Virgin Mobile Out of Tariff Price increase 25th July
Just received a text about out of tariff charges and a price increase and I have to say Virgin are being plain greedy at the moment with their complete rip off price increases this year?
I mean, Calls to other virgin mobile phones is to rise in line with charges to call other Mobile phone networks. 40p per Min whether it's a Virgin Mobile phone or Mobile on another network. Texts are also increasing from 3p to 15p for ALL texts regardless if the recipient has a Virgin Mobile. Mobile Web Now 50p per day up from 30p. A 20p Increase!!! Calls to 0800 numbers: 21p Per min. http://www.virginmediapeople.com/changes/JV12/ |

I use GiffGaff myself, well pleased with what I get with it tbh.
I don`t have the "Goodybags" as i`m not a big talker/texter but if an event has happened where 1 month i`ve needed to use my mobile alot i`ve taken the £5 goodybag. Check em out www.giffgaff.com (non affiliate link) Forgot to add all the kids are on giffgaff so free to talka nd text each other and we`ve found it`s free to ring/text o2 aswell (must be the same network) |

What happened to the loyalty to calling/texting other Virgin Mobile phones? - it's been completely removed. |

The free calls from virgin to virgin is still there as long as you are on the correct tariff for being an existing Virgin Media customer. Not sure if there was ever free texts to other VM phones though. When you log on to your online acc it should tell you how much is remaining. |

Free Virgin Mobile to Virgin Mobile minutes for Media customers are counted as part of your Tariff |

Worse if you work abroad as allowances count for nothing.

Re: Virgin Mobile Out of Tariff Price increase 25th July
There never was any loyalty for calling another VM phone, it was just cheaper. However they are now moving to a standard single level of pricing for all calls, which yes may be more costly per minute but if you don't go out with your free bundled minutes or texts then the new pricing will not have any affect on what you get charged for.
So if you go over quiet a lot it might be worth upgrading to the next tariff for more inclusive minutes and texts? |

My current monthly tariff includes unlimited (3000 minutes) Virgin to Virgin mobile calls. If that's not sufficient for you, then you have a problem:confused:
