Get your virgin refurbs - even if 'out of stock'

proplusplus

Virgin have some fones in their refurb section listed as out of stock

you can get round this by clicking the exact link to add to basket (which they remove when out of stock)

i have done this a few times already, sometimes the page refreshes on the 'checkout' page - which means you will not be able to order when this happens - but try again a little later/next day and it should be fine

remember - if you log into your account first, you can get £10 off.

to get the £10 off, COPY the link & PASTE into browser... then add -NOSIM (including the dash) - this will get £10 off - as you will not be bying the Sim card pack aswell.

here are all the links for adding the fones directly to basket - even if they are listed as 'out of stock'.

please note: they have all worked in the past... they should still work - and as stated, if the checkout page keeps refreshing without allowing you to put in your CC/DC details, then try again later...

enjoy the savings!

pS) although not all the fones listed here are actually listed as 'out of stock' i have added the links anyway, in case they appear as 'out of stock' later on

dipsy

Can you explain what the £10 if you go through your account bit means.....

Thanks

By going through your account, it assumes you already have a sim card, which they usually charge £10 for and is already included in the cost of the phone. Therefore if you don't need a sim card, they take it off the phone price (does that make sense?)

proplusplus

if you have an account with virgin mobile (online registered account)

then you log in, and effectively you can 'upgrade' your phone without having to buy a new sim.

hope that explains it

Especially good if you got one of their £5 free sims

Just purchased one for my mum for mothers day - cos she needs a new phone - but doesn't want anything too complicated!!

The links as displayed are not quite right but the one above should be OK for the Nokia.

What is the point in ordering a phone that is out of stock ?

By the way, it doesnt work anyway !

I'm glad someone else is thinking the same as me
Is the OP implying that if they don't have a refurb in stock, they will send you a new one for the price of a refurb?
... or is it just a case of you're at the front of the queue if a particular refurb does ever come back into stock (although I'm guessing that most of them probably won't) :doh:

raymond

There was a problem processing your order:
The maximum number of Nokia 1100 Handset - As News you can order at this time is 0
Please amend the quantity and click 'Go To Checkout'.

proplusplus

No.

the thing is that at time they claim it is 'out of order' but you can still ordert them if you click the direct link in order to add directly to basket.

this has been posted on more than one forum, so stock had probably bee maxed out quite quickly.

but as stated, try every so often and it should work. the 'out of stock' means that most people cannot order, but idf you click the direct link, then sometimes it'll allow you to order even though their website claims to be 'out of stock'
