Hi!
I had a call from Virgin Mobile the other day saying because I was a valued customer I was entitled to deal where I could get a new phone and 100 txt and 100 mins for £8.50 a month. Thing is at no time in our 6-7 min converstation did he mention it tied me to a 18 month contract. I realised there must be a catch, nobody just gives away a phone like that, but even still I feel he must be obliged to inform me by law?. What got me was he even suggested a phone to pick, so I didn't have to go to the website and see I was tying myself in I guess. In the end said I wanted time to think about it, and he is due to ring me back. Am I right to feel slightly missled here?
