Advantages: Cheap calls and texts to other virgin mobile users
Disadvantages: Not everyone has a virgin mobile but they should!

...I've been a virgin mobile user for nearly six years and i have no regrets what so ever! ** First things first - the prices!!! ** Calls to other virgin mobile users = 15p for the first 5 minutes then 5p there after. Calls to other networks = 35p per minute Texts to other virgin mobile users = 3p (bargain!!!!!) Texts to other networks = 10p Picture messages = 30p WAP = 0.5p per kb Voicemail = free Calling 789 (to top-up or find out your airtime) = free Calling 789 (to talk to a member of the team = 10p per minute So as you can see, to call and text to other networks is about the same as any other network but to call and text to other virgin mobiles saves you a lot of money! The 3p a text to other virgin mobiles is a major selling point for virgin and it's a good one at that - you can send three messages to a virgin mobile... Read review

Advantages: Cheaper to run, no contract
Disadvantages: E Top Up card not excepted everywhere

...Virgin mobiles – Pay As You Go I have had a virgin mobile for the past 2 years and so far never had any problems with coverage apart from the depths of North Devon when I have to stand on a wall to make a phone call. I purchased a Nokia 3310 to replace my siemens, which was my first purchase via the Virgin.com website, only then to be replaced by my Nokia about a year later. Virgin Mobile offers you a discount if you have already purchased a phone from them previously and chuck in a £5 air time voucher to get you started. Sort of an up grade if you like. Virgin mobile offer something called Virgin Extras when you are online, you can set up text alerts for free on the following subjects i.e. Sports news, music, going out (cinema releases), staying in (video/DVD releases) travel offers and news, shopping, organiser and fun...

Advantages: Great Value calls
Disadvantages: Lack of mobile internet bundles

...Virgin Mobile,part of the Virgin Media Group, is the UK's largest virtual mobile network now offers a choice of 2 Pay As You Go tariffs. From my experience I found Virgin Mobile great value for money especially when making voice calls or when using voicemail, the customer service is good,the website is speedy and they reply to emails within 2 hours usually! More info about tariffs and value for money is explained below: The Standard Tariff is ideal for those who call mainly landlines,Virgin Mobiles,080,084 and 0870 numbers as well as Voicemail. The more time you spend on the phone,the cheaper the calls become and calls to certain international destinations can be quite good value for money in comparison to other UK networks and landline providers. The Daily Bonus Tariff is ideal if you call mostly other UK mobile networks... Read review

Advantages: Great prices, service, rewards, website... and lots more!
Disadvantages: Website sometimes won't load

...I have been with a number of mobile providers including Orange, One to One and Vodaphone but have found Virgin Mobile to be the best by far. Costs: I have found the prices very reasonable: 10p texts to other networks and just 3p to other virgin mobiles 15p per minute for the first five minutes of calls each day and 5p after that Although this is a bit of a pain if your friends are not with Virgin you can now also buy a range of different bundles including texts, minutes and picture texts which significantly bring down the cost of each message if your friends are with other networks - for instance texts are just 2.4p each if you buy their largest bundle which is 1500 texts for £36. However, unless you are planning on ending up with RSI you might be more interested in some of their smaller packages - which are also very... Read review

Advantages: good tarrifs, free voicemail

...I recently had an old phone i wanted to use, so I thought I'd buy a Sim card pack. The cheapest deal was Virgin Mobile, which cost only 10 pounds including 5 pounds free airtime. It was simple to use, with pay as you go, with no extra charges,
