Quick comparison for those who think this tariff is the worst in the Pay As You Go market:

Vodafone simply plan: All calls to UK landlines and UK Mobiles including Vodafone numbers: 20p per minute, Voicemail is 20p PER MINUTE. ALL texts cost 12p

Orange Racoon: 15p per minute to all UK Mobiles and Landlines,Orange answerphone costs 15p per minute, ALL texts to ALL networks including orange cost 10p.

Orange Dolphin plan: Exactly the same as Virgin's addict tariff but voicemail costs 10p per minute and is not a flat rate unlike Virgin's which works out more expensive.

T-Mobile: 20p per minute for the first 2 minutes of calls then 10p after that, calls to voicemail are 10p per minute and all texts cost 10p each.

Take5: All calls to all networks and landlines cost 35p per minute,voicemail costs 35p per minute, you get 5 free mins and 5 free texts everyday plus texts cost 10p. Virgin's Daily Bonus tariff beats this and calls cost no more than 15p per minute and offers 5 free mins and texts with free voicemail!

The only network that beats Virgin is 3 t be honest upon £25 top ups.

Other benefits from Virgin Mobile and 3:

24 hour customer service
Free voicmail on some tariffs
Cheap Mobile internet!
