I recieved a text message from them this afternoon confirming this, thought they would've put it up long before now, to be honest. Not a happy chappy though, it must be said!

Just looking at my data usage on my phone and in the last 6 months I only went above 1 GB one month by 100mb, so to be safe I may go for the virgin £12 for 2gb, unlimited minutes, unlimited texts rolling contract, unless anyone knows of anything better?

If you want to sacrifice minutes (1000 is still unlimited to me) depends how much you use but 4GB of data for exactly the same price. + first two months £5.99

and yes it's a 30-day rolling contract.

I don't personally know of anyone on Virgin who is happy with their data experience.

Thanks for that, but after speaking to my dad (both he and his partner are with virgin mobile), i have decided to got for the £12 per month virgin deal.

£12 per month
2 gb data
unlimited texts
unlimited calls including 0870 and 084 type numbers.

Less than im paying now, and i will have coverage when i visit my dad (three doesnt work in that whole area)

Thanks Three, make it right!!!, indeed.

How they can't offer a 2GB to 4GB in between data package as a new All In One 15 offer' I don't know why.

Indeed IGB of data for £10 would be far more attractive than the paltry 500MB.

I'm happy to pay for the All In One 20 as they will be offering. AYCE data staying on PAYG is most important as far as I'm concerned

Is there any way of finding out one's usage on Three's PAYG AYCE ? Thing is it's very difficult to know what plan to move to when you've no idea what you've used.

The All In One 20 will still the by far the best PAYG bundle on sale in the Uk.

A £5 increase for the AYCE data with 300 minutes and 3000
texts is a much better result than a big cut in data to a 1GB or 2GB for the All In One 15.

We can't really complain as £15 has been a great bargain cost for a long time when you consider the unlimited data.

I get that the AYCE 15 was a good deal, but if they are changing things up then they needed to adjust the other add ons to make them more appealing, 500mb is no good to most people, for £10 it should have been 1gb, then the £15 one should have 500 mins and 4 gb, the £20 on should get 750 mins, and unlimited data, the £25 one 1000 mins and unlimited.

All they have done is push me and probably others like me off their network.

That's a good point, overlooking the obvious.

if people want to leave the network, then go. But the people saying Virgin Mobile, good luck with them.

It's a free market out there, loads of operators to choose from. Nothing stays the same forever, data use doubles year on year and other revenue drops due to iMessage, free EU, free 0800, euro cap, we've known for a long time data prices would have to rise and unlimited tethering deals were at risk.

ok, sorry i started a thread regarding this and giffgaff going up to £20 for unlimited data but didnt realise this was running.

i moved to three last month for the £15 all you can eat data only now to see it go to £20 like giffgaff has.

So what do i do ? I still have my giffgaff sim in my dual sim phone and thinking will probably go back there unless there is anything better but what being said here doesnt look like it.
