Changes to original Virgin PAYG
 

Texted to VM phones, but in case you missed it:

So, the 5 minute loading rate goes up from 15p to 20p, but subsequent VM to VM minutes are free.

Just looked at the current "Addict" tariff, looks pretty lousy unless you text and web access more than you call.

I guess I'll hang on to PAYG original, but if I want to upgrade my phone later, I'll probably be changing networks, maybe free skype to skype with 3, as well as a period of free 3 to 3 with any topup.

VM have lost the plot with Addict!

This tariff also now charges for voicemail pickup, which the original PAYG does not.

Can we stay on the orginal tariff rather than using this overpriced one?

Looking briefly at the competition - it's inline or better than those.
Orange and Vodafone charge 20p per min for calls plus 10p per text.
Whats more - internet browsing on Orange is capped at £2 per day, whilst Vodafone said £1, but then I read 50p - compares with 30p at Virgin Mobile.

Does this change also apply to the original PAYG Direct Debit tariff?

If you mean the Liberty SIM - or similar, then I don't believe so:

No, I meant the original PAYG tariff where you pay for your calls by Direct Debit at the end of each month after receiving a bill (with no line rental).

I had switched my one phone and families phones to Lyca, now switched to GiffGaff.

VirginMobile have lost the plot with their PAYG service, but then VirginMedia did say they'd do to the mobile side what they did to the landline side 7+ years ago, make it a rip-off.
