Integrated Billing for Virgin Mobile & NTL Services?
 

Thinking of moving to Virgin Mobile after some shabby underhand treatment by Vodafone (if I can get out of my contract)...

Does anyone know if/when Virgin Mobile billing will be integrated with TV/Broadband/Landline bills?

TIA...

I think they are planning to integrate the bills.

I thought I'd read that they were going to integrate billing at some point. Admittedly, it didn't say when, but my impression was sooner rather than later...........

You have to admit the £10 per month for 300mins + 300 text messages is a good offer, separate bills or not!

You've got two choices:

1. Buy a new PAYG phone from Virgin Mobile - and get the account changed over to the 300+300 tariff. (Virgin Mobile Support are incredibly helpful)
2. Get your current phone unlocked. I did with my current Orange phone. I did it quite properly through Orange customer services, and it took about 3-4 weeks for the unlock code to come through. It cost £20, but was worthwhile. It's also possible to have the phone unlocked at some local stores, and it might be cheaper. The other question I have (perhaps someone might confirm), I have the feeling that Vodafone cellphones may not be locked to that particular provider, so you wouldn't need to unlock it?

Coverage by the way is provided on the T-Mobile network. There are a couple of places where I find signal strength not quite as strong as Orange, but it's not much of a problem. I do find that with the 300 minutes rolled forward (meaning I generally start the month with 600 minutes), that I use the cellphone much more.
