VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

Hi all,

Still getting conflicting info about VOLT. I just think its ridiculous that I was on o2 and virgin media, i then moved from o2 to virgin mobile and i'm told i don't qualify for VOLT because I'm not on o2 mobile!

Any VM experts here? Surely there must be a ton of people complaining about it!

I can now use o2 rewards again which is ironic that o2 class me on virgin mobile as warranting the ability to use o2 rewards but not the VOLT haha

I am on Virgin Mobile but coming to the end of my deal so will need to re-negotiate and am hoping I can switch to Volt. I have no issue taking my number to o2 if that is what I need to do.

Interested on more info on this subject too.

I was on VMobile with the free SIM as part of Ultimate package. When I renewed, I had to move to O2 a couple of months ago. O2 raise their prices every March which didn't happen with my VM SIM.

I think O2 are quite expensive:

O2 50Gb iPhone 13 £46.99 a month + £30 up front
VM 100Gb iPhone 13 - £41.50 a month - zero up front.
Both 5G

I know it's only £5.50 a month difference but...

(Obvs (double data SIM if you have VM broadband = 100Gb and also next BB tier if you have an O2 sim and Virginmedia BB)

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

I was looking at the o2 sim only deals and they start at £15 so that is a no from me. I will have to see what they offer

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

I moved to Sky a while ago based on the fact VM were moving to the Vodaphone network.
As I understand it, Sky use the O2 network anyway, so I basically ended up in the same place.

My Sky costs me £6 month and my unused data builds up for 3 years.

I get 5GB a month (doubled to 10GB with VOLT) for £11 - just changed it last week (previously had 20GB (doubled to 40GB), but wasn’t using it).

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

oh right. I went through the VM options and it sent me to the o2 site and the options were quite poor. I may still give it a go

Just called and the guy I spoke too literally told me to call back closer the time of my discount drop off and he said they should be able to renew my deal at the same cost which means I should still get my free sim. Of course that remains to be seen but if that is the case I will forget the Volt idea

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

Have a look on the Uswitch site, O2 sim only deals start from £6 at the moment.

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

I saw those a while back and was tempted. That deal can't be bought direct from VMO2 though, so does it qualify for Volt benefits? Or can any O2 sim deal be applied for double data?

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

Any O2 sim deal will qualify.

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

Thank you, I will look into it again.

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

Sounds good pity about fixed price rises! Tesco were offering 10gb for 2years at £10 ,and that's 02 as well but no perks* :D * get O2 ones but not volt ones . Or does someone know different

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

I'm in a funny situation.


My dad is the VM account holder, and I have an O2 pay monthly.


I wonder if they would accept that?

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

Name has to be the same on both accounts.

Re: VOLT o2 and Virgin Media
 

It's changed to address matching for eligibility. Doesn't need to be the same name too now.
