hi, hope this is in the right place (if not feel free to move it i tried 2 search for it but no results came up!)
from april 28th to septmeber 30th, all virgin mobiles can text other virgin mobiles for free!! they calling it the summer of text!
even if u on a bundle and get free texts anyway they still free 2 virgin mobiles!
u get up to 1000 free texts every month (so by my reckoning works out around 25/30 a day?)
not bad for nothing (as far as i am aware theres no minimum top up requirements or anything - they just free!!)

Thanks for that Amie. I got a text from virgin the other day saying about this but none of the people I know who are virgin customers did. They keep asking me if I'm sure and I started to think I was losing my marbles (I know I put them down here somewhere ).

At least I know I'm not............and I know how much money I'm gonna save on texting!! Whoopeee :j :rotfl: :T :T :T :T

Does anyone know if you need to actively do anything like call or text a number to get this? Or does every Virgin (including pay as you go) customer get this automatically?

System

I have a pay as you go with Virgin and emailed them to check something else out at :-

theteam@virginmobile.com

they said that I can also use this which is great, they also said you get free voicemail which is a bonus - had to pay for that with o2!!!

Thanks for great post.... :beer:

I asked Virgin to confirm this following a text message early April. Below is their email reply:

Thanks for your email to Virgin Mobile about free text messages to other Virgin Mobile users.

We have some fantastic news for you. Soon, you'll be able to text other Virgin Mobile phones for free in the UK. It all starts from the 28th of April 2006 and it lasts until the 30th of September 2006. That's all summer long!

You can send up to 1000 texts a month to other Virgin Mobile phones in the UK. And it won't cost you a single penny.

What's more, it doesn't matter how you pay – all our customers can text each other for free. So if you're on a bundle, or a Pay Monthly contract, you won't pay a single penny, or lose a single text from your monthly allowance either – every text to other Virgin Mobile phones is free in the UK.

And just to let you know, while texts to other Virgin Mobile phones are free, the rest of our costs will stay exactly the same. It'll still cost just 10p to text another network in the UK and only 30p to send a picture message anywhere in the world. The cost of texts to shortcode services and group text services will stay exactly the same too. You can check out all our costs online at virgin.com/mobile.

There are a few terms and conditions around our free text offer, too. Your free texts are for your personal use only and you won't be able to take them with you from month to month. You can check out all the legal stuff online or by talking to our team on 789.

I've got a Virgin sim card (from the free £5 sim giveaway) with no credit on it. I tried to text another Virgin user, but got the 'insufficient funds' message...
