Virgin Mobile Rollover Query

I've just started on the Virgin Mobile 30 tariff, which allows you to "Keep any unused minutes for one more month".

Which minutes end up getting used first though? Is it the minutes for the current month or the unused minutes from the previous month?

Thanks

    hi there,

    I believe you will use up your previous months minutes first. I am a virgin contract customer who gets 200 mins every month however due to the rollover minutes I regularly have about 380 mins to use each month.

    P.s. I really like virgin and am really pleased with the service I have.

    HTH
    If at first you don't succeed - destroy all evidence that you tried.

    Thanks, that's the way I was hoping it would work.

    How soon does the 789 update the inclusive minutes.. Is it immediate as Three network (or) next day like Orange?.

    I must admit I don't know, I don't check very frequently. Why not try it and see.

    Received my Virgin contract yesterday and made a call today and 789 instantly updates the balance minutes. Also made a 07744 and it is included in the mins. :-))))))))))

    Out of curiousity, what's a 07744?

    (I've seen it mentioned on here before, but haven't figured out what it's for!).

    Thanks

    There are few providers like http://www.simply-fone.co.uk/ and http://www.yourcallworld.com/, who provides few 07744xxxxxx nos. If you call these numbers, you can then dialin a international destination and speak to friends over there. You will only be charged for 07744xxxxxx number and not for the international destination. But for most contracts like Virgin, these 07744xxxxxx numbers will be part of inclusive minutes and you won't be charged until you exceed your inclusive limit.

    So, basically it means you can use the inclusive 200 minutes to call most countries. This is a great money saving and hence you will find many threads discussing about this.
