Phones - Virgin Mobile

Virgin mobiles – Pay As You Go I have had a virgin mobile for the past 2 years and so far never had any problems with coverage apart from the depths of North Devon when I have to stand on a wall to make a phone call. I purchased a Nokia 3310 to replace my siemens, which was my first purchase via the Virgin.com website, only then to be replaced by my Nokia about a year later. Virgin Mobile offers you a discount if you have already purchased a phone ...
...voucher to get you started. Sort of an up grade if you like. Virgin mobile offer something called Virgin Extras when you are online, you can set up text alerts for free on the following subjects i.e. Sports news, music, going out (cinema releases), staying in (video/DVD releases) travel offers and news, shopping, organiser and fun such as horoscopes and lottery results all this to your phone for free. The reason I switched to pay as you go was ...

Review of Phones - Virgin Mobile

I had to replace my broken Motorola T191 due to a design fault!!! So with the help of Ciao and the internet, I spent most of a Saturday searching various websites and providers. I looked at Orange, O2, Vodaphone, T-Mobile (I was already with them), Virgin and The Carphone warehouse. My decision was made not only by the service a particular provider could offer me, but also which mobile I went for. In the end I was swayed towards Virgin. It was easy ...
...some might say). They already have an excellent reputation but I did check out a few ops on Ciao just in case I was misinformed. I ordered my Panasonic GD67 online on Saturday evening, I was given a choice of delivery times….morning, afternoon or evening. I chose evening as I knew I would not be home until 6.30pm, there was also a box for special instructions so I made a note that I was leaving for work at 9am and would be home at 6.30pm. They also ...

So you think that your network gives you loads of free minutes. We have all had the wool pulled over our eyes, they are not free, or as they say, there is no such thing as a free lunch. We pay for them! How? Read on... The answer’s simple. You pay line rental and thats there to pay for the things that you’re being given for ‘free’, such as ‘free’ minutes and a ‘free’ phone. They also want to make ...
...of your ‘free’ minutes – they take some money from you. In reality, because you’re often tied to a year-long contract, these freebies will end up costing you dearly. Take a typical deal that offers 20 ‘free’ minutes for £12.99 line rental. That’s nearly 65p a minute! Besides that, your ‘free’ minutes may not include calls made during the day and calls to mobiles on networks other than your own. ...

Review of Phones - Virgin Mobile

...strengthened the usage of mobile phones in the UK. Richard Branson (famed for having a finger in every business pie… and a beard) has launched Virgin Mobile as a joint venture with One2One. Virgin Mobile is, in essence, the UK's first "virtual" mobile operator. This means that the new Virgin Mobile service operates on the One2One network, which is then brought to you, the consumer. The One2One network is one of the most technically advanced in the ...
...means users who use their phones late at night will not suddenly experience tariff charges returning to 15p after midnight. There is no peak or off peak and 0800 numbers are free (a service not found on most networks). Text messages are 10p each, calls to non Virgin Mobiles are charged at 35p per minute and voicemail retrieval is free. For all except the high-end business users, Virgin Mobile should equal a cheaper all-round service. Although the ...

...of the day and the phones on offer are simply stunning. OK, the phones may be a little pricier than other prepay networks but the tarrifs are cheaper and there is no time limit on the call vouchers, meaning you won't lose out on call credit. Then comes in the interesting stuff....virgin extras. Through these on your mobile you can buy music, electrical goods or book a holiday through virgin at a discount. Also, you can be sent text alerts on a ...
...and help service are useful too. There is also optional insurance, e-mail alerts and you can even choose to pay for your calls via direct debit. More fun than your average network including features that I haven't seen on other prepay schemes. A hassle free way to own a mobile! Last but not least if you don't want to change your phone you can buy a SIM only pack for £10 including £5 worth of calls which at present is the best SIM only deal across ...
