Virgin Play & Click mags

Hi, I've come across references every so often so these magazines that some Virgin subscribers seem to receive in the post. Can someone tell me what they are and how you receive them? I have subscribed to Virgin for 6 months and have never received any such thing.

I also wonder when they have a page in their website where you can register for news updates - to date, I have received nothing.

I'm not sure about the magazines you mention but you can sign up to get Virgin Media press releases here. I end up with at least one press release a week.

there not really magazines but more leaflets, they come with your bill (in the same letter) you get click if you have broadband and play if you have tv services. there simply adverts trying to get you to upgrade your service to the next teer up. If fact (assuming you dont havepaperless billing) you proberlly already receive thembut dont realise. As i said there more leaflets then magazines.

Thanks to both responses. I've signed up to the press email alerts, should provide some amusing reads.
Maybe I don't receive the leaflets because I switched to paperless billing. Still, I didn't receive them when I was on paper bills.

I get a separate magazine every month from VM called "electric magazine", haven't read the last couple as they tend to be about shallow celebrities (Kylie was on the front of the last one), motoring section, TV highlights, the music scene, service information and a pull-out channel guide, sort of thing you would get stuffed in a Sunday rag.

Oh and there is a letter included trying to get you to upgrade your services.

ELECTRIC magazine now seems to have been rolled out to all customers
However, if you actually read the bumf and cover page there is a link to give Virgin Media feedback

Makes good reading so far!

Thanks for that. The comments posted are indeed "interesting". If I ever receive a copy, it seems I will know how to react.

Rate Electric magazine

Average rating: 0.8 out of 10.

I think that speaks for itself?

I have never got a magazine, I will see if I get one with my next bill.

I don't think the 'electric' magazine is being sent out in all areas yet, I work as a postman and have been delivering them where I work but I haven't recieved one myself yet where I live a few miles away in a different postcode area
