The future of virgin mobile...
Hey all,
So i'm seeing a lot of offers now and "rewards" for people who have both virgin media and o2 mobile. Yet nothing is mentioned about people who have virgin mobile. What do we think the reason is behind this? Will virgin mobile customers be moved to o2 eventually? Will virgin mobile sell to another company and just take on o2? (just throwing ideas here). I'm new to virgin mobile and i'm sort of surprised how detached it seems from virgin media itself like they're almost two different companies. So i'm intrigued as to what the future is now virgin media/o2 are starting to combine their services where does this leave virgin mobile? |

Its Virgin, so not a great suprise they dont reward their existing customers.
It seems to me they will abandon it - first stop taking new customers, then eventually move the others, if they havent alreay gone elsewhere themselves. |
Re: The future of virgin mobile...
Didn’t Virgin Mobile sign a deal with Vodafone a few months before the merger with O2?
Presumably something will be done when the Vodafone contract ends. In the meantime heaven knows what they will do, depends if they see any value in Virgin Mobile or not.. |

With PAYG Virgin Mobile closing in January maybe we'll hear something about virgin mobile contracts merging into o2 soon?

You are indeed correct VM did sign a five year deal with Vodafone in 2019. With services moving over to the Vodafone RAN in 2021. I don't know if the 5years runs from 2019 or 2021. At the moment both Virgin and O2 are keeping their identities in the merger, so it is possible for Virgin Mobile to continue as a brand and move back on to the O2 RAN in 5 years. Though I wouldn't expect that to happen, I believe in the intervening years, or at the end of the five, the company will rebrand again and lose the dual identity. A which point all Mobile customers will be moved onto the same platform. |

Standing under a mast is the worst place to be.
The signal is designed to spread outwards, not downwards. |

I'm off to 02 from Virgin for cheaper monthly charge with more data and a free broadband speed increase to the next tier.
