Virgin PAYG Tariffs

marsh30

Hi guys. This may be of interest for other Virgin Mobile users with either TV/phone/broadband. From the end of this month they are introducing a new 8p tariff. Does this sound familiar to ASDA?? From what they told me, it appears that they have lost out following the price hike to 20p a minute. If you ring for your PAC number to change suppliers they will switch you to this tariff. Hope that is of help.:j

Thanks for this, I have just phoned them, (you don't need to ask for your PAC), and asked them to change me over to it, and they did it there and then.

The calls are similar to ASDA - 8p a minute, but on the Virgin tariff texts are 8p each.

ASDA texts are 4p each. One bonus Virgin does have is they give you 50 mins free Virgin to Virgin mobile calls every month - you don't normally find goodies like this on other PAYG tariffs.

- can I have more than 1 sim on this tariff? (i've ordered two without a problem)

- will both sims get the free 50 mins per month to call vm mobiles?

- how much, if any, do i need to topup to get the free mins?

One thing to remember - Virgin use the one to one network. Some folks find that a problem for coverage.

You can have more than one number [we have two here] and it has not been straight forward to swap, so far I've been waiting two weeks [though Mrs machloop is done]. :mad:

And you can't pay by direct debit anymore so we are reduced to topping up !

So no coverage then as 121 does not exist anymore, suspect they use T-mobile along with network sharing on orange or moreso everything everywhere :cool:

One 2 One was purchased by Deutsche Telekom in 1999 and rebranded as T-Mobile in 2002.

Yes I know and invested heavily in the network, so the old coverage issues are long history :cool:

t-mobile still has the worst coverage ... for me, anywhere.

Yet the actual coverage reports would differ, esp on 3G where it is good.
