Bit boring, needed to rant.
I have been with virgin mobile for years. I went on the DD pay monthly a while back with a huge package. I felt like i wasnt using it enough so dropped down a package. Its £15pm, 500min, unltd texts and 1GB. I set my limit at £50 so even if i went over it wouldnt be so bad. Last month I ended up having to ring 0845 numbers so increased my credit limit (to go to £55, but increased it to £100). I meant to put it back down but never got around to it, although didn't think there would be a problem. This month i managed to run out of mins without realising 6 days before my mins are renewed and ran up a bill of £75!!! argh, im gutted. Been doing O/T and thought woohoo bit of extra £, now its going on my phone bill. Feel really stupid
GRRRRrrrr.

Well at least you are taking it on the chin and not blaming Virgin or anyone else. You are beginning to restore my faith in people taking responsibility for their own actions.
(Obviously sorry to hear you racked up the extra costs.):(
Thanks. :beer:0 -
