Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?

[howden]

I've already got the 3 for £30 (V+ etc) - is there any discount on the £8.50 pay monthly deal for VM customers ?

Thanks

Thats not right

If you buy £10 they add £10 = £20

If you buy £15 they "add double" £30 = £45

No there isn't. In fact the cheapest tariff is £12, albeit with 50% more minutes. I think there's a 'three months free' promotion on as well at the moment. I always found this anomaly a little odd, so much so that I just went for the £8.50 tariff completely separate to my VM account. Nice phone (Samsung G600) and the minutes are fine for my needs.

Also thier coverage is terrible my m8 just switched over to tesco mobile and his last phonecall to me was so pathetic he kept cutting out i told him to go and use a phone box .Yes the deal looks good but it is no use if you cant hear what is being said by the person ringing from tesco mobile btw i live in swansea

spose coverage varies on the network

Tesco use O2

Thanks Mickey - just that's exactly what I'm looking at (100 texts and 100 mins also suits my needs)

No free call time

If they had followed Tesco £15 + £30 free credit (to use how you want) i would've switched

Yeah Virgin looked at that, did a massive consultation with customers who said that they would prefer a text deal. Keep eyes open over next few months for other options on the addict tarrif, such as airtime

i'm looking to change back to Virgin - Tesco charge £zillion for data and Tesco/O2 dont support sms read receipts

i just need an excuse.
