The £10 for 5gb and unlimited mins/texts from Plusnet is better IMO

And no 12 month contract, Virgin tried to tell me the other week they were being forced into doing 12 month only deals by OFCOM total lie, cancelled there and then.

the data roll over is nice though, Im gonna see how the signal is with this, becuase they said I have 2 weeks to send it back if I'm not happy. Ill go to Plusnet then.

Any apps/ideas to increase the reception of VM?

Yes.

Virgin piggy backs on EE, so reception should be pretty good (depends a bit in phone, too wife's VM moto often has signal where my Sony on EE doesn't in poor reception areas)

Mug buy supporting the vile Richard Branson
OrribleHarry to ansonuk

Couple of points.
1) what has Richard Branson ever done to you? Very strong words to call him "Vile" 2) Richard Branson does not own Virgin Mobile or Virginmedia.

Let's call Branson a germ for attempting to thwart the will of the British people by bankrolling the anti Brexit campaign
placidsheep to ansonuk

Cool,
Now see point 2 where he says RB is not the owner of VirginMedia...
OrribleHarry to ansonuk
2 Oct 17#23
Like I said, what has he done to you, I suspect nothing.
Because the vote didn't go your way you're bitter, but calling people vile and a germ is wrong.

The vote did go my way - out. Extreme Brexit with WTO rules needed now

Richard Branson wasn't the only one that was Anti-Brexit was he?.
Jamie Oliver was Anti-Brexit.
As was Cameron.
And (ironically) Boris Johnson also.
And Alan Sugar too.
Amongst many others ...
Not just Richard Branson alone?.
But either way, I believe the will of the people would have opted 'different', if they weren't unfavourably misled by some, in the first place?. :-(
What you reckon ...
amour3k to ansonuk
2 Oct 17#31
Out of interest, why do you think the man is vile? (I personally don't think so?).
There are some I would refer to in similar word's perhaps? (but Richard Branson is not one of them ... )

I have been a customer with them for more than a year so called the sales department and asked if i could have a better deal as i am a loyal customer and they offered me that deal.

I was with Virgin months ago on 2gb data with unltd texts and calls for more than a tenner as they increased it year on year Told em I was leaving for plusnet, wouldn't compete or even try so i left. Now am on 5gb 4g data for £10 and cant complain, so are most of my family. Virgin tried to get me to come back, but as far as I'm concerned they really didn't try hard enough to convince me to stay...their loss.I gave them a chance and they missed out. Plusnet are OK so far. Only better deal for none data users is Sky mobile but only for existing Sky custoners where they are offering unltd data and texts plus 500mb data for a £5.

Going to have to vote cold as the reception for VM is so poor that even if it was free I wouldn't bother.

Been pretty happy with Virgin, but they didn't even try to offer anything that wasn't on the website when presented with a better deal and we've got two handsets, TV and have been with them a few years.
Their retention deals used to be awesome, but looks like it's time to go elsewhere.

logged in to find this offer - I guess the offers vary
4GB Mobile SIM - £8 a month
Superfast 4G data

Unlimited texts
12 month contract

Not bad at all!.
That works out as cheaper than I'm currently paying with Network Three ... (by only £1, but still?).
I get what you're currently getting, but I get unlimited minutes as well.
Unlimited minutes of which I rarely make full use of (so far), and for a good few months also. :-(
Could prove useful, in the course of time?.
Though I'm not a current Virgin Mobile Customer ...

I left Virgin media last week for plusnet. All the new VM deals are 12 month contracts so they really are not competitive. Plus their roaming issues this year were a joke. Speeds are similar on both (unsurprisingly).

I'm with Virgin Media
I pay £5 a month for 2500 mins unlimited texts and 2GB data with data roll over. £26 a month for 200Mbit Broadband with free weekend calls which I don't use but had to have for the discount.

I’m with o2 pay £10 a month for unltd text mins and 2G data however I get a free coffee at Cafe Nero each week with the priority app. So I’m basically getting £2.60 back each week.

I think a lot of us also do that who aren't o2 pay monthly customers. We just use a free or £1 PayAsYouGo sim for initial setup. 3's Wuntu can also be used like this but I'm less familliar with that but they have a free Costa coffee at the moment. I have both even though I'm Primarilly a Virgin Mobile Customer.
