Virgin Media announces free landline to mobile calls

Virgin Media announces free landline to mobile
    calls - Mobile news

Customers can call Virgin Mobiles at no extra cost

Virgin Media has announced that it will allow its landline customers to make free calls to Virgin mobiles from 1 April.

The move is part of an initiative from the company to provide a variety of unlimited calls packages.

The telecoms provider claims that the move is continued part of its 'quad-play' strategy. Nearly 10% of Virgin's customer base subscribes to all four services provided by the company.

As a result of the move, nearly half a million customers will be able to make free calls from their Virgin Phones to their Virgin Mobiles in addition to the free Virgin Mobile to Virgin Mobile calls they already benefit from.

Virgin Media executive director of mobile and telephony, Graeme Oxby said: 'At a time when other providers seem keen on giving their customers less from their phone service, we are extremely proud to be leading the way in this field, being the first to offer free home phone to mobile calls.

Our successful quadplay strategy has demonstrated customers are looking for exceptional value by bundling more services together, and this move to include free calls to mobiles with our home phone service underlines our commitment to ensure Virgin Media customers get the best deals possible.'

  • First to offer free calls from landline to mobile? Don't think so. The Post office have been doing this for a while. Yes, it's only at weekends but it's to ALL UK networks.

  • This is great news and the best reason yet to switch all our mobiles from O2 to Virgin. The HTC HD2 for £30/month looks very tempting and since we have a Virgin land line we'll not only get free calls to Virgin mobiles but also 3,000 free Virgin mobile to Virgin mobile minutes as well.

  • Think this would be more newsworthy if it was too ALL mobiles rather than a very small percentage of them...
