Virgin mobile abroad

Just started as a moneysaver but anyway...

I just realised how much i was paying to use my phone in Mallorca a couple of weeks ago.

95p a minute. I can't believe it how do they justify those prices?:confused:

I thought Mr Branson was one of the good guys - obviously i was wrong :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Are you sure about those prices ? I am on Virgin PAYG, but with the direct debit option. I only pay 60p a minute when I use my phone in mainland Europe.
