Title: Cheap Phone calls
Post by: mywifeshusband on January 25, 2011, 06:59:07 PM

I'm considering switching to Virgin Media in order to get a better Broadband connection. Currently I'm with BT who are treating me absolutely appallingly. My one hang up it the cost of making foreign telephone calls.  Plenty of organisations offer cheap international calls via BT wires, but I can't find much that is cost comparable when I do a search for similar third party facilities from Virgin. Am I missing something?
Ta in advance for any suggestions.

Probably not. BT has to be "open" due to competition rules, Virgin doesn't.

Virgin are one of the most expensive for calls, always best to stay with BT line rental but you can CPS calls to another provider.

This is the system I use with BT line rental and CPS to Primus telecom:
