After reading a thread on here i thought i would give them a call.
I was on a package costing £58 per month giving xtra large tv telephone with free weekend and off peak calls and 4mb bb connection.
I asked if i could change to their 4 for £40 deal and without any hassle they changed me.
I now have Same tv package 2mb bb connection (dont download much anyway) same telephone deal and a sim card for virgin mobile giving 100 texts per month and 100 any network anytime minutes.
So now im gaining a mobile and saving £18 per month. Plus they have gave me a £23 credit for this month (that pays for the mobile ive bought from fleebay lol)
Anyone wants to try then phone Vm sales department.
 
See they've now making it 25p per minute to call support after July 1st.

Get ringing quick before this new policy takes affect i guess. I did and got a great bargain. But you may wanna merge this thread with the one in bargain basement lol theres a huge virgin media bargaining one that i created.
 
would it be 25p calling the 150 number aswel? i called them up a few months ago and get unlimited landline calls and 4mb broadband for 15 quid.
 
I would just give you a piece of advice...make sure you double check the offer i.e. after you end the call phone up again and speak to a different adviser and get them to confirm just to be on the safe side. I was offered something last year and now VM are not willing to honour it. I have written a letter and see what they say...
 
these kind of threads have been going on for months lol ...just shows how much people here actually browse the site...
.
Lol i never browse the forum. Thats why i have over 3500 posts and have been a member for over 5 years.
Just to let you know i browse this forum daily so your comment is bollocks m8.
If you read my post it does state that i read the original post.
If a mod wants to merge it then fair enough.

Ps i only post when i feel it ness not like a lot of people on here who post for the sake of it or to get there post count up.

It really does depend on who you speak to and their mood (and what targets they need to meet)...

Thats why i rang sales and asked for a specific deal m8.
 
u need to say u have been offered a deal by say orange and they will try and beat it then , because the calls recorded
 
Tell them you've lost your job,you dont wanna cancel but whats the best deal they can do for you?
Otherwise your gonna ditch them altogether,they'll keep you.

because all will have to do is watch tv all day lol
 
just been reading the terms and conditions on vm website. If you are an existing customer then you are eligible for the new deals if you are adding a service.
So in my case by adding the mobile phone service i qualified. Great deal in my view lol free mobile sim with 100 mins and texts and a saving of £18 a month.
Cheers Richard.
 
after reading this I phoned and got my tv phone and broadbad down to £18 a month nearly half :)
 
sorry m8 but you have been had . i get 300 mins anytime any network 300 text . tv 4mb bb and free national land line calls day and night for £35 a month ..phone them back tell them to stuff it your going to sky and taking the lot with you .
 
The 25p a min charge is only applicable to the broadband support service as far as I can make out.
TV & phone support are atill free I believe.


Chris.
 
TV XL
BB 4mb (not been traffic shaped)
Free evening a nd weekend calls

£35

plus 300 calls and text for an extra tenner.


Unfortunately, the 300 min offer has now ended.
all new sim customers get 100+100 for a tenner/month.
all existing sim customers keep 300+300 for a tenner /month.


another thing worth considering is that there is now no extra charge for V+.

Just got to try and blag free installation (otherwise £150 - ouch)
