Virgin Media Big Kahuna + SIM
I did have the Big Kahuna package from Virgin media which allowed me to have a SIM only option for £5/£8 per month which offered unlimited mins and texts, with 250mb/1gb data.
It did mention this SIM offer was only available whilst I had the package, but can't remember what was said would happen to the tariff if no longer on the Big Kahuna package.
I have dropped the TV service completely as kids use Xbox and Playstation, I'm happy with Netflix etc.
Just wondering if anyone knows which tariff I would get kicked on to as when I called to reduce cable service, they didn't know.

Currently getting unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 1gb data for £8, if get similar when my service drops the TV package, might be worth staying for mobile. Though have been looking round.0 -

If Virgin Mobile is out the question, will definitely think about these, as my daughter is with them, owned now by EE too an she has no issues, via uSwitch for a discount too.
Thanks.0 -
I dont think it will make a difference. We just have VM BB and phone line and have 2 Sims... unlimited texts and calls plus 500mb data £5 a month and 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 2gb data for £6 a month. You actually don't need any package with VM to get the £5 discount now.0

That package is available for £5.95 https://lifemobile.co.uk/Basket/SimChoice/100
or just select any package then change the number in the web address to 100.
iD also have 1GB available for £5 if your happy with 250 mins and 3 coverage.
Back to the topic, Virgin media have never striked me as the most technically savvy bunch.
I doubt their systems are actually linked that well.Then (EE network)
