    I'm sure the limit is 3 or 4 sims - I had 3 Virgin Media £10 30 day 300min 300txt deals with my Media package when that was the only deal avail for Media customers.
    SO... now England its the Scots turn to say dont leave the UK, stay in Europe with us in the UK, dont let the tories fool you like they did us with empty lies... You will be leaving the UK aswell as Europe ;)

    I signed up for the Virgin SIM only deal a couple of days ago, and if I recall correctly, the guy said you can have 5.

    Right, off to order some Virgin sims - just occurred to me to ask if all Virgin sims are 3G/HSDPA enabled as they are essentially T-Mobile sims, or do I need to specify somewhere?

    Thanks, but not sure how it relates to the quote! :D

    The Virgin 30 day sim-only deal is for existing Virgin Media customers and will give me 300 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data and unlimited virgin-virgin calls for £18/m, so less minutes, same texts but added data and same network calls, and no contract for £3 extra so it does me! But the Voda deal seems good if you don't want data and talk/text a lot.

    Anyway, back to the original question - are Virgin Sims automatically able to use 3G/HSPDA (i.e. T-Mobile sims), or do I need to specify something?

    Cheers

    I use T Mobile Solo 15. For £15 per month I get 350 minutes and unlimited texts. Its more than enough for me. T Mobile are the only network to offer unlimited texts on all their tariffs so I think they offer the bext value. www.uksimdeals.co.uk is a good site for comparing sim deals.
