Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / March 2008Changes to Virgin Mobile SIM-only 300/300
Just had a text message from Virgin which says: "From 28/04/08 mins and txts will not rollover. From 23/06/08 mobile internet in the UK will cost 0.2p/Kb, not 0.5p. See virginmobilepeople.com/300300 or call 789" The http://www.virginmobilepeople.com/300300 page talks about the tariff costing £10 but I presume this is aimed at those on the package who also have Virgin Media broadband/TV/phone lines at home because I've always paid £15 for this package. > Just had a text message from Virgin which says: > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > who also have Virgin Media broadband/TV/phone lines at home because > I've always paid £15 for this package. Yes - I have the £10 one which requires a min of one service from Virginmedia No text or notification about roll-over or anything else for that matter. Why don't you consider VM broadband and it will effectively be subsidised by £5 once you take into account the reduction in your 300/300 tariff! > Just had a text message from Virgin which says: > > "From 28/04/08 mins and txts will not rollover. From 23/06/08 mobile > internet in the UK will cost 0.2p/Kb, not 0.5p. See > virginmobilepeople.com/300300 or call 789" ...and I just received another! "We're sorry, we sent you a text recently by mistake. Your Virgin Mobile minutes and messages will still roll over every month, just like normal" http://virginmobilepeople.com/300300/ is unchanged, so perhaps this means that those paying £15pm without other Virgin services can rollover, and those paying £10pm *with* other services can't. >> Just had a text message from Virgin which says: >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >means that those paying £15pm without other Virgin services can >rollover, and those paying £10pm *with* other services can't. Another possibility is that existing customers like yourself will continue to get the rollover texts and minutes, while new customers won't.

Well, I am on the £10 deal and I didn't get a second text to say roll over would still be in place. They also stated that data, per kilobyte, is being reduced in price from 0.5p to 0.2p. That us still TWO THOUSAND POUNDS per GB!! When you consider that '3' let you have 2GB for £5 it is still not at all attractive. Effectively they are saying is that they want some more spend above the £10 level. It is not what I wanted. I was looking for some data to be included in the £10 in leiu of reduction in texts. Now they have effectively reduced the texts and minutes by banishing rollover but have not compensated with some data. There is nothing to stop them offering 1GB in with the £10 as an option against loss of some minutes or texts. Data is still way, way overpriced and I will just continue with using 'dial up' internet. --- Remove 'no_spam_' from email address. --- >They also stated that data, per kilobyte, is being reduced in price >from 0.5p to 0.2p.

When you say "... some data", what do you mean by "data"? Do you mean data and fax calls? I've never been sure if Virgin Mobile allows these. >>They also stated that data, per kilobyte, is being reduced in price >>from 0.5p to 0.2p. That us still TWO THOUSAND POUNDS per GB!!

I'm an existing customer and haven't received the 2nd text sadly. I don't have any other Virgin services though so maybe that's the reason. Still, can't complain at £10 a month for 300/300.. |
