Well, they should have them at the price I put up. I got the official price list given to me, so perhaps the people in that branch were being a bit lazy? (Or perhaps they had none left in stock and never changed the prices?). But I can assure you that I'm not going to spend all that time writing up the prices for nothing! Call around a couple of other stores for reference (e.g. Dundee, Glasgow, Hull, Newcastle etc) and confirmation.

@Nick: I have no idea about online I'm afraid, as the prices I was handed were e-mailed from Virgin's Head Office to the stores. I don't see why they should be any different, but again, they've been known to do things differently to the stores.

Thanks to IrishGypsy to post the offer.

Has anyone got any phone from virgin at the above prices???. I would like to get a w850i.

I just went into Virgin in Reading and the Nokia 1112 was priced at £11.24 . The guy also seemed unaware of any option to sell the phone without a sim :rolleyes: !

I went to Zavvi in Birmingham yesterday and they were unaware of this offer.

I phoned a few shops in Scotland today. None of them had any SE K800i's left in stock but one of them did confirm the £59.99 (£55) price.
I think I might wait to see if any appear.

My next best option is getting one from T-mobile (£75 I think) and hoping my Virgin sim card works with it. Does anyone know if this will work?

Yes a Virgin sim will work in a T-Mobile phone but apparently not the other way round.

Unfortunately, all I can do is simply pass on the offers that I was handed. They're certainly real, and I have no idea as to why some of the stores couldn't be bothered to put on the correct promotions.

Sorry to anyone who's gone into a store that hasn't changed their prices!

At about 4pm on Saturday afternoon I bought a Nokia 1112 for £7.49 at Zavvi Portsmouth.

Thanks OP for the information.
