WiFi is always free, If you connect your phone to your home network via wifi then any data transfered does not count against your 1gb, If you connect to a open hot spot eg McDonalds then thats free wifi.

The only way wifi would cost is if you're using a hotel hotspot for example where you pay for access eg-£2 for 4 hours.

Or any of the so-called open wifis, such as The Cloud, etc.

Had planned to keep my Desire and downgrade to a SIM only tariff until after the Android 4.0 launch event but got impatient ;)

Ben,does this mean i could get a Galaxy S II for £22.99 a month even if i don't have a mobile with vm? but i am on VIP 100

Should be able to, yes.

If you did you'd also get the 3 month Spotify offer Virgin are now doing for Mobile customers

Called up to complain about getting charged for data, got a phone call back offering early upgrade. Got a galaxyns2 also. Idea was to sell it and use my 3GS or get an iphone4 but starting to get attached to it. All the apps I use are there, it's faster, thinner and has a better screen.

hope they have this deal or better in jan as theyve put it up to 31.99, sorry but out of my budget specially with 2 contracts at 22.50 already on 18 months.

I feel they put it up to include spotify which im.not intrested in at all, lets seem come 27th jan 2012

It's actually £27.99 with the same Media customer reduction

You can still get it on the £22.99 deal but there is a handset cost of £99.99

I have had my Samsung Galaxy for the past 6 weeks or so and love it BUT I am unable to receive or send MMS and Picture Messages.

Having reported this as a problem on the 31 October I am still waiting for the techies to get back to me. I have mailed them twice as a reminder and all I get it an auto generate e-mail saying that they may take up to 5 days to get back to me.

When I reported via the 789 help line the lady I spoke to was extremely helpful but even with all the suggestions she couldn't resolve it so asked me to stay on the line and wait for one of the techies to speak to me. 45 minutes later I gave up.

Very disappointed with this support. Up until now Virgin has been very good but since I had to pay to update my phone to the Galaxy, because my contract had another year to run, I am not happy that this phone cannot do what my old phone was able to do.

I am not sure if this is a problem with the phone or the mobile networrk. I do get texts telling me to go to the Virgin Mobile message site but that too is now down so still cannot access the picture or MMS messages.

An additional problem is that I have a specific notification sound set up for my texts and that doesn't work either. Now I think that is related to the phone.

WOW - within seconds of my posting the above I got a call from Virgin who immediately put me in contact with a techie and all is now sorted. In case anyone else has the same problem - check to see that your Package Data (Menu, Applications, Setting, Wireless and Network, Mobile Networks .

Thank you Virgin techies I am now a happy bunny
