What should I consider when comparing home phone deals?
When it comes to finding the best landline deal for your house, there are plenty of things to keep in mind. Whether you live alone, in a house share or you have a busy household, your home phone deal should be one that works for your needs. Let’s explore some of the things you should consider:
If your calls can go on a bit, getting a landline deal with a limited number of minutes to call other home phones might prove expensive in the long run. Luckily, Virgin Landline has five call plans available so you’re bound to find one that works for you.
Talk Weekends, our simplest call plan, is your starting point. You’ll get inclusive weekend calls to UK landlines∆ and Virgin Mobile numbers, plus inclusive weekend calls to 0870 numbersϪ. The monthly cost of your line rental is the price of the landline call plan – so there’s no additional fee for that.
If you find yourself calling mobile phones from your landline more often than not, our Talk More Weekends landline call plan gives you inclusive calls to Virgin Mobile numbers and all other UK mobile providers. Before you get carried away though, the inclusive calls to mobile numbers and all UK landlines is only for the weekend. Monday to Friday, daytime and evening calls come at a cost.
Perhaps you don’t want to confine your catchup time to just the weekend. If that’s you, then our Talk More Evening & Weekends is right up your alley. It comes jam-packed with inclusive evening and weekends calls to UK landlines∆, Virgin Mobile and all other UK mobile providers too. Plus, you’ll even get inclusive minutes to 0870/0845 numbersϪ. What more can you ask for?
With Talk More Anytime you’ll get all of the above but you can make free anytime calls, Monday to Sunday, not just in the evening or at the weekend. That’s essentially unlimited calls – and your talk time sorted.
