Virgin Mobile Contract

Thanks all very helpful,just found out the contract only has 5 months to go, out of interest what happens to the phone at the end of the contract

The phone was yours from the start.
Beware, that the contract doesn't end in 5 months and you have to terminate it by giving a 30 days notice or by requesting PAC and porting number to another network.

So if i phoned and gave 30 days notice of cancellation today,they would send me a bill of approx £50 for remaining period and i could keep phone?

Yes.
Terms and conditions of service - Pay Monthly Contract
2.2 and 10.5

However, I don't see any point in not using the services that you can use. IMO a teenager can survive for 5 months with 100+100.

yes u can pay off the rest of the term and get a pac code

up to you though you'll be 50 pounds out of pocket

You can also set a cap with Virgin online. I think the lowest was £50 some years ago, but there may be a lower option now. It's not ideal but it does limit any potential damage.

If you reach the cap you get a text to let you know and outgoing calls are barred. You can still receive incoming calls and texts.

SORRY never meant to sound rude but a 2 year contact with an allowance of just 100 mins and 100 texts a month sound a little unrealistic for a 14 year old!
its about 3 texts a day over the month! how many 14 year old you know would send just 3 texts a day? imo the op was just asking for trouble! if he has not got a girlfriend yet just wait untill he has he will be sending 3 texts a minute then haha
again apologies for my first response.

Agreed. I have two sons and they send between 700 to 1500 a month each on average.

I have had trouble with virgin but have usely come out ok.

Even though not a Virgin media customer they have given me 100mins 3000texts 3000 virgin-virgin calls for £5.11 a mth. Took some haggling but got it in the end.

Next time get a andriod phone and put whats app on so he can text without using his text allocation.

You would be better starting a new thread but what do you mean "has not worked at all abroad"?
