Virgin Mobile Pay As You Go Upgrade

Just thought I'd post this advice to anyone who wasn't aware of the Virgin Mobile upgrade reward scheme.

If you are a Virgin mobile pay as you go user and want to upgrade your phone make sure you do it through their website.

I thought it was about time to upgrade my phone and after logging in to my account on their website realised I was eligible for a £30 discount on any phone that I bought from them (this varies on the amount you have used your phone in the past). Go into the rewards to check how much you have earned. They give you £10 off for every £100 you have spent on calls and texts going back to 2004 I think.

So I have just bought the Sony Ericcson K700i for £20. The price of it is £69.99 (without a sim card) I think this might also include £10 off for ordering from the internet. I then got my £30 reward off and they also throw in £20 airtime so it works out that I paid £20 for the phone.

Hope this helps someone.
