I'm not sure about this. I phoned to upgrade at the end of a two year contract last week and told them I'd be prepared to wait if there was anything other than the Galaxy s4 on the horizon. Got told there won't be as the iPhone is too expensive and they've had problems when previously stocking HTC phones.

Shame really, because they've lost me as a mobile customer solely because of their range - I have absolutely no other problems with them.

So with the launch of iphone 5s and 5c I take it there will still be no iphones on Virgin mobile?

Doubt it, maybe the 5c if apple approach virgin, but as it will be more expensive than the s4 why bother

I have heard strong rumours from other sources too, only phones though

Virgin have all the apps for iDevices but not android yet only sell the android phones. It makes sense for them to sell/push the product (iPhone) that enables customers to use their other services, some of which can bring them income, such as streaming movies/shows for non-xl customers.

It makes more sense them just pulling there finger out and develop an app, you could make a whole new operating system by the time virgin release an android app

Indeed. It has been a year since they launched TV anywhere but there is still only an app for the iPhone and not android as far as I know.

Virgin mobile have become more expensive and if you think youll het loyality discount from the prices you see on their website been a vmedia and vmobile think again.

been with them over six years with two contracts which expire jan 2014 they refuse to do any deal on s4 its just what it says on the website.

The deal they gave me as retention deal was 600 mins, 1gb data, unlimited texts fpr a s4 mini 25.00 quid.

but wait on the website its 1200 minutes so doing.me out of 600 minutes hence leaving and giving them 30 days notice in dec.....

Ive no issues with virgin media....virgin mobile though god knows whats happening theor attitude and the way they speak to you recently stinks....you only have to read their community forums in mobile section.

their even having issues with barred calls when phoning to the three network on certain numbers and still not fixed.

Luckly i bagged a nexus 5 16.99 per month new contract starts dec....

They are very much on the high side but iPhone contract prices are ridiculous across all networks

Would totally agree. All apple prices are ridiculous . However, these prices are silly. I pay £37/month and get 600 mins / 1GB Data and unlimited texts. So why would I accept considerably less than half the services and a new 2 year contract with VM.

My contract renews in April and I won't be moving to virgin at these prices. I won't be buying anything from Apple again but even VM's tariffs on other phones are not competitive except maybe at the bottom end of the non smartphone market.
