Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I've tried searching in this site and on Google but have had no joy.

I'm trying to find the geographic number to which Virgin's 0844 054 4020 number diverts. This is the number for their internet dial up pay as you go service. I've asked Virgin but they declined to give this information.

My reason for wanting this is that our previous dial up provider (not Virgin) has recently hit us with a change of dial up number. This means we have to re-programme a large number of mobile devices, very costly for us. We could avoid the risk of this happening again by programming our devices with our own 0845 number and diverting this to Virgin's landline number, if we knew it!

The other route is to divert our own 0845 number to Virgin's 0844, but this costs 8ppm plus cost of the 0845 call = too expensive!

Appreciate any help or tips.

thanks

Mark

Better still, you can try their which I can assure you still works OK.  
I use it every month to retain my PAYG account.

Why do you want 0845 dialup internet access?

If you're talking about installing you own lines etc, then that doesn't sound like the light internet user who spends about 30 mins a week just to check e-mails.

If you're spending a bit of time on the net, then perhaps why not switch to a supplier that charges a monthly fee, and gives you an 0800 or 0808 number for dialup.  There are suppliers who cater for a very light useage for a lower monthly fee, which still is cheaper than 0845 access

Broadband costs about the same as the more expensive dialup companies, so if you live in a broadband area, then why not give that a go.
