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.

    Will call Virgin retentions tomorrow and see what I can wrangle out of them. Wish me luck!

    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.
