I think the boxes are different colours in different parts of the country. Why wouldn't virgin engineers hack so they can do premium rate calls? They might if they thought they had a fool proof way of doing it? I t did happen-look now nobody believes that it has and maybe it will only be brought to light when more people question their bills.
