Virgin Mobile - now doing 300 mins & 300 text for £15 per month

I've been with Virgin a while on their Sim Only deal - 200 text & 200 mins for £15 per month and they have just increased it to 300 of each for the same cost!

There's no contract or anything either:

I had to ring and get mine swapped over as they don't move you onto this automatically.

    If you have any other Virgin Media service (I just have broadband) you get it for £10 a month, but they have stopped rolling over the minutes now.

    Sprogs, r u sure??? I am still using rollover minutes from last month...I don't believe this...this was the best deal for those of us who use the mobile for making general calls in the month without getting ripped off on PAYG!! Argh!!

    My refresh day is in a few days time and I know I have tonnes of texts left over so I'll double check if they have rolled over. Not happy.

    The offer has changed now. You now get 200 mins and 200 texts for £10 per month rather than the 300 before. Or you can get 400 mins and 400 texts for £15 per month.

    My £10 refresh day was 18th, the text says they've given me 300 mins meaning no rollover (I had about 100 mins unused), plus 544 texts, meaning they've rolled the unused ones over! :confused:

    I'll look forward to June with interest to see what they do then :rolleyes:

    This offer has been running now for over a month, so they haven't 'just increased it'.

    i got the 300 txt 300 min PLUS a phone off virgin for £10 a month last week and i ported old number across and it went over within 24 hours with no problems.
    I was able to use the sim including the mins and txts whilst my number came across
    the phone was a black nokia 6300

    my son has had the 100 txt and 100 min deal since november and to be honest he doesnt use it all up but it is still carried over for the next month.

    Then why not share it with us a month ago if you knew that??

    I could have transferred earlier then......;)

    If you look on the 'mobile phones' board then you find out about stuff like this straight away... it is not a grabbit/limited time offer.

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=14

    Grabbit is not the only forum area on MSE, although it would appear many think it is by posting all sorts of nonsense in here (not targetting the OP with that remark). Do have a look - you never know what else you might find!
    The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster! :)
