  • hi there
    Please note that lots of my friends complaints to me that cheapest chat is charging while you cannot get through to other countrys line and I checked myself and I made a complaint against them. They just told me that your complaint has been transferred to complaint department, But unfortunately i did not receive any reply from them. THIS IS ANOTHER CON OF CHEAPEST CHAT- TO GRAB MONEY FROM US.

    BECAREFUL.

    What has this thread got to do with this. Nowt !!!!!

    If you dial an access (gateway) number for an intl call provider,you normally start paying as soon as you here recorded announcement,and you get charged even if the number you are calling is unobtainable.

    Does anyone know if you can get this free £2.00 credit if you have a PAYG Virgin mobile phone ?

    alan, did you register your sims at the same time or did you wait between registering each one?

    I have just received a £2 credit to one of the free sims I received, this sim is fitted into a spare phone and has been used, I have a few more of these free sims with £5 credit, is it possible to get the £2 credit onto these sims even if the sim has not been fitted in a phone or activated. I received a text from Virgin to say that the £2 credit had been added, so would they know if the sim is not in a phone?

    I registered all the old Virgin SIMs I could find - about half a dozen in all. Some hadn't been used for a year or so, and most were not in a phone. They've all had £2 credit added - which shows up online.

    Did you do them all at the same time, or wait between registering each one? and did you use the same details,(name,address etc for each one)?

    I did them all at the same time, and registered them all to the same (already existing) account.

    Does anybody know if there's a way to subsequently remove a number from your account? Mine now has so many numbers it's getting a bit unwieldy!

    Thanks
