    I only wanted one but have had more than 2 in the preceeding 12 months.

    I guess it's about 5 or 6 so if you haven't done that it should let you!!

    Does the sim card come pre-registered? I'm really only interested in the phone and plan to sell the voucher + the sim. Are the sims different from the free ones that virgin give away from time to time?

    Thanks

    How much does this work out at if no rpoints please?

    Yes
    £1.99 for phone with sim - after subtracting airtime (please refer to original post). Rpoints would take it down by a further 4% of the £26.99 purchase price (-£1.08) so the handset & sim on their own would effectively then only cost you 91p if you intend to use it on Virgin Mobile anyway.

    Sorry but I think you have misunderstood the post. It will cost you £26.99 to place an order but with the phone you will receive £25.00 worth of calling credit, £5 preloaded onto your Sim card and an airtime voucher for £20 to use at your leisure.

    I'm sorry if this was not clear from my original post. It is still a fabulous deal and will save you from having to top-up for quite some time I imagine.
