Does anyone know much about Virgin Mobile? are they reliable? Is the coverage good etc?

I can recommend them to anyone. Very reliable, cheap tarifs and great deals. you also earn money off new phones when you top-up, as a reward. Eg, bought DH Motorola flip phone £60 ish, had £40 discount in Red Rewards scheme, so only paid £20, and it came with a £10 credit token. Same phone in Argos would have cost me at least £60+, so I am well chuffed!

Virgin - good tariffis, good deals, good service (T-mobile network as others have mentioned), choice of PAYG or contract and fantastic customer service (far better than 02, three or Vodaphone !!). Free voicemail retrevial (in the UK), if you have credit, or are on contract. And currently 3p/min and 3p a text to send/call other Virgin customers.

And if you're a cable (Telewest or NTL) customer, you can get a sim-only deal - for £10 per month - 300 anytime/any network minutes (01/02 and mobiles) and 300 texts to UK mobiles !

As per prevoius posts, only real downer is potentially the coverage (piggy backed on T-mobile) so check your area(s) of use first.

Just bought a new phone I was using an old Siemans A50 which seems to be losing its signal :eek:

As I have an existing Sim Card I went through the upgrade option. This knocks a £10 off the normal price i.e. £5 for Sim and £5 for credit.

Also went through quidco which (fingers crossed works). All in All :

SE K510i + £10 (on Top up card) + £35 (£5 credited to your sim each month for 7 months, when 1 voice call is made per month).

First call must be made before end of January 2007.

I know it is a bit of an indulgence but I really need a decent reliable phone for work related calls.

I can also vouch for Virgin, have been with them for many years on PAYG. Its great for me as a low airtime user. Credit never expires and phones stay connected after many months of nonusage unlike some of the other providers.
