How are people getting "indefinite" deals, they only seem to offer me 3-6 month offers?0
-
They never said if it was for life or only for 6 months, does that mean its for life?
Or should I wait till my bill or something for info?0 -
They will usually tell you the period. Ring them back and check it. Don't wait till your next bill.0

Early Feb/March people were getting indefinite deals automatically.They never said if it was for life or only for 6 months, does that mean its for life?
Or should I wait till my bill or something for info?
When I have phoned I checked deals were indefinite.
Maybe now things have settled down at Virgin after things kicking off with Sky, maybe they are trying to cutback on throwaway deals & go back to fixed deal periods (3-6 months), or maybe they only give indefinite periods if you ask.
Nothing is written down about deal period on your bill.
Phone back to check.
