Now, just phoned them up and asked for prices...they say they do not do this phone without the sim card, therefore only having recon at £29.99 only...
Is there something else I have to say to get the phone without sim card?

I have just tried and they said that it worked out the same. Once you activate the new sim that has £5 on it they would then send a £10 credit to your number after 40 days.
Not sure if you get the 200 minutes on the new sim.
I think they have done this as they have had a lot of requests. (Wonder why)Its better to be late in this life than early in the next one.

Oops...tried to edit but didnt work...
Nevere mind now, re-phoned up and got a nice woman who I had a nice chat with and I got the £19.99 w/o sim one!

Thanks op
Have just gone for the reconditioned one for £22.98 including postage.0 -
yes, they do encourage you toward getting the £29.99 with sim option but if you resist their pitch you can get it without.0

If bought with sim (includes £5 credit) @ £29.99, does your account automatically recieves the £10 credit once the phone is used or is this offer only for those people who spoke to customer services and asked for it ?0

Not sure if this has been posted before, but as an existing Virgin Pay as you go customer, you could also be entitled to an upgrade credit.
I checked my account and it took off £20 - the whole thing including delivery and my 200 free mins cost me £22.98!!
What a saving!!0 -
upgrade credit ?
Has anyone asked Virgin customer services about it ?0
