Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Shame that all current 3G customers don't transfer over to 4G.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

All new Pay Monthly customers or existing customers taking out a new Pay Monthly phone deal will be 4G only.

All other existing Pay Monthly customers have options of getting 4G.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Called in to our local Virgin store in Hounslow today and opted for the £9 4G tarrrif and they gave me the new sim there and then. I was the first customer sign up for 4G.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Was originally on 3G and signed into the Virgin website. Got a 4G sim card coming in the post in the next few days. Was paying £13 per month and now opted to pay just a couple of quid more. Looking forward to experiencing 4G on Virgin.

The wife is on EE 4G so it'll be interesting to compare the two as we both use an iPhone.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

I managed to fill a dorm in at work so I can get 4G. Will take a while for sim to arrive

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Just noticed 08 numbers are no longer inclusive

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

I think 080 numbers are included.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Yeah 080 is free on all networks

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

my thoughts exactly, im out of contract soon might give them a call and see what they can do, of hold on to see if they offer a migration type offer

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

As I said above, all 3G Pay Monthly customer can move to 4G.

It's not going to be automatic as the tariffs are different and you physically neeed a new SIM.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Even non freestyle contracts?

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

For non-freestyle contracts the rules are that you can move to a tariff that was available for your handset at the time you took the contract out.

To move to a newer 3G tariff or now a 4G tariff, the option available is that once you're out of a minimum term you can renew to a new deal and get the new tariff.

If you're under a minimum term for a non-Freestyle contract you have to pay the remainder.

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

So is that why when i log into my Virgin mobile account and i see
Get 4G on your phone with a simple tariff change. It’s as easy as pie


and i click on the big red button next to it that says "check out 4g tariffs"

i get directed to the old 3g tariffs with no option to get 4g or even see the 4g tariffs ,am i missing something or is Virgin mobile broke again

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

Sim only deals very tempting as currently on EE - cheaper and 30 day contract.

However no tethering is annoying and EE provides up to 60 meg 4G and Europe data allowance.

Need to have a think about it!

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
 

I had to phone them up as the site was so full of 'oops something went wrong
' errors when I tried to use it.
