free virgin mobile
 

Hi just recived some mail from ntl/telewest says i can get a free virgin mobile 300 texts 300 minutes no contract for only £10 a month seems too good to be true what do you think ?

to get sorted call 0800 408 9342 quote FREE LOBSTER OFFER

i read the small print cant seeacatch so give it a try ;)

Re: free virgin mobile
 

There are quite a few threads on the forum about this offer, a lot of people have signed up for it and there is no catch it is a genuine offer :)

Re: free virgin mobile
 

yep, i signed up the day it launched, it is indeed a superb offer, the unused minutes and texts rollover for one month!

Re: free virgin mobile
 

And the fone is totally pants but would make a nice paperweight or toy for a 5 year old ;)

Re: free virgin mobile
 

Do you just get a sim card or do you actually get a free phone like a contract?

Re: free virgin mobile
 

you do get a phone if you use the offer code in the first post, but as has been said its not very good, if you want the sim only option then thats fine :)

Re: free virgin mobile
 

Or you get nothing at all like me :erm: But that is another story lol

Re: free virgin mobile
 

Whats another story jules? :)
Can you keep your existing number if you take up the offer? a sim that gives me them benefits for £10 month would do me dandy :)

Re: free virgin mobile
 

Yes you can keep your number as well.


They wont let me have one :no:

Re: free virgin mobile
 

yep, just call your existing provider and request a PAC (port authorisation code) so you can give this to virgin and you can then have your existing number on to the new sim card!


why not ? :confused:

Re: free virgin mobile
 

They said I failed the credit check

Having said that I am not bothered now as I have join Vodafone family which is a great offer :)

Re: free virgin mobile

Thanks kronas :)

Does anyone have a link to a picture of the phone you get?

Re: free virgin mobile
 

The deal is that for £5 a month I can list three mobile numbers that are also on Vodafone and all 4 of us can then ring each other any time day or night for free as long as the call does not last longer than a hour, so on ours there is me my partner and my son which leaves one number free if we want to add anyone.

For £7 a month you can have up to 6 people on the list, oh and by the way only one person pays the fee it is not per person :D

Re: free virgin mobile
 

unfortunatly they have run out of lobsters, i have an older model lobster and while its great for being tiny, the interface is crap

Re: free virgin mobile
 

I called having received the letter and was told they will now give you a Nokia 1112, which is very basic. I see they are offering the Motorola V7 to new NTL customers. Does anyone know if/when they will offer better than Nokia to get existing NTL customers to sign up to Virgin Mobile on the £10/month tariff?

Re: free virgin mobile
 

I was really considering going for this offer but unfortunately the virgin's signal is almost nonexistant in my area

Re: free virgin mobile
 

Strange - I'm in Peterborough, and currently have Orange network, and also have taken out the Virgin/NTL:Telewest offer, so I have the two phones on the go at the moment (pending a Port Code in case anyone wonders...).
I have absolutely no problems with the Virgin network in Peterborough area.
The only place I do find I have a problem is en route from London King's Cross to Peterborough - the signal is flaky just after Stevenage. Both Orange and Virgin have a signal loss just by Alconbury.

Although the contract is 12months, I believe I was told you could cancel after only three months. It's worth then trying it to see what the signal is in real life. It's certainly a good offer.

If you do take it out - check your account online that

1. Direct Debit has been set up correctly - I chased twice over this
2. The correct 300/300 tariff has been applied - they're prone to leaving it as the PAYG tariff for a start.

The Lobster 575 phone is a bit naff. I paid the £20 to have my Orange phone unlocked, and will simply change the SIM cards over when the Port code has been given and actioned.

Re: free virgin mobile
 

They just offered me a pebl in black for £29.99 extra one of payment.

Re: free virgin mobile
 

I've just ordered the virgin mobile phone. I ordered the PEBL in black.

£29.99 and the phone cuts to a payg phone if you go over the free allotment.

Gona port my girlfriends orange number onto it and then with my natter account I can call her cheap. :)

Hahahahaha I can't belive it, I've failed the credit check also.

Just spoke to Virgin about it, apparently I can pair it with my natter account to still get it, but apart from that I can go buy the phone for £129.99 I mean is it really worth it? It makes me laugh more considering I work for ntl:telewest. 8-)
