Virgin Mobile SIM only: Any comments?

rhyds · 30-08-2014, 21:04

My Orange contract is coming up to its end in the next few weeks, and I'm thinking of porting over to Virgin Mobile on a SIM only contract.

Are customer services pretty good?

Also, does Virgin Mobile use EE for their network?

Yes and yes

Thanks. The 30 day SIM is damned good value it must be said

nothing to loose, after 30 days if your not happy then move along to another network.

Well I've decided to go for the £10 a month package for my galaxy S3.

I'll be calling up orange tomorrow (contract end date) to request my PAC...

As I read it, the £10 monthly sub gets you 250 mins, unlim text, 1GB

At GiffGaff, the £10 goodybag gives 500 mins, unlim texts, 1GB - and the freedom of pay as you go - the out of tariff rates on most contracts absolutely STINK!

Carphonewarehouse also have a couple of pretty good 12 month with chequeback deals for Orange or T-mob - if you want the EE network.

Giffgaff is no use to me as O2 has no 3G around here at all, and while the chequeback offers for EE/Orange/T-mobile do look good, I'm not up for a 12 month contract.

This is a stop-gap until I can decide which phone/contract to take for the future.

According to http://mobilenetworkcomparison.org.uk/compare/
This is an EE based operator

And their £10 bundle is:
600 mins /2GB - or
500 mins / unlim texts / 2GB
