Virgin Media to offer free landline to mobile calls
Virgin Media, the television, phone and broadband provider, is to offer free calls for people using their landline service to Virgin Mobile phones.
For customers who get free calls on their Virgin Media phone tariff, these free calls will include calls made to Virgin Mobile customers from April 1st 2010.
The same free call ‘rules’ apply, where the first hour (60 minutes) of a phone call are free and any time after that will be charged. However, phone users are allowed to hang up and redial to restart their 60 minutes, as it is simply designed to prevent abuse of the phone system (e.g. leaving a phone call active for several hours without using it).
