 ... networks etc. are still reasonably priced. Text messages are 10p, but 3p to other Virgin customers - so you'd benefit by getting your friends and family to switch to Virgin! Voicemail message retrieval is free - so many providers have the cheek to charge - and calls to the customer service line are charged at a flat rate so you don't have to worry about holding or having a long query. You can pay by voucher, credit or debit card, or direct debit. Overall - excellent. Customer service: Thankfully, Virgin have...more

Having handed back in my company mobile on leaving my last job getting hold of a reasonably cheap mobile phone for taking calls (job agencies/contracts etc.) was invaluable. "Pay & go" was the optimum choice as whilst waiting for the next jb to come along I didn't want to keep forking out cash just for line charges, plus most of the calls would be inbound to the phone. Having spent some time scouring the magazines, I cam to the conclusion that Virgin offered me the best deal as a provider - 15p/minute for the first five minutes in any day and then 5p/minute after that (regardless of the time). This was good rather than paying anything up to ...  Read the complete review

I have just purchased this mobile phone from virgin. It is an Alcatel Max DB. I had been looking around for a pay as you go phone at a reasonable price with a good tariff, I don't think I could have found a better offer than this. The phone cost £39.99 including a £5 voucher, I also got another £20 worth of calls free, Which works out I only paid £15 for the phone. This offer is only in Virgin record stores, I'm not sure how long this offer is going on for. The tariff for this pay as you go phone is excellent, 15p for the first five minutes then 5p a minute. Text messages cost 10p per message. There's also a great option on this phone ...  Read the complete review

I suppose it depends on which one you pick- you pay more and you get a more happening phone, my phone stopped happening some time ago !, but for cost, usability and reliability the little cheapo phillips savvy can't be beaten. Ok I am not a phone trendy, and sometimes when I see my friends with titchy models the green eye of jealously looms but if you just want a phone to use occasionally and don't want to be lumbered with high costs, I don't see any other contenders. I pay by direct debit- calls are 15p[ for first 5 minutes each day]- and 5 per minutes after that. It doesn't depends on what time of day it is,and better still you don't pay line ...  Read the complete review

After spending hours, weeks, days, looking round hundreds of different mobile phone stores, I eventually picked the one I liked, with the cheapest options. I go to the shop to buy it, and my credit check is declined. Joy. So I start all again, seriously stressed by the thought of having to pay hundreds of pounds for a pay as you go phone, and then the astronomical call charges that go with it. I ended up wondering into our price,looking at the Virgin Mobiles. They have a huge range of handsets on offer, ranging from cheap and cheerful, to sleek and sophisticated. I bought and alcatel max for £39.99 (unfortunately I don't ...  Read the complete review

I'd been travelling and hadn't taken a mobile phone, previously to that I was on a contract. Back to reality, I needed a mobile. I decided to go for Pay as You Go, and I knew which phone I wanted. My task was to try to search among the huge number of tarriffs, which just ended up making my head spin. Virgin Mobile were recommended to me by a friend. They are so much simpler. No fancy "bolt-on" things, no complicated peak or off-peak prices, just one tarriff. Here are my views: Call costs: 15p a minute for the first 5 minutes each day, then 5p a minute. This applies to other Virgin Mobiles and standard land lines, but calls to other ...  Read the complete review
