim cards? In my vew £139 for the top package is way too expensive, fine if you have money to burn!

Re: New Pick 'n' Mix option TV bundles

£139 is pricy but back in the day I was over £120 for Sky+, mulitroom, Telewest mid tier broadband, unlimited phone and Setanta in 2004. In real terms that’s £180 now!

Well we are talking about the VVIP package aren't we? It includes an unlimited sim card so adds to the value. But you didn't answer the question, how much are all 4 services from other providers or separately from VM?

That's correct. I knew what it included, I simply wanted a price without all the waffle and spin.

Whether something is good value or not is a personal choice based upon needs and what a product offers.
As he couldn't even present the basics to me in a logical and understandable format, I terminated the chat.

I'm glad you brought up the subject of line rental. Those who paid for Line Rental Saver lose out as it's already been paid, maybe that's why I was offered a further £19 discount (but he tried to make out he was doing me a favour).

The price is all over VMs website. No waffle or spin, it's there. I think your attitude to VM staff is disgraceful even if they are getting stuff wrong.

If someone doesn't need the VVIP package then of course its not going to be good value. At it's most expensive of £139 it still represents good value if you want the quad package. It's the top package they offer, how much cheaper do people want it to be.

Re: New Pick 'n' Mix option TV bundles

In other words Richard thinks he’s above paying the RRP on the website. Which is fine, but he can’t complain when he phones teams who will be under pressure to not offer discounts and finds there’s variation in the answer that he gets.
