Thanks, but I think I've just noticed that their offers are only on long term contracts, not 30 dayers. Bah!

Sorry, being a bit thick now - can't see where it says 30 days. The T & C's at the bottom for Pay Monthly say you need a 12/18mth contract??

you can take the plans^ with a phone on 12/18 or sim only on 30 day terms

Got it, thanks for that. I was looking all over and it said 'no long contract to sign, but couldn't see 30 days anywhere!

So it looks like by using Virgin you get T-Mo's 3G network, better inclusive minutes etc than T-Mo's Solo sim, as well as free voicemail which T-Mo charge you for - am I right?

diamonds

coolio

T-Mobile have to support a network structure, Virgin dont.

Virgin can afford to make minimal revenue on a min, T-Mob cant.

stevem999

You wouldn't happen to know if you can order more than 1 SIM as an existing customer would you? Given that you get inclusive virgin-virgin minutes, it would make sense to get my better half a new sim too, so we can talk to each other pretty much free!
