the only odd thing was it would see my wifi at home until I put a sim card in it.

They need to tidy up the pages a bit, but even looking at it its pretty simple imo.

If you don't have the unltd web then its 30p per day for up to 25MB.

If you have unltd web ignore the 30p a day messages.

Re: Virgin launch a range of Android handsets

That makes more sense
I was wondering the same thing http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/93...-internet.html maybe my other thread should be deleted or merged

please click this link http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/viewP...1-50C976E6860E . This is the link that was given earlier. In this link you will find the information to which I have reffered to.

When you click the link and look at the information you will see 2 lots of tarrifs offered in the link information. One for 24 months and one for 18 months. All tarrifs mention in the link come with Unlimited Net

When you click the link you do not find from that link any information at all about lower costing tarrifs. This phone may well be available on other tarrifs but there is no information of these tarrifs as far as I can see when you follow the link

So and I will try to make this as simple to understand as possible . When you click that link you find to lists of tarrifs both lists of tarrifs show all have unlimited net. You also have listed in this information the 30p deal per day for net.

Now if there are other tarrifs not shown on the site where the 30p per day internet charge applies then that still proves my point about Virgin Media's inability to show clear pricing with their offers

Just to note did you click the link lol lol

Re: Virgin launch a range of Android handsets

Well I do not get charged for internet as I am on unlimited, but before I was on this contract it did cost 30p a day for internet access.

Absolutely nothing to do with Virginmedia by the way we have nothing to do with Virgin Mobile.

im going to cry in a minute lol

You posted a link to the HTC Desire everything I have said to do with pricing reffers to information provided in your link.

I do not give a flying hoo harr about 30p net on pay as you go as thats not what ive been talking about . I fully accept the existance of this 30p per day net charge but all the listed tarrifs for the HTC Desire say Unlimited Net. Now I also realise its subject to a FUP and if you go over said FUP I can understand you would get charged 30p per day. But what I am pointing out is it says Unlimited Net and it also says 30p Per day net charge the 2 things do not go hand in hand either its a Limited internet included package and any usage over the limit will cost 30p or its an Unlimited internet package.

I really really really wish did not treat me like a fool

I then clicked on the first £20 24 Tarrif and can you guess what comes next?yes no HTC desire

Do I need to goto the 18 month Tarrifs now or do you catch my drift?

Finally found one the 30p charge applies to the £20 18 month tarrif but they want £399 for the phone lol

What people were stating is that there are tariffs without unltd web included. It seems to appear on all phone pages even though some phones are only available on Tariffs with included web access due to the all ways on web that is needed ie the Desire.

Also I never insinuated you were thick in my earlier post.
