£10 300 texts 300 minutes

[hutchy1986]

found what i'm looking for
few questions about this before switch over from orange.


Pay Monthly - Viewing Bites is free the duration of your contract. Things like WAP chat and downloads costs extra.

is this the case with the £10 sim only too? browsing is free(football scores for example)?


2. Carry over: If your Bundle is renewed on, or changed to a different Bundle (any type, any size) by, its renewal date, any unused allowance in your existing Bundle will carry over to the next month (but not any month after that). If you do not renew or change to a different Bundle by its renewal date you will not be able to use any unused allowance.

does that means only the first month your unused allowance is carried over or does it simply mean there will only be a maximum of 600 minutes and 600 texts at any time. so say i don't use my phone for 3 months the maximum will be 600 texts etc instead of 900?

thanks for any help

1. nope its not free, because i've been on a few times and been charged. The £10 offer is pay monthly and not a contract. In the terms and conditions it says its just a 1month min. contract on the offer and then you leave as you wish


2. yep, 600mins and texts is the max you can have in any 1 month

i know i'm being a pain with all these questions but here is another couple-

do virgin actually offer a live football score service like the network '3'? i just put a pay&go sim in my phone and can't find anything that suggests live score service is offered.

also it says on the website it costs only 30p for a days use no matter how long your on it. does this apply to the sim only deal or will it cost more than 30p per day?

thanks for all your help

i tried signing up to this deal last night and got an instant email from them telling me i was unsuccessful due to credit or something?

i have never been on any sort of phone contract before or had credit cards etc. so not sure how i can have bad credit. they told me to pay 10 pounds to get a credit report online or send for one.

tried it twice now and got the unsuccessful email. don't know what this credit thing is about as my dad just ordered one with his details and everything went through fine.

[hutchy1986]

just got an email from virgin telling me account is setup and giving me my number.

when i login i see this-

Here's your balance
Remaining balance: £5.00

i ordered a sim only pay monthly and gave them my direct debit details but when u login theres option to add your direct debit details and it also doesn't say anything about the 300 minutes and 300 texts so what is this 5 pounds credit for? is that just a welcome bonus?

[TheOne]

yeah, dont worry about the £5.00 i had that when i started up

Hi
Equifax hold details of credit ratings based on your history and gives out a credit score.
Your problem may just that they do not hold any data about you as you never had cards etc.
You are then given a low score as no data held to compile credit score.
Hope this helps..

[hutchy1986]

well as my dads was successful i will just use that sim thats coming and pay him the 10 quid a month as his phone isn't unlocked anyway. will save alot of hassle with writing to them or getting these credit reports which i don't even need.

found this website so i don't think it costs to call internationaly as it uses your inclusive minutes. so i doubt i will be texting if this calling method works out.

Does the £10 300+300 bundle include picture messaging (e.g. 1 picture message equals 3 text messages)?

Cheers
