Virgin to drop Premium Rate Helpline Charges .
Mar 21st, 2008 at 2:15am
 
"Virgin Media will drop premium rate charges to its technical support line in June, less than a year after they were introduced, the firm has confirmed.

An email doing the rounds inside VM says the move last summer to discourage irrelevant calls to the broadband support line has not gone down well. It confirms that the 25p per minute line will revert to a standard local rate 0845 number, or free by dialling 151 from a cable phone."

Someone still doesnt understand that 0845 is not a local call. Huh

Well, it is step in the right direction at least (even if someone doesn't know that local rate != 0845).

And a great pity they didn't follow BT's lead and change to 0800/0808 completely.

After years of ignoring govt. guidelines & RIPPING OFF Council Tax payers using 0845 numbers, Essex County Council changed to 0345 numbers on 2 November 2015

Baby steps Heinz... baby steps!

We can't hardly expect Virgin Media to move from 25p a minute down to freephone, can we?  Roll Eyes
