Neighbour
Neighbour is thinking of signing up for VM broadband, but doesn't have a phone, only a mobile phone.
Rather than run up his phone credits, do you think I can let him come over to my house and call them using my VM landline on 150, or will this confuse them with a new customer calling from an existing customers line?

Re: Neighbour
Shouldn't be an issue, but make sure he doesn't do the authentication thing of the phone number you are dialling from to speak about this account.

He could always ring the Sales Team direct on 0800 052 0459 and choose option one.

But it is the Direct Sales number which is not so easy to find on 150 because I tried before posting.

Re: Neighbour
Or have a call plan and use http://www.0800buster.co.uk/ which gives you a geographic number to dial first.

Re: Neighbour
You could just let him use your broadband and do an online signup

Re: Neighbour
Come to think of it that's definitely the way to go because he wants to grab any cashback going and you have to do that online.
