Re: Free 4G is BB goes down
BT already does something like this. They send out a 4G modem/wireless router which remains active until your fixed line broadband is fixed. Once you have got a device they tell you to keep it in a cupboard in case it’s required again. Sounds quite a bit better than what VM’s proposing TBH.

Not much use if you dont have a smart phone.
TBH, not much use if you do, unless you can use your phone as a modem. Oh, and title fixed, pretty sure you mean "if", not "is". |
Re: Free 4G if BB goes down
Half-arsed compared to BT's offer.
You can't use this if you don't have a Virgin Mobile SIM. You can't use this if you don't have a smartphone. You can't let other users in your house use this if you want to go out and take your phone with you. |

The majority of smart phones can create a "wireless tether", basically a portable hotspot other devices can connect to that piggyback off of the phone's data. Yeah it's limited, but if your net goes down you'll be reliant on mobile data regardless of how practical it is. May as well be able to use as much of it as you need. |
Re: Free 4G if BB goes down
I'm lucky with my contract with 3 as I pay £30 a month for 100GB internet with 30GB of that which can be used as tethering.

But some people may want something other than a value or price-driven mobile setup. |

If it is only available to Oomph customers, then that's even worse. Quote:

Re: Free 4G if BB goes down
Ben can I ask a quick question as I've heard different things about this.
We have the VIP bundle and just upgraded to the Ultimate oomph bundle. We also have a VM PAYG sim. We are wanting to keep the number from the PAYG sim for the unlimited sim from the oomph bundle. As I understand, you can't use pac codes from the same supplier, but is it possible to still transfer the number so we can have the number from the PAYG used as the unlimited sim number? |
Re: Free 4G if BB goes down
If the SIM has already been ordered then not without cancelling that and starting again.
However in general it should be possible to upgrade a PAYG number to the Oomph airtime plans instead of sending a new SIM out - subject to appropriate credit checks. |
