Re NOT having a mobile:

I could copy and paste dozens of reasons do do with health and wellbeing, however three very important ones - 
Capital cost
Ease of use
Screen size

Most important I DON'T NEED one.  I can do all of the same things that are necessary on my landline, laptop and pc. and even more important avoid all the scams, mobiles are the easiest devices to hack.

Exactly, you can do all that you need to do without a mobile phone.

No-one NEEDS a Virgin Money current account, Virgin Money don't want your business, everyone's happy.

You are completely wrong. Your Laptop or PC would be easier to hack than a mobile phone.

More importantly, if you were out and needed to contact someone in an emergency and there was no one around, how would you do that.

Screen size isn’t an issue as you can remote control them from your PC and have SMS notifications and messages sent directly to your PC. On my Mac with my iPhone I can answer calls and use the phone’s keypad on the Mac to enter the numbers Lloyds and others ask for when e.g., setting up a new payee.

 New, basic ones cost bobbins. You might know someone who can give you their old one.

I have registered a complaint, enquiry really, as to why @VirginMoney require a mobile to open a current account?

Why they appear to be turning down £10s of millions from people who want to invest with them who don't have a mobile?

Regular Saver Exclusive

Save up to £250 a month for 12 months and get a fixed rate of 10.38% AER¹ (10.00% Gross²). Ker-ching! Conditions apply.  This account requires a current account with @Virgin but is not available unless a current account is opened.

@MSE should make this clear...

I think your previous threads highlight the click bait purpose of this post.

Diogenes carried a bowl with him for years, but one day saw a man drinking from his cupped palm and declared, ‘I have been a fool, burdened all these years by the weight of a bowl when a perfectly good vessel lay at the end of my wrist.

I say we should all live like Diogenes did - in a barrel.

TSB Monthly Saver

I sent a partial payment to my account yesterday, with the intention of paying a smaller one towards the end of the month.  However I double checked the Key Features and it mentions you're only allowed to make a single payment per month.  Just checking if anyone else has experience of making multiple payments to this particular product in the same month, or do they return any subsequent payments if you've already made a partial one?

Indeed. You can even put a SIM into a tablet if you wish. There is no need to have a mobile phone, the requirement is just to have an active SIM with associated number to receive SMS.

I made faster payments of £50 and £200  to mine on the first of August, and they are still there. I've had regular savers with lots of different providers over the years and I've never come across the restriction that you state. However, I opened my TSB monthly saver with the terms that were in place on the 29th of February.

More worrying is that my OH got told the monthly s.os were returned due to 'system issues' and invited to send them again

Same response here

"It has come to our attention that there was a technical issue with the system and sincerely apologise for this and any inconvenience this may have caused."
