Title: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: Chubbs on Friday, March 3, 2017, 12:09:49 I plan on calling BT later to cancel my package and move other to Virgin. Only down side if Virgin can't offer me a phone line.
I don't really want to pay 18 quid a month for a phone line that's hardly used. So the question im asking myself is, can i get away with not having a phone line in my house? Anyone is the same situation and have come across any issue with not having a phone line?

Thanks Sam Title: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: pauld on Friday, March 3, 2017, 13:06:27 Ditched my landline years ago. Ditto. The only difference I've noticed is not being called by people with strong accents claiming to be called Steve asking about my PPI/Windows/Whatever is the popular scam du jour this weekNo issues whatsoever. Title: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: Berniman on Friday, March 3, 2017, 13:08:08 Would love to be able to ditch my landline

Title: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: Gethimout on Friday, March 3, 2017, 16:12:11 Ideally I would like just broadband and no phoneline, but as far as I'm aware most packages come with them both included together.
Does anyone know if there is a way for just broadband/fibre and no phoneline? Title: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: donkey on Friday, March 3, 2017, 17:16:00 Ditto.

I haven't plugged a phone in and I don't even know what my number is

Does anyone know if there is a way for just broadband/fibre and no phoneline? Virgin do broadband only deals. No line rental required. That's if you're in a cable area. Title: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: Whits on Friday, March 3, 2017, 17:58:56 I have a phone line as it worked out cheaper. I haven't plugged a phone in and I don't even know what my number is I have a phone plugged in because sky said I need one when I was having some issues to do line tests, never knew the number, still don't, my brother took the number down and before Christmas pretended to be a virgin media sales person to which I Lost my shit (I'm normally a very calm person) - I'd had a terrible experience and kept getting hassled by them. My brother phoned up 30 minutes later to apologise he felt that bad...whooopsTitle: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, March 3, 2017, 19:04:02 You didn't recognise your own brother's voice?

Generally you pay slightly more to not have one. I currently pay £26 a month for 50mb fibre internet with no phone or TV
Title: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: Batch on Friday, March 3, 2017, 22:23:46 No mobile signal in this house, so the phone line comes in handy.
Title: Re: Phone Line- Yay or Nay Post by: The Grim Reaper on Saturday, March 4, 2017, 09:07:08 I've got tv/phone/broadband package with Virgin. Bizzarely by removing the phone line my monthly bill would increase by 25p! The only person that's calls my land line is my mother!
