Excellent Virgin Mobile PAYG Deals

IrishGypsy

Hi all, it's my first post here so be gentle!

Starting as of Monday 21st January I've been - very reliably - informed that Virgin Mobile will be selling Motorola W377 handsets, along with a PAYG sim-card for only £19.99! (Or £15 to existing Virgin Mobile customers), for a few days. It *might* still come with the free bluetooth headset (worth £25) that it currently comes with, but there's no guarantee with that one!

The W377 comes with bluetooth, VGA camera and an FM radio so at 20 quid is a pretty good deal! (Especially as it sells for £39.99 just now). :beer: As always, it's subject to change, but I reckon there shouldn't be a problem come Monday.

I was also told that Virgin Mobile have dropped the price of the Samsung C300 (which you can get in black or pink) today to only £14.99 or £10 to existing customers. This offer is meant to end on Sunday, so be quick! :P

Thanks for the heads-up on this offer, but as an existing Virgin customer it's still showing as being £14.99 in the 'My Account' section of the Virgin website. A quick telephone call to Virgin customer services (sales) to query this and they confirm the price of this handset is £14.99.

The normal price to new customers is £24.99, or £20.59 for a refurbished handset with SIM card.

Perhaps they've closed the offer prematurely or the bush telegraph isn't working correctly?

Shame really, because I really fancied getting a superb bargain here...

Well, the C300 used to have a £5 minimum top-up set-up before the price-drop, so it *might be the case* that the fiver top-up is still mandatory. I was told some of the shops have sold it to existing customers for just a tenner and without the top-up, so that's the best answer I can give as I no longer work there. Might be worthwhile calling up your nearest store tomorrow for clarification as they might be ok for doing it for a tenner for you.

is this in the virgin website itself?

The offer that ends tomorrow isn't on the website and I guess we need to wait until Monday to see if the other offer goes up there then.

Motorola W377 in silver or pink @ £9.99 if you have a registered phone. Not bad. Even better for those with any Red Rewards......

I ordered the Motorola W337 this morning at the price of £9.99, it is a web only deal, tried it on the telephone and they wanted £29.99.

you need to go into your account, then "get upgrade" then "buy a phone" it then takes you to this page showing the phones and prices;- https://www.virginmobile.com/vm/upgradePhones.do
