    And the likelihood of them having that over 4 years later?

    Also regardless of the timescale - the likelihood of them having them if they would be to the benefit of the customer!

    Your minimum period is over, over that either party can give 30 days notice to terminate the contract

    A search of all notes/ calls under the GDPR regulations will discover what they have. I've had notification for Virgin Mobile contracts i have in 2005 as part of the GDPR recently.

    I agree it's fairly unlikely but if the evidence is there then some leverage for compensation or other deal is there.

    I moved 3 sims to virgin 4 months ago. Price is going up 50%.

    Bait and switch if ever there was one.

    I was on a different Virgin £5/month deal for a couple of years, but for the last 2 years the % increase was quite significant so I've just switched to 1p Mobile in the last few days - I'm not a heavy user, so it'll save me money. Switching wasn't as much of a hassle as I expected.
