    Dial 789 on a virgin `phone and you get a message telling you the remaining credit you have and then a list of options if you want anything else. Free to get the balance and 10p to talk to the Virgin `team`.

    Behind the SIM is a place for a mini SD card so fill with MP3s and videos!

    Just to clarify that it takes Micro SD, not mini SD

    Also how long does it take for the 100 x 2 minutes to be added. I texted the number with the code on my scratch card at 7pm and I havent been credited with the minutes yet...
    Mine credited within about 2 minutes - I got 2 texts back almost immediately I texted the code off.
    I ordered another one of these phones for my sister in law to be delivered today between 8-5. The courier rang the doorbell at 7:15! So much for a Saturday morning lie in!

    Got mine yesterday. Thanks to OP. :j

    Compared to other phones I have had, the buttons feel a bit cheap but then for the price and features I can't really complain! Nice that it has WM5 too so that I can listen to mp3s and play videos when there's nothing on TV.

    TV is a bit poor/non-existent in certain parts of the house, but in the bedroom it works perfectly (much to my wife's disgust!). Radio is good anywhere, and sound quality from headphones is not bad either.

    Ordered Thurs 6pm, arrived Fri 11am, free mins added immediately. Impressed with Virgin.

    you are wrong :-(

    i asked the same question to the virgin customer service

    i have a virgin tv/broadband package which allowed me to get a 300min/300txt mobile deal at £10/month. if you read the small print it states you can cancel at any time. In effect it is similar to pay as you go and not a 12 month contract.

    You will only get free tv if you are on a 12month+ contract

    Wrong i answered this question near start of this thread.

    My son got phone 2 weeks ago & we put his £10 a month sim into it & it worked fine just as Virgin customer services said it would so get in there & buy one if your on contract with Virgin as great phone with great tv pictures & dab radio as well.:rotfl:

    Yes this will fit it ok as my son took my micro sd card from my nokia & stuck it in his phone straight away & it worked fine.

    Best price i've seen is play.com which has a 2gb card for £15 delivered which is cheaper than ebay & comes from good company.:beer:
