Has anyone been able to secure Volt benefits (2X mobile data and more countries for roaming) on a SIM procured via Uswitch?  Would be in same name as existing Virgin Media customer.

    I did in same manner but had to create a new account with a different email address. I then gave Virgin my o2 numbers and they have applied the volt benefits but I have to log into o2 and Virgin separately as I can’t use the same email address for both, doesn’t seem to be causing issues though

    Sounds good.  I already have an O2+Volt SIM, this would be for another family member.  Thanks for the tip about using a different e-mail.

    We have the family discount applied too as me and the 3 kids are all on O2 so we get double data and % off for multiple lines (can't remember how much) - and pay no more than £10 a month each for at least 50k data (the recent price rise hit hard but 2 of the kids are away at uni and say they use the priority perks loads so happy to keep on with it for now)
