Re: Vm mobile price increase
I remember reading somewhere that the mobile phone operators had been forced to change the way they charge for connecting calls here or in the EU i think its. At that time i said to a friend this will make them change there prices to cover for the lost revenue. Wonder if all of the mobile operators will slowly increase over the following months

Re: Vm mobile price increase
Had my letter today. As you say, 2.9% is not a lot, but it's the principle. Seems like the contract is only one way. VM's way! ![Mad](images/smilies/mad.gif) If you cancel the contract, you lose out, but they can increase the price whenever they like!

The tariff the Three charge £18 a month for, VM's equivalent is £15
Quote:
VIP SIM Only £15
SIM card cost FREE
Your tariff gives you:
Unlimited calls to Virgin Mobile numbers
Unlimited minutes
Unlimited texts
Unlimited texts to Virgin Mobile numbers
Unlimited Mobile Web
|
If you aren't a Media customer you just don't get the specific Mobile bits, you still get everything else
and also have Blackberry version of tariff too

Re: Vm mobile price increase
Does that include unlimited tethering on up to 5 devices?
