  Careful with the bills if you do this. Virgin have a habit of offering customers silly discounts to persuade them not to leave, only to forget the discount when it's time to bill you.
  
  Check every bill to make sure you're being charged the correct amount. Keep all paperwork and definitely get the price confirmed in writing.
  
  Brilliant deal tho.

  Should be available for those who have been with Virgin for a month or more.

  This is a retention deal with 9 times out of 10 cannot be achieved unless you have the social engineering skills as Boris Johnson...

  To be honest, it didn't require any effort on my part at all! Just phoned up, said I wanted to leave and was offered this deal.

  Good deal Ollie, I got the premier package 2500 minutes, unlimited text and data for £10 a month being an existing virgin customer but will not use anywhere near that amount of minutes so might change to this deal at a later date, I've used it to tether my ipad and works great, Virgin are one of the few that does allow you to tether. They also now do have Micro sim cards which they never used to have and had one sent out to go in my Nokia Lumia 800 phone also a deal posted on here to which I have only good things too say about.

  Now this has been posted Virgin will be wise to the ruse. Most likely response to the "I'm thinking of leaving" request will be "OK, bye then".
  Then they'll laugh as you come crawling back (_;)

  I phoned up yesterday to ask for my PAC... gave me my current £12 plan for a reduced £7 a month. Took no effort, so this deal is totally possible.

  Very easy to get discounted, if you say your leaving. They did have a issue with discounting the standard tariff to the reduced rate a while ago but this seems to work fine now , they give you a recurring credit each month

  There are no clauses attached to the 'unlimited internet' claim so it should be just that. I can't be certain, but last month I used about 6GB with no problems.

  I dont' think so. My contract don't have these terms. There is no limit (i can download even 50 GB - last month i've downloaded 43 GB with no extra charge or slowing connection)
