Virgin phone subscribers have a nice little bonus coming their way on April 1st – free landline to mobile calls. There is just one catch – both mobile and landline have to be on Virgin tariffs.
BBC Click wheedled the info out of a Virgin PR person and told the world via Twitter. Although there was some speculation that this may be an April Fool’s joke, the offer is apparently confirmed from the top.
From the 1st of April, all calls to Virgin Mobile from Virgin landline numbers will be free, although callers may have to redial after 60 minutes (presumably to stop you using it as a cheap baby monitor or similar).
So, not quite the free call bonanza it could have been, but still an excellent incentive if you were thinking of signing up for a Virgin Mobile/broadband/landline bundle – especially for families with several mobiles.
