Virgin Mobile Mistake!

Just picked up Mondays copy of METRO newspaper on my local bus (coventry)
The front page advertises vouchers with Virgin mobile
Go to page 19 and you will be able to tear out a voucher.
Take this voucher to any Virgin megastore and it will be exchanged for two free sim cards each with £5.00 airtime!
Virgin only meant to have this freebie printed in the London edition but it has been printed in every edition throughout the U.K!
Best of luck

    I am I the only one getting fed up of all this "london only/first" crap?

    (and yes, i am aware that this freebie is not now london only)
    The word is BOUGHT, not BROUGHT.
    It's LOSE, NOT LOOSE.
    You ask for ADVICE not ADVISE.

    Yep, me too. I live only 30 miles as the crow flies from London but in magazines where they do offers for free haircuts and the like there is never anything remotely near me!! If you don;t live in a big city, you are nobody, apparently.

    The online offer was a few weeks ago. The only way to get one free now is to print off the voucher from http://www.virginmobilesimoffer.com/voucher.php and take it into your nearest virgin megastore or whsmith which has a virgin mobile store inside.

    I tried to get Virgin SIM cards. Printed out voucher, went to shop and... SA said "Sorry, we have no SIM cards". I asked when they will have any and she said - no idea. Sounds strange - mobile phone shop without SIM cards!!!!!
