Comments

You are wrong, go look on the virginmobile site and stop arguing with people who know what they are talking about
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I did go on the site and it does say they charge
http://store.virginmedia.com/discover/mobile/using-your-mobile/abroad.html
What you pay for:
You’ll pay to receive calls, as well as make them.
Friends in the UK will pay the standard UK rate to call you.It's not just about the money0 -

Give up, look properly for the country you are going to, not just a generic search :eek:ANURADHA KOIRALA ??? go on throw it in google.0 -
As I told you once,:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I can add that typically you keep using it when you run out of arguments - that happens pretty often....
If you find this funny, you have some problems with your SOH. I did notice that you keep overusing the ROFL smiley.
To show that your supposedly general statement "You should be paying for receiving calls whilst roaming abroad" was untrue.Sainsbury's and Three do charge for Turkey so what's the point of quoting them.
IMO, Sainsbury's Mobile is sort of a benchmark for low roaming charges. If they charge 7p, it's very unlikely (yet not impossible) that some other network charges 0p.What's the point in quoting Sainsbury's alone ?
And I can only repeat that I said this to "confirm that most likely you were right", so we have nothing to argue about here.
It isn't, but EU hasn't stopped being 'abroad' yet.Since when did Turkey become part of the EU?

Does this mean that they should be charging in EU then?I did go on the site and it does say they charge

You have a lot of these :rotfl: in your post.
I think everyone else is :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: at you.

And as I've told you before when I use them it's to show that I find it funny and that I'm laughing at your post.As I told you once,
I can add that typically you keep using it when you run out of arguments - that happens pretty often.
And as I pointed out the website also says you should be paying.To show that your supposedly general statement "You should be paying for receiving calls whilst roaming abroad" was untrue.
Fair enough, however it seems it is correct even though I thought it wasn'tIMO, Sainsbury's Mobile is sort of a benchmark for low roaming charges. If they charge 7p, it's very unlikely (yet not impossible) that some other network charges 0p.
And I can only repeat that I said this to "confirm that most likely you were right", so we have nothing to argue about here.
It doesn't itemise on that page.Does this mean that they should be charging in EU then?It's not just about the money0 -
I put the :rotfl:in a post when I find something funny as I do in your post just now !!You have a lot of these :rotfl: in your post.
I think everyone else is :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: at you.
Great work ....however it is just a repeat of the cut and paste that we have already discussed in post #3 !!!
Try reading the thread instead of jumping in at the end :rotfl:It's not just about the money0 -
To solve the issue and enable the OP enforce his ability to claim the charges back .............
It seems charges for receiving calls in Turkey (and Switzerland)was scrapped by Virgin this time last year.

So it seems for those travelling to Turkey, Virgin is a winner for receiving calls and deserves promoting to those travelling there.Outside the EU
From 18th August 2014 the cost of using your phone in some non-EU countries is also changing. If you are travelling outside the EU, check out the new charges in the table below.
Region 5
Switzerland, Turkey
Calls 75p
Receiving Free
Texts 25p
Data 50p/MB
Pity all the others outside the EU are charged still at £1 per min thoughIt's not just about the money0 -

That makes you an even bigger idiot for posting what you did then. You had been shown the correct figures, disputed them, and now are trying to use them to advance the crap you've written.
Do you often browse the internet whilst under the influence?====0 -

We hadn't been shown the correct figures we were using the interactive drop down price check for Turkey which showed £0 ....being as the OP had been cut off for being charged for incoming calls it was easy enough to assume a glitch
The site may have been a glitch on Turkey prices showing £0, added to the fact almost every other country outside the EU was charged it seemed to me there should have been a charge .....turns out Turkey and Switzerland are now exempt and have been for a while.
The OP now has the page, that doesn't rely on interaction and will be able to contest the charges.
As for your insults about crap try keeping them to yourself instead of making a fool of yourself
It's not just about the money0
