    Fancy some free bonus minutes, just for using your phone?
    With Virgin Mobile, you can get free minutes every day to any UK network, anytime.
    • After the first 5 minutes of standard UK calls (thats calls to other Virgin Mobiles, UK networks or UK landlines), well give you the next 5 free.
    • And theres no minimum top up either.
    And a whole lot more soon !

    From the 28th of January, get paid as you go gets even better.
    As well as earning free minutes every day, you can pick up free texts daily, too.
    • Send 5 texts to any UK mobile or landline and well give you the next 5 free.
    • Plus, were making call costs even simpler and greater value. From 28th of January, youll pay one simple rate of 15p a minute for calls to any UK landline or mobile.
    • The minimum call charge is changing too. From 11th February, it becomes 15p.
    • And, like always, its free to call your voicemail in the UK.
    All you have to do is let us know youd like them by registering in Your Account and clicking on Bonus minutes
    When you Pay As You Go, you also get:
    • 3p texts to any UK network
    • Free voicemail in the UK
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
    (OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)

    Cheaper than 35p / min the previous xnet rates.

    Plus if you work in the 5 mins 'free' for each paid for 5 mins, as long as you use all your free mins then it works out at 7.5p/min.

    Plus 3p texts and get 5 'free' when you send 5, so if you send 10 that's 1.5p/text.

    Orange PAYG is 15p/min + 10p texts.
    O2 PAYG is 25p/min for 1st 3 mins then 5p/min for calls to other o2 and landlines - 40p/min other mobiles - 1p/text.
    Vodafone PAYG is 30p/min for 1st 3 mins then 10p/min - texts 10p.
    or 30p daytime - 10p evening (19:30 - 07:30).
    T-Mobile PAYG is 15p/min - 10p texts
    or 8p/min to other T-mob and 40p/min others and 5p/text to T-mob and 10p/text to other
    or 20p/min to T-Mob and 40p/min to others & 3p/text.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
