Well I think Virgin Mobile pay a fixed fee per month or per annum to T-Mobile for its GPRS service,so if they asked T-Mobile to increase bandwith i'm sure they will do for-at an extra cost of course.

So for example, if they increased the annual price to say £1 Million-not sure how much it really is but say £1 Million for example. if Virgin Mobile then charged like £1 per day or £3 for 5 days then that should be fine, because if 500,000 customers out of 3.5 Million customers are using GPRS everyday,then this should cover the cost and in fact go further than a break even.

For this to work, it needs to be well marketed to customers, a good way is to send a text to all Virgin Mobile customers and to customers who have ported out from Virgin Mobile to another network at attempt to bring them back onto Virgin. Another good way is to inform customers when they call 789 straight after there balances have been read out.

Its possible,but Virgin wont do this as they probably make enough money at the moment with its current rates.

However, if you call 22524 or 22525 one of them anyway, it states that they are lowering the cost by 60% around 20th June 2008! So yeah, it looks like they are making attempt at offering cheap mobile internet.
