Cheap international calls from a landline
Nobody wants surprise call charges when their phone bill arrives. Let’s look at the some of the best options for calling different countries at the lowest rates on your Virgin landline.
How can I make cheap international calls with a Virgin Media landline?
Upgrade your landline package with International anytime chatter and for a few extra pounds per month you can enjoy calls to select international numbers. This plan gives you inclusive minutes to mobiles & landlines in up to 50 countries on top of inclusive calls to UK mobiles & landlines.
Want even more? Try our Talk International £2 add-on which gives you low international call rates from 10p per minute to landline or mobile numbers in your chosen destination.
With our International anytime chatter package, you get all the great benefits of Anytime chatter plus inclusive minutes to international mobiles & landlines in over 50 countries.

We like to keep things simple. That’s why with Virgin Media, there’s no need for special calling cards or extra access numbers when dialling overseas. Once you’re set up with one of our international call services – such as International anytime chatter - you can make calls to other countries including Australia, India and China straight from your UK landline.
To use your inclusive minutes to make phone calls overseas - without worrying about call costs – simply follow these four easy steps:
- Dial the international access code of the country you’re in.
- Dial the country code for the destination you’re calling.
- Add the destination area code.
- Enter the local number you want to call.
Let’s put those steps into action and work through an example. Say, you’re off on holiday to Australia and want to call the Sydney Opera House to ask about opening times. From your Virgin UK landline, you would:
- Dial ‘00’ - the international access code for the UK.
- Dial ‘61’ – the country code for Australia.
- Dial ‘02’ – the area code for Sydney.
- Dial ‘9250 7111’ – the number for the Sydney Opera House.
