VM, need to be more flexible on their phone/tariff options.
I currently get 100mins, 250 texts & 500MB web for £10pm, and my wife gets 600mins, Unltd texts & 100MB web for £18.50 pm (we're both on O2), yet VM can't get close to those options.
That said, a friend of mine is perfectly happy with his Galaxy Ace for £7.99pm, I personally wanted something newer for starting a 2yr contract.

I got this for my dad:
http://www.talkmobile.co.uk/paymonth...aign=sams-gace
200 mins, 200 texts and 1gb internet for £12 per month with a free Samsung Galaxy Ace. (24 month contract). Talk mobile is owned by Carphonewarehouse and piggy backs on the Vodafone network.
Not a bad deal I think!
If you are after sim only, check out Tesco Mobile. It runs on the o2 network!

Or giffgaff, again which runs on the o2 network: 250 mins, unlimited texts and also TRULY unlimited internet for £10 per month.

If you go on their forums and order a sim from someone's signature, you get a free sim WITH £5 credit!
So there are many alternatives to Virgin Mobile/Media!
