I rarely use the landline, if at all..  is there an option 'eg 'incoming calls only' where the line rental can be reduced as well??

You are better dropping any landline based service and looking at something like VOIP.
if you send some money on a VOIP phone you can get a free landline number from www.sipdate.co.uk if all you use in incoming you pay nothing.

If you want to call out top it up with £10 or so and pay as you go.

I have a VOIP phone with 5 incoming numbers. I use them for online things. I know if i should answeer a call based on what number the call is on.

er, try telling VM that... they will not sell TV360 without a landline..  that is why the original question.. 🙂

No Phone Needed. BB and 360

If you make quite a few calls another option is Vonage.

They give you an adaptor that allows you to continue using your existing landline phone. You can also install their app on smartphones & tablets & use your calling plan (and receive calls) from anywhere via WiFi.

PLEASE notice, I do not want a phone....

their initial offer was only £67 in total, with £25 activation, **nothing** extra, no phone line, etc... and they had forgotten that offer existed on their website!!!

when I called them they said the only way I can get TV360 is with a landline... SO I am looking for a way to get **VM** to reduce any cost of this..

due to the hopeless nature of their dependence on yodel, I need to pay for an engineer , so he can read a map and find me, lets hope he does so next week...
