Good deal this, beats my GiffGaff

hot for me i just order online;)

Nice :thumbsup:

Thanks for the recognition! And in actual fact I think I'll be following your advice: while I was looking at a few deals I came across the BT Family SIM. There's a deal similar to this one that's £25 for 3 users and £31 for 4 users. Works well if you've got the numbers. Includes BT WiFi access too

Any price increase any time soon?

Signal is not that fast in central London areas . And other problem is virgin does not have any ui for missed calls . Like hullomail...

Came here to post this. Saw it as an offer on my account and managed to get it on an existing contract after 3 days of haggling. They were trying to fob me off saying it's for new contracts only but I couldn't see it mentioned anywhere in the T&Cs.

Best deal iv'e seen at £8 i wonder if plusnet will match it.If not i think i'll be going back to Virgin.

When i click the link above i get this.

And can only see this deal at £12 if i go straight to the virgin site.I am a virgin media customer but not mobile.

Same here

Just been on chat and was told this.
This isnt a SIM we are offering anymore Dennis, this was a limited time offer
When did you get this androidavis.

It's available to me if I sign in to my account

I upgraded my 3 household phones last month to the 5Gb package at £10 per month. I was hoping to move 1 of them onto this 4Gb package but it was not available to me. However, something better was - when I went into Manage Addons, there was a £2 per month lifetime discount available which I could apply and maintain my current package. This was available for each of my 3 phones, so 2500 mins, unlimited texts, 5Gb 4G data and rollover for £8 per month. Check in your manage addons area.

Hmmm, I pay £7.50 a month for 250 minutes and 1GB data with giff gaff, so this is much better. But then again, I never run out of minutes or bandwidth, so I would be paying 50p extra a month for nothing!

I'll have to ring em.

Hi den169,
Try logging in to your virgin account (not virgin mobile) and you can go to your offers. Or log in and then click on my link, and it should to show up existing customer offers as you are previously logged in.
I actually did it from my iPhone and when I added the phone sim offer and went on to order it asked for my username and password, as I couldn't remember my password I just selected the option to set up a new account with a different password and that still worked!

think the title should be changed to Virgin, not EE. Yes they use the EE network, but it's not through EE, and now even appears to be out of stock (even when signed in to my virgin media account 12£ it comes to

nope tried all that different pc and mobile all same.so i'll ring em.

I grabbed the 20gb package from BT, already had fibre with them anyway, deal worked out to £7.70 a month when i finally get the amazon £100 voucher, otherwise it would have been £16 a month.

Was with plusnet mobile for 4 months, they asked about whether i contacted them about staying with them, knew there was no way they could match the deal i got from BT.

I was happy enough with 4gb £10 a month deal with Plusnet, although it was a pain getting through to customer service to get my PAC code though.

Surprising how easy it is to get to 4gb usage in a month. My free Spotify account on my phone is taking a kicking in work with a 20gb data allowance now :grin:

paying £9 for 4gb data unl text + mins on 3, and tcb resulting to £5~p/m

Called got the indian call centre she said offer finished,There gonna get someone to ring me tomorrow.

Just ordered thanks.

When I phoned virginmobile yesterday they could not access this deal dispite being able to establish I was a virginmedia broadband/homephone/TiVo customer. The best they could do with 4gb mobile data was £12. So, do not bother with virginmobile to get this deal as they will conclude it is no longer available.

The good news is this deal through Virginmedia (not virginmobile) is ongoing and has not expired. To double check this, I asked my dad to help verify it this evening, as he also has virginmedia services at home. He followed the link in my post on his iPhone, was immediately asked to log in to his virginmedia (not virginmobile) account, once done he was brought to the page showing his existing customer offers with the deal at the bottom. You should be able to log in to your virgin media account without the link, just select My Virgin Media at the top, and under that near the top select My Upgrades & Offers, then scroll down to the sim offer. Here are screen shots my dad took this evening:




The virginMOBILE operator can't see this deal so is saying it is expired. This is not true, otherwise my father this evening, and others on this thread and myself wouldn't be able to access it

So this is basically EE and they offer rollover data yet EE themselves don't offer rollover?!

Presume a technicality with the affiliation with Virgin Media. Poop though.

This is better than my currrent giffgaff tarrif but what has always put me off Virgin is the lack of tethering. Wish they wouldn't dictate how i use the 1's and 0’s. It's not like its unlimited

offer roll over data, but charge you for going over at 3£ per gb as virgin do not allow you to cap it

This offer is still showing for me. I have Virgin Media broadband so logged into my account and clicked on mobile/upgrades. £8 is mighty tempting. But with giffgaff 1) I can tether, and 2) Never have to worry about overspending or unexpected charges on calls or internet - on Giffgaff it just doesnt work if it's not included in the bundle and your balance is £0. One less thing to worry about.

Come on Virgin Media. Just add tethering and capping and you'll get my money.

On my £23 EE sim, if I run out of data they charge me £7 for 1gb - that's just for a week as well. Had no choice to pay it as EE wouldn't 'do me a favour'. When I previously was with T-Mobile before EE there were a couple of times they sorted me out

Fair one there. The cap is a good thing and would rather that!

well they did ring me just now and gave me the offer,Still nothing on my account to get this.2 sims on there way if plusnet come back and match i'll stay with them.But an extra 1gb roll over 1000mins and free whatsapp and facebook data for same price swings it.

Was still able to get this deal now. Didn't show when I used link and logged into virgin media account but did show when I did the exact same thing on my phone off my wifi. Was able to order entirely online with no phone call needed.

Good deal - thanks.

No Joy for me, and CS deny this offer even exists.
I think part of my problem is that I have media retention deals on my account, so it wont let me upgrade without speaking to CS.

I have retention deals on my media account.I had to ring and get a manager to look into it,She rang me back and gave me the offer.Not got the sims yet but it says 5 to 7 days,Already had emails with the full offer on.And telling me what date the money will come out of my bank.

I got this deal but decided i don't need the 4GB data so went to the website to cancel. While there I noticed I could change the plan to 2500 mins unlimited texts and 2GB data for £5 so did that.

Hi, has anyone received their sim card yet? I chose the free delivery option of 5-7 days but I haven't received it yet. 5-7 days is a ridiculous amount of time.

Same here i ordered sunday 16th,So i rang saturday to see where they were and they resent with yodel got a text this morning saying they will be delivered today.

still waiting on mine too. been about a week,

I've just got my first bill without having received the SIM yet...?! That happen with you guys too?

Mine just turned up,Not the original ones but the replacements.I also had an email telling me they will be taking first months payment on 1st august.

Thanks den169, I think I'm going to have to give them a call. What's funny is I received my direct debit details which were posted later than the sim. Funny that :smile:

I've been with VM for years and have never had a problem with tethering.

Mine turned up today.

Just ordered. This is still available.

If I leave virgin broadband do you keep the deal regardless?

I doubt you would have to leave the mobile part if you left the media side.

Was just wondering if there were any price changes or penalties, or will it stay at £8(plus RPI July increase)?

I received mine yesterday. They really need to sort out their free delivery times.

Thanks to all that posted Virgin deal. Took 3 phone calls and various "debates" over wording .Finally transferred to manager and hey presto got deal for my 3 phones. Now the wait for sims lol :thumbsup:

My dad has VM, is there a way for me to get this without having to pay through his card?

Am i essentially stuck with giving him the £96 directly every year?

If he doesn't have virgin mobile then yes, you can use a different card for direct debit to virgin mobile as opposed to virgin media. If not go for the Plusnet deal for £8 with 3.5gb, it's only a month contract so can change if anything better comes up. Virgin is a 12 month contract, but they do rollover the data.

Don't forget free data on whatsapp facebook and messenger.

Only thing putting me off Plusnet is not receiving or being able to respond to short numbers.

Thanks though, ill talk to my dad and see if i can sort it.

Yeah, I got mine in about 7 days. Took two more to port my number over.

I also now have their 2gb data 2500 minutes sim only for £5/m too. If interested here's what I found...

There are 3 sim only offers for those who also have the virginmedia home services.

They are all 2500 minutes unlimited texts and either 2gb data, 4gb data (this deal) or 8gb data I think it is. The one you can readily access as an existing customer is this deal that I posted, as you can do it from you accounts dashboard online (and more than once), however you can only seem to get the £5 2gb data sim if you are a new customer getting virgin home services.

I phoned up saying I was struggling to get this deal from the website saying it only had the 4gb option for £8 and could they help set the 2gb deal up - and after checking into it and explaining it was for new customer getting home phone/broadband, I asked nicely if I could still do it as it was for my daughter who only needs a lighter package. After speaking to their manager and seeing I had an account in very good standing passed the credit check, I was allowed.

While he was processing this I cheekily asked if he could process two sims to send me - as I had another daughter who could port across to virgin mobile - after checking with manager this was agreed too.

So one sim 4gb/2500mins/ultdTexts £8 (this posted deal), and two sims 2gb/2500mins/ultdTexts £5 a month. Very happy with that.

Sharing the story in case you are interested and willing to check/try yourselves if another SIM would be useful.

Or just order the £8 sim then change it to the £5 one in your account page. You will get charged £8 for the first month and then £5 there after, Your remainder of the 4GB data will roll over too. I have done this.

The offer is still valid. Scroll to the bottom of Upgrades in your normal Virgin Media Account page :thumbsup:
