Yeah, I can see your point, but as my VMed bills are always £60+ each month and I have a V+ box as well, yet my VMob bill will be less than £20 (I rarely use it for anything other than texting, and ordering cabs & using the internet while out, and those come included in the tariff free!), they would lose much more if I had ever defaulted on the VMed side than on the VMob! Co-incidentally, I have also just applied for (and received) my first and only credit card since paying off all the debts, so maybe that had more to do with it than any change in Virgin policy?

Whatever the reason, I'm just glad to have the 'phone as I was lost without mine for three days (I also use it to let me know when to take my meds and when my hospital and docs appointments are, as well as it being my music player) and couldn't have afforded to buy such a good one outright, let alone get it in two days as I am disabled and not always able to leave the house on bad days, so I'm not complaining really!
