A family member is paying £5 for the exact same deal as yours :smile: .

I ordered 3 of these on 9th August. Two of them have just arrived (14th August). Hoping the last one will arrive soon.

Still waiting here too, I know of other people who are still waiting too, claim to have been sent out but I don't think they have been

Number 1: I have a galaxy note 4. Pretty good phone, got it on launch day of the actual handset.
Number 2: pretty damn good handset if you ask me and probably anyone else who owns it, goods specs, you should look it up. Camera is 16mp if I remember right.
Number 3: I tend to send videos and pics over WhatsApp etc. Pretty handy apps, check em out BTW.
Number 4: working in city centre means there's pretty much wifi every 3 minutes between my work locations.
Number 5: not having data, cut off from society..last time I checked, data doesn't really impact whether youre able to contact the outside world which, BTW unlike you, I don't have to hide behind my phone screen to make friends etc :smile: and also FYI your attitude that you are portraying here, I doubt you're that successful sat behind that phone/tablet/computer screen using up your millions of data gb :disappointed: lmao enjoy being a wee troll!

I think you are the one disconnected from society if you think the majority of people spend their lives consuming videos on mobile devices.

We managed just fine for years without mobile phones - in fact, we managed just fine when we had to use the phone at the end of the street or down at the post office.

We managed just fine when we only had one television channel on our wooden television set - in fact, we managed just fine when we never had a television set.

We managed to go outside and live our lives, we got on with our work/studies, we visited friends and families, we enjoyed the journeys, the scenery - we actually talked face to face, we had meals together, we enjoyed the camaraderie - we enjoyed our 'stoneage' lives.

Nowadays kids are glued to screens and they think they're living. :astonished:

I barely use anywhere near 500mb a month, because my 100mbps home internet, DSLR camera, VR enabled PC, and large television do all the things that would be needing to use up anything worth the bandwidth. But if your squeaky airtight wallet can only buy a phone to allow you to pretend you're using the latest tech and looking at all those 'high resolution' images on a tiny little screen, then I guess you'll need more data :wink:

I have an existing Virgin mobile login and the order process fell at the log in hurdle at each attempt. I used a different email address to create a new account and it went straight through.

Virgin did recognise my personal details as they match my existing mobile account and prompted me to log in with that email address, but you do have the option to continue with the new email address, which worked for me. The sim arrives today. :thumbsup:

Why would you need to call 0870 numbers? Most companies have now changed their numbers to 03 so it is included in your plan. Use saynoto0870 to find alternative numbers or go onto the companies website.

With FreedomPop, calls are made via their unreliable app, and you can't call 08 numbers from it.

Lebara use Vodafone. Lebara, FredomPop, Lyca, Vectone are all frowned upon on here.

Honestly, give the credit check SIMs a go. My credit rating is quite frankly abysmal but I have still managed to get three SIM only contracts over the past two years (2 x BT, 1 x Three). Networks are far more likely to approve people with poor credit when they only want a SIM.

Just checked it's still live you need to go through uswitch...which takes you to virgin mobile....and signup

money is money at the end of the day, yes £48 might not be a lot but I wouldnt be happily giving it to Virgin for a service I wont use if I was moving elsewhere.

I apologise, wasn't intended like that, must be a glitch my end, tried 2 different cards, might be because I already have a sim with them and any existing details they have on me are no good to them to resell on.

Thanks though, at least this deal is still active, will report it to a mod

Yeah if you never use your phone for internet 1GB is just fine and dandy especially if your in your house all the time nd using WIFI. Try watching a one 1hr high quality show at the beginning of your data allowance and see how that pans out.

If your happy to watch low quality images on netflix and low quality sound when streaming music then i guess its fine, but personally i can't stand that. Its 2017 man, that's not for me..

I don't see the logic in paying £9.99 a month for the premium Spotify, plus the cost of Netflix and then scrimping on data to me that makes no sense but that's just my opinion.

Netflix Data Usage (Official)

• Low Quality - Watch about 4 hours per GB of data.
• Medium Quality - Watch about 2 hours per GB of data.
• High Quality - Watch about 1 hour per GB of data.
• Unlimited - Recommended only if you have an unlimited data plan. This setting will stream at the highest possible quality for your device and the content you are viewing. This may use 1 GB per 20 minutes or more depending on your device and network speeds.

But why would you want to stick yourself into a 12 month deal anyway there are many offers out there you might pay a couple if quid more but are free to change whenever you need to.

Virgin customer service us terrible, they gave me a discount when I complained about the price increase, then increase the price when they said they wouldn't. CS then told me there was nothing they could do and would put me through to the department for the PAC where the girl didn't even acknowledge me, manager then told me OFCOM were forcing all companies to scrap 39 day deals which is just a lie.

Stay with plusnet us bet you won't regret it.

Ask them?

That's why it's £4 a month

Tbh so many WiFi spots, 1gb is enough for me!

I watch no more video on my phone when out and about than I did in 2006 on my MDA Vario. 300MB does me fine. Hot deal.
