Tbh I'm not that great with mobile offers, but my son is on Virgin & he received an email this morning with the details of a FLASH SALE on simo deals at Virgin Mobile.
Basically they've doubled the Data Allowance on their £8 & £10 30 Day rolling contracts, with the £8 it was 1GB now it's 2GB + 1000 mins & unlimited txts & with the £10 it was 2GB, now 4GB + 2500 minutes + 2500 minutes to 08 numbers + unlimited txts.

Just a heads up guys, I've just done this online and a had a Customer Service Rep confirm and can see its confirmed on my phone too. If you login into your MyVirginMedia account, choose your account/number and then select 'Extras' Tab on the bar at the top of the page. You'll then see a page which says 'Check deals for upgrade' click this. This page is titled 'My tariffs and devices' and then click on the 'Manage add-ons tab'. You should then have an add on which says 'double data'. Select this and you can choose the date from which it is effective, ASAP or when your allowances renew. I selected ASAP and on my Virgin Mobile Account the extra 2GB data shows as Promotional Mobile Web in addition to the 2GB Inclusive Mobile Web that I already have. Hope this helps guys!! :smile:

It's not just 3g it's really slow "3g" I've compared 3g on an ee sim and virgin sim before and the difference is staggering

And with VM it's not if it goes wrong it's when.
I had the unlimited minutes tariff and after a few hours of calls it cut me off and kept saying I had no credit, on a SIM only contract?
Customer services explained after 3 advisors and 50 minutes on the phone to them that it was that I had used all of my 'virtual credit', they reset it and explained every time it happens just call and ask for a virtual credit reset.
More hassle than it's worth.

Thanks. Gonna sign the other half up for the £10 a month one. If I wasn't still on the Vodaphone deal with free Netflix I'd do this.
Tried to get my current £8 package upgraded to 2GB but they said it was only for new customers :disappointed: Nice deal if you're a new customer who doesn't mind 3G though.
