Virgin sim only...best deal?

I have had a Virgin sim only deal for a few years now, 300 mins, 300 texts for £10 per month, plus free Virgin to Virgin calls (Rest of the family also have Virgin mobiles)
I don't often use my text allowance, I do tend to use the minutes but I have no data allowance at all. My current phone is not much good for the internet but I have to get a new phone anyway and a data allowance would be handy. Has anyone managed to negotiate a deal with Virgin for a decent amount of minutes, texts and data for around the same amount of cash. I don't want to commit to a contract either!
Also, does anyone know who is stocking the new Samsung monte in white, unlocked? I can't find any stockists on the internet.
Thanks!

Hiya,
I've got a contract for my daughter with Virgin. Its sim only 30 day rolling contract. She gets 800 mins, unlimited texts (3000) and unlimited data (1g) for £10 per month. I phoned them and said I had been looking at the Tesco deal and straight away she said they could give me a better deal. When phoning do the thinking of leaving option.0 -
Thanks for the replies....and I thought I was getting a good deal!
Will call Virgin retentions tomorrow and see what I can wrangle out of them. Wish me luck!"I may be many things but not being indiscreet isn't one of them"0 -

I was given the below deal via Virgin Mobile retentions:
(I think it's only possible if you have an XL landline with them)
£7.32 per month
600 x-net minutes
3000 SMS
3000 Virgin-to-Virgin (mobile and landline) minutes
1GB data
This is on a 30 day rolling contract. It's their £15pm standard package with an £8 recurring credit.0
