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!  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
