Hey, how did you manage buying more than 2? I tried but my order is not being accepted online!

You can buy up to two at once. You can buy more as long as you don't order them at the same time. In the last year I have had about six Virgin refurbs for family and friends.

yes, I didn't order them all at once, it was over a period of 1 year.

Thanks for this
I've just ordered my dear mum a siemens A65 for 9.99.
This will be her first mobile so she wanted a cheap phone that is easy to use.

Just bought a Nokia 2600 refurbished at £14.99, first class delivery, ordered late at night and got phone this morning. Bought a Nokia 3100 for a tenner at 02 and so far have not been able to find a match to that price and was indeed very pleased and is still very pleased with it , it is a refurbished. So guys, do you think it is worthy to buy refurbished ones as I am still loooking for one with a camera or is it a change you take, you can get good and bad deals?

Not sure about the siemens, but Nokia 1101 is very cheap, reliable and easy to use for an older person. Just bought one for hubby.

The Siemens has arrived and looks fine ...no scratches on it.
If my mum doesn't get on with it i will definitely look at getting her another refurb for that price.

Jummy, you will find Nokia is very user friendly, the 1101 will be ideal for your mum. I have just bought the Nokia 2600 and am very pleased with it.

I've had a few refurbs from Virgin over the years, with mixed results. The early phones were fine and in great condition. Then I ordered a Samsung and a Moto V220. The Samsung wasn't right, but as I didn't use it for a month because I was away, Virgin said tough, not very helpfull.
The Moto was a nightmare, I think we got through 2 phones and 3 batterys before we gave up. Then O2 did the Refurb 3100 for a tenner, and the V220 which was on this site. So goodbye Virgin, hello O2.
Next time I want a mobile, I'll still try for a refurb, well, isn't that what moneysaving is about!

Just received a Refurb CL75 Poppy from Virgin today. Came in a virgin Refurb box but was complete with all accessories incluuding the crystal charm, instruction books etc.
Looks immaculate and no problems so far. Even better Virgin have reduced the price to £49.99 (£39.99 if already a Virgin Customer).
