Re: Virgin Mobile min/texts 300/300 no rollover from 28 april 08

Regardless of the spin VM are putting on it, it seems obviously to me that they stand to make more money by not rolling over unused minutes; main reason being there is no buffer before you get charged at standard rates.

As cheapskates like me will always try to use every last minute of that 300 so as not to lose them, there is a real danger of having to pay for a few mins over at the std rate - and VM knows this means more cash for them (why else would all teh mobile ops be against rollovers?).

Anyway, my rollover is date is tomorrow and rather than handback my unused 240 minutes I have left my phone with an open call to my wife's Orange mobile.

And I'll be making sure I never go over the 300mins - £10 pm is all VM are ever going to get from me.

ps I got the text (4 april) and an email (12 april) but I never got that letter, and nothing was mentioned on my bill (8 april)!
