Both my wife & I have 300\300 with VM.

What I was wondering was, what do VM charge for data usage?
Its something that wasn't asked by us when we changed to VM from O2.


Cheers

Its £2 per MB.

And they don't offer any data bundles.

£2 per MB on contract

And a whopping £5 per MB on PAYG (at 0.5p per K).

Pretty much every other provider has better data rates than Virgin, even for ad-hoc PAYG usage.

If Virgin haven't sorted some better data rates out when my contact ends in December I'm jumping ship.

I'm going to try and use that for some leverage when renewing myself.

I myself was very happy with virgin mobile customer service was great,but their data services were very patchy where i live,so have just left for three their data service is great for me, and i have also added unlimited data service on my mobile for an extra £5 per month for the internet.

The signal also works very well and is not patchy on voice calls as was vm,People i know on t-mobile have the same problems in our area, which is not surprising as vm piggy back off of t- mobile.
