From: Martin Jay on 1 Feb 2010 13:47 Virgin Media is to offer free landline to mobile calls, but don't get too excited... <http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2010/02/01/virgin_media_landline_to_mobile_tariff/>: ----- Begin Quote ----- Virgin Media is to offer customers free calls from their Virgin landlines to their Virgin mobile phones. As always, strings are attached. Strictly free calls are reserved for the upcoming weekend-only 'Size M' plan. Add weekday evenings into the mix for 'Size L' and you pay �3.45 a month. For the 24/7 'Size XL' tariff you pay �7.95. Line rental for all three tariffs is �11.99 a month. ----- End Quote ----- I wonder how it will charge for calls to Virgin Mobile numbers that have been ported to another network? -- Martin Jay Back the Ban: <http://www.backtheban.com/> League Against Cruel Sports: <http://www.league.org.uk/>

Could well be worth porting a Virgin mobile number into ones mobile account Assuming you know someone on Virgin media who wants to call your mobile a lot at weekends Steve Terry -- Get a free Three 3pay Sim with �2 bonus after �10 top up http://freeagent.three.co.uk/stand/view/id/5276

But since Virgin are a mobile telco too, they'll have a database of which number is on which network. It 'just' requires plugging into the landline billing infrastructure. Theo
