Hi everyone ive see a Virgin mobile sim only deal £12 for 1g internet 500mins 5000tex anyone have this,is it a great deal?
It states that they use t mobile/orange network its a 30day contract so is it worth a punt.Signal wise im either in Manchester or Oldham
Cheers

Yep it's worth a punt. Orange/T-Mobile have coverage pretty much everywhere these days.

Just a few things to bear in mind.
- Is your phone unlocked to accept any network sim?
- Would 500 mins and 1GB be enough? (you can swap them out e.g less mins for more data)

hi thanks for your reply ive had the email to say when i put the new sim in and connect to itunes it will state its unlocked the phone was on on O2.I have access to wifi also,so i should be fine im guessing number transfer will be ok.

I wouldn't call this a great deal as i am with them sim only and for the same price £12, I get 1200 minutes, unlimited texts, 1.5gb internet.

Yep as long as the phone is unlocked it'll be fine. It's worth having a look around for a better deal like rani says.

Tesco (who use O2) do the same deal (500/5000/1GB) for £10pm on a 1 month rolling contract. (this presumes you're happy with O2's service)

Or if you ring up Virgin, (or are a bb/tv customer with them) you can probably get a better deal than the one advertised.

Or you can sign up for the same deal rani has here- (1200mins/5000texts/1GB Data)

Don't forget you can usually get a better deal if you sign up to a 12 month minimum term but i understand why you'd want a 1 month one.

thanks guys ill have a proper look at these deals tomorrow o2 is not always the best in oldham so i guess tesco will be the same.Im warming to Virgin i think

Hi

I've just got the sim only tariff from virgin mobile for my ipad. It's 12.00 per month and is unlimited data and unlimited texts. Much better than the 1gb data...
