    The virgin site has been slow and timing out for the last 2 days. It also went squiffy when I ordered my 8 that is why 3 got bought between nos 6 and 8.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    The clever way to get the most out of Virgin Mobile is to COMBINE the offers from various sources. e.g.

    1. Go to www.virginmobile.com/oneaccount for the best 20% phone discount
    2. 'Buy' a Nokia 3200 for £47.99 plus £8 SIM/credit = £55.99
    3. Replace /oneaccount with /lifestylerewards for the free £20 voucher
    4. Buy another Nokia 3200
    Basket now has 2 phones and a £20 voucher
    5. Reduce the QTY of phones to 1
    You now have the same basket as at 2., but including a FREE £20 voucher.
    6. Complete your transaction.

    I used this method over a year ago and I'm glad to say it still works. icon_biggrin.gif

    If you don't want to use the phone on Virgin, you can unlock it for free at www.trycktill.com/eng and sell the Virgin voucher and SIM on eBay. You've then got a brand new camera phone for about £35. icon_wink.gif

    Needless to say, the 'combination method' will work for any phone you choose - not just Nokias. If you use it for the very cheap Nokia 1100 you'll pay £23.99 for the phone, £20 voucher and SIM with a further £5 credit.

    You could even use this method to top-up an existing Virgin phone for cheaper than buying the £20 credit. Sell on the unlocked Nokia 1100 for, say £15 and the SIM for £3 and you've got £20 credit for £2. icon_biggrin.gif

    And if you join rpoints for cashback - then there is scope to squeeze a further 2.5% cashback. PM me if you would like to earn £5 cashback for new rpoints joiners.

    stub - YOU ARE A STAR :D

    Was going to take advantage of the original offer without your master plan, but I tried it and IT WORKS..

    What's more, using GreasyPalm, you can get 3.5% cashback

    So, my deal was -
    Siemens A60 @ £23.99
    Includes £5 on sim and extra £20 vouher = £25 credit
    84p in cashback
    So the £25 worth of call credit will really cost £23.15 :) and I effectively get the phone for FREE

    Cheers to the OP and to stub451
  • And what's more.........

    I ordered just before midnight on Friday, and the phone came today (a Sunday!)

    Could I ask for more?

    Just worked OK for me using the Nokia 1100 example.

    Check your typing.

    1. www.virginmobile.com/oneaccount for the 20% phone discount.

    2. www.virginmobile.com/lifestylerewards for the £20 voucher.

    Good luck! :)

    I'm not sure the 20% off is supposed to be available. If you look at the T&C it says:
    This offer is available until 4th January 2005.
