You need to go here: http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/home.do Your Virgin cable services are separate to mobile plans, although you can get sims in a bundle i believe.

Here's the special tariffs for Virgin Media customers: http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html.../existing.html

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

Virgin Mobile Daily Bonus Tariff:

Calls to UK landlines: 15p per minute
Calls to UK Mobile Networks: 15p per minute
Calls to UK Virgin Mobile phones: 15p per minute
Calls to 084,0870 and 0871 numbers: 15p per minute
Texts to another Virgin Mobile: 5p
Texts to another Network: 10p
VoiceMail: Free
Call Waiting: Yes!
Call Hold Yes!
Customer care: 10p per call
Mobile Internet on your phone: 30p per day
Free minutes: 5 minutes everyday
Free texts: 5 free texts everyday

Compare that with.....

Orange Racoon Pay as You go:

Calls to UK landlines: 15p per minute
Calls to UK Mobiles: 15p per minute
Calls to Orange UK mobiles: 15p per minute
Texts to all networks: 10p per message
Calls to 084 and 0870 numbers: 25p per minute
Calls to 0871 numbers: 35p per minute
Answerphone: 10p per minute
Mobile internet on your phone: £2 per day cap
Customer care: 25p per call
Free texts: No!
Free Minutes: No!
Call Waiting: Yes

If you are on Dolphin,Camel or Canary then UK inland calls cost 20p per minute with a minimum charge of one whole minute.

So Virgin Mobile is definately cheaper than Orange pay as you go for making phone calls.

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

Arr thats why i never seen any phones on offer... Do they have the HTC HD as one for offer???

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

no, only basic phones or some middle class ones for the £20 option.

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

I get 300 texts and calls are 15p/min to all networks for £10/month payg Im on orange, but you have got to remember virgin mobile (t-mobile) have alot less coverage. its not about how much it costs but also about how reliable the network is, i was with t-mobile for 18 months and around Lancashire there signal is very poor!

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

yeah I was in Cheadle cheshire recently (reasonably densely populated area) with someone who had a T mobile phone and she had NO SIGNAL - what a joke - my orange phone never has no signal except when I go out way into the countryside.

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

Yeah you always know when someone rings you from a t-mobile mobile, it sounds crap and breaks up all the time :D

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

tesco payg offer better value for money if u put £10 they will add double so u get £30 of credit.

Re: Im on orange PAYG - what can Virgin offer me?
 

I think you have to spend that within a certain time.
even at 10p a minute calls it works out at 300 mins.
