Same. I don't even remember what the number is but with Virgin, having all 3 services is cheaper.

Yes, but not used it for 8 years. I don't even have a phone to connect to the socket.

If you're with Virgin its pointless trying to get rid ! i would have years ago but there is no package without a phoneline, so they have had us all over a barrel fo many years now. It bugs me big time.
