Moving from Oomph to Volt isn't automatic, however if you apply for the Volt benefits on Unlimited Oomph as an existing O2 customer you end up with an Unlimited Oomph SIM on Virgin Mobile plus a data-doubled SIM on O2.

As Oomph is now retired, I'm pretty sure any cable services change will move you off Oomph. So to get Gig1 you have to go from Unlimited Oomph to Unlimited Volt.

What then happens with your SIM(s) when you go from Oomph to Volt on cable services as part of a requested bundle change depends on what you've now got an what you want to do.
I was wondering about this. So I am on Oomph and an O2 customer so was automatically upgraded to 1 gig - appreciate I am one of the lucky ones where it just worked (after nudging O2 to kick off the process). Really happy as a customer with this - fantastic bonus.

My Oomph SIM has always been a bonus but not necessary for me - I just use it in a hotspot when on holiday etc so wouldnt mind losing it. I never used it as my main SIM as EE signal is so poor at home. At renewal of my VM contract (currently paying £99) is there a way I could consolidate it so that I just have an O2 SIM or would I then lose any benefits? I assume I could just move over to Ultimate Volt and do a PAC transfer assuming I could negotiate a good price?
