So what does it cost to phone 0808 numbers from Virgin Media? From 2013 a Virgin Media landline or home phone Freephone call was free. For your mobile pre-2015, it used to mean that you either had to pay for a costly, monthly VIP tariff which allowed you unlimited 0808 calls, plus unlimited texts and data, or you paid through the nose and got a big shock – as many people were totally unaware of the mobile call costs charged when dialling a Freephone number. However, if you were extra clever and did some research, you could download a nifty little app called 0800 wizard which allowed you to call any 0808 number free from your mobile.
