EXPIRED - Virgin Mobile Free Nokia 5800, 200 Mins, Unlimited Texts, Unlimited Internet + 100 Mins To Other Virgin Phones £15 Per Month (18 months)!


£15.00

230°

FOUND BY: ClaireDC 4 weeks, 6 hours ago

Just rang up and spoke to Virgin Mobile, I explained that I was with T Mobile and that they had offered me a free Nokia 5800 for £15 with unlimited internet usage (as I'm not overly bothered about how many minutes were included as I have another phone with more allowance but wanted a phone for my fella so he could check sports and stuff on the net) and could they match or beat it.

I was told straight away that yes they could match the price, and given the details of the allowance package, which I think is fairly decent for the price and phone that you get.

200 mins any network, any time calls.
Unlimited texts
Unlimited internet
Plus 100 minutes to other virgin phones (I assume they mean other virgin mobiles).

There is a £4.88 delivery charge but I think this is a brilliant deal, the total (including postage) cost for the whole contract is £274.88.

The website (below) shows that to get a 5800 with internet access is usually £18 per month, plus around £15 for the phone with less calls and text allowance, so this is a decent saving on the website deal and you get more for it.

Hope this is of some use to some of you who want a cheap, but decent mobile contract!

This deal is off line so you are not able to get Quidco are you?

This is a good deal, thought I had got a good retention deal from vodafone last week when I got £15 per month for 500mins, 100txts with free Nokia 5800. But mine only came with free internet and free gps for first month.

Is GPS not free all the time? I've never been charged for using it (apart from if it connects to the network for map data etc.).

GPS is always free, but if you don't have the maps stored on your phone (the nokias should come preloaded with UK maps), then you will have to use the internet to access/download them on the go.

Sorry I popped out, yeah that's the only downside but the savings you make/extras you get are worth more than that anyway!

I actually got put through from calling 150 on our virgin landline, but they just put me through to sales if that helps.

Ah ok, I'll do that, because I'm with Virgin. I'm wondering if the 5800 will be any good with data speeds for the internet though...?

Because there are people like me that only text and use the internet? 200 minutes would probably last me TWO months, let alone one!
