Virgin Deals & Offers

I have 200mb/full house tv with movies and phone for £39!!!

Me to£36 not happy really but what else is there

I'm too much of a pushover. I rang after the recent price increase and managed to get them down to £36 for 200Mbps broadband. Where I live the only viable option is VM so feel like I need to take a deal with them. Anyone here want to ring on my behalf next time my price goes up? :P

I got this deal 6 months ago for 18 months, just kept haggling

Congrats on your first post, OP :) I've added the total price over 12 months into the title - hope that helps.

Seems ok.

That price is for 24 months how you getting the 18 months?

You know it's a rubbish phone when they offer something free with it

This is a good deal, and I'm not really helping when I say I got the same phone, console and game, but with 10gb of data a month for £26. But yes it's a good deal. However virgin media are appalling in customer service

Actually looks a decent deal as its rare deals with consoles are good value. Good allowances and data too. Voted hot.

4th December

Anyone know when this deal will expire?

I'm not even sure how they were doing it, but managed to snag that 5000mins/40gb (20gb/free double up) rolling 30days @£10p/m from virgin last time round...i've not seen anything that beats it so sticking with evnt though i'd l;ike a new phone really

I have to add, customer service is excellent.

Does virgin have throttling? Was on the phone to three and they can do 30gb ACYE mins and text for £15.

The flight definitely does not stop. There is no need to. Even the worlds longest flight (Perth to London) doesn’t stop.

(annoyed) (skeptical)

The nation's second city, after Birmingham.

The fullstop button is just right of the [space-bar]... Kindest regards

:) (lol) (flirt) Could’ve been London Ontario, Kindest Regards :p I was referring to which London airport as i’m sure you are aware our Capital has several international airports8)

A student of Life .... (nerd)

code on me : 36DE473FUG

doesn't cover all the west coast route as it seems to suggest, ridiculous

Unfortunately doesnt go to manchester :( also doesnt even seem to work london to birmingham. "it just says the origin destination combination selected is not valid for this promo"

What is the price of a ticket London to Birms?

A 3 year contract for a phone that's already out of date and a sub 200 console. Honestly what muppet would go for this.

It was still a basic phone then

That was 18 months ago.

That's a much lower model though and worth a lot less.

No I didn't but the XA1 which 18 months ago had only been out for a few months. So this deal is very similar just at a highly inflated price!!

Does this work? The address in the text is live with the offer and asks to fill in a form. Coming to the end of my 12 month deal.

Not sure whether I got the call because I also kick started the process of moving to SSE for phone and broadband and Virgin got the notification that I was moving my number. Guess they might be calling your bluff for those who haven’t been contacted yet??

I need to ask my brother to cancel, and give them a ring, my brother is paying so much for the Virgin Media Full Housepackage.

I’ve just taken this deal I thought it was decent

What’s people getting vip pack for these days

I joined and got 100mb for 27.99 with the speed boost offer. Not happy with the price based on what some are getting. I called up to cancel in my 14 day period, got some cocky guy in the retentions department who essentially called me a liar even when quoting the figures in here and the screenshots, he said its not possible, no one has that deal. I asked him to put my cancellation through and now I'll see what comes from black friday or a call back...

On Virgin now BB+phone+TV Can I get my wife to sign up to Virgin to get new customer offer and keep my landline number?

I was offered the same a week ago with £50 credit. I declined as last year it was £19 per month

Just had my 2nd call back from Virgin offering £24.00pm for the 100Mb broadband but without the phone line. I was paying £21.00 for both but now it looks like they wont budge. Black Friday is coming so I'll just wait a little longer and shop around for a decent deal.

the called me 3 days after and i said no thanks, then then called me again today (8 days after the last call with a much better offer)

The law may say 14 days but I recommend you avoid the nightmare you may have by attempting to cancel this - you may find they don't tell the truth and your stuck on a contract. Are Virgin deals misleading? The technical statements they make may be conditional if you read the small print, and my "unlimited" everything contract only deliverd unlimited BS they vomit when one points out service failures or things that were not agreed to. If you do sign with Virgin, RECORD YOUR PHONE CALLS. You will thank me for this. The promises made on the phone are to get you to onto a 12 month contract. Then credit reference agencies can be used to bully you into complying with the garbage contract they tricked you into signing. The ombudsman that deals with complaints about Mobile phones contracts is a joke and the reality, is Virgin has allot more experience in dealing with the Ombudsman than the customer. I strongly recommend you risk off this experience and avoid this company, and anything else with the Virgin Brand, as they are little more than sweatshops with a commercial Red Virgin wrapper and couldn't care less about customers or their credit ratings.

Virgin Mobile has been good for me. Signal was great at most places. Internet was there when I needed it. I changed over to EE as my employer had a big discount. Leaving Virgin Mobile took me 32 minutes. I wanted the Apple Watch also, yet the retentions agent assured me he can offer it me. Despite a basic google search with results to vm forums saying its not available with no plans to. The agent was blabbering some rubbish that I almost just hung up... Just worth mentioning. Its good but CS is awful.

Go through quidco for £48 cash back. Effectively bringing your cost per month down to £14 over the year. Making it a smoking hot deal.

It really does depend totally on your location. At work, I'm in WC2 in London. As I type, I have 3 out of 5 bars of a 4G signal with Virgin and I'm getting 0.44mbps download speed and 0.67 upload. Back home, in SW15 I get 35-40mbps download speed. I'd love Virgin it if I was at home all day. You do have 14 days to try out any mobile phone contract and can cancel the contract without penalty within that period if you're not happy and will be refunded any payment, so worth a try.

Actually, Virgin have also been increasing their definition of 'peak' for years (only know of Euston departures). It used to be much later, whereas now it's around 3pm or even earlier.

GWR don't run the Delay Repay scheme, as they're an older franchise that started before Delay Repay existed. So they're not as generous as most train companies, and they often won't pay anything, if the delay wasn't their fault. All newer franchises have Delay Repay schemes that pay after 15 or 30 minutes delay (usually 30), and it doesn't matter who is at fault for the delay.

Virgin Trains delay-repay is good. I got 100% refunded after an hours delay, a lot of train companies don't refund until you hit at least an hour. I put in a claim for Great Western for a 43min delay and it was rejected because it needed to be a minimum of an hour.

Weekends are off peak anyway, so presumably you mean the other four days of the week. And delay repay is not about whether trains are cancelled, but how late you reach your destination. So if your Virgin train is cancelled but getting the next one means you're 20 minutes late, for example, you wouldn't get anything back. If your train isn't cancelled, but you're 30 minutes late, you're would get a partial refund. The minimum delay to get something back from London Northwestern is 15 minutes, but with Virgin, and most other companies, it's 30 minutes. If your train is cancelled and you decide not to travel, you should be able to get a full refund of an unused ticket from all train companies. But that's nothing to do with delay repay.

like the other companies they charge a fortune, London to Manchester £89.90 return, or the best part of £360 for a family of four, it would cost under £40 in petrol in an average car. bargain

Yes. They are behind us. Because you had to have ordered online to collect in store. My local store and the four stores closest to me had all sold out on day of release. It wasn’t possible to order for collection.

Dude, if it was such a hot potato, then the fruit based company would have promoted it, but instead there were tumble weeds rolling past store fronts. Looks like the days of Fanboys Queuing to buy a phone are behind us.

3 years.....jog on. SIM free all the way, while you can buy from Amazon EU your handset.

No queues because it was sold out. Unless you had already ordered online and selected your 30 minute collection window you couldn’t buy one. Well, at the store I went to anyway. Online none of the 64gb were available for collection on day of release or in stock unless had ordered ahead of launch.

Get ready for 3 year contracts with 99% of deals now! No way would I enter a three year 38 a month contract on a phone that's out of date before I get home from the shop.

You as well..... keep following those sheep baaaaaa

Not at all. Merely making an observation that you are a very unusual case. Have a great Sunday :)

So because everyone else said it was rubbish I have to agree even if I had no problems with talk talk......... Ok

Well, there’s always one!... TalkTalk are consistently rated the worst ISP in the country. VM are consistently rated 1st or 2nd best. Those are ratings from their own users, so your opinion lies very much in a fractional minority, probably not statistically far from those who believe the earth to be flat (y)

Well that’s not true as I have said it (flirt)

I was getting this speed but had already made the move to EE. EE have had some speed bumps too it seems XD

...got the new sims installed last night and had better speeds at home, even though hardly 4G signal was recived and this morning's test at work showing some improvement in 4G "spectrum", but far from 70Mbps suggested (skeptical) Btw, SIM cards were the same purple ones as originally received when signed up for Virgin back in February.

I live in a village out side of hull but yes you are right. They charge the earth.

Ah KCON in Hull. Absolute scumbags

Lol, well I guess it’s a much more professional service aswell given people don’t just autoreply impulsive and wing like a call, they actually have the time to research answers -No matter how long the replies take :D Good news, hope some improvement happens :3

any one use this in a 4G modem? Any restrictions ?

Will love this one as I'm going to give Three 30 day notice later today. Network not always great and intend to pay only £10 per month with about 10GB data

Interested about this too!

when did you sign up to the 40gb plan?

they are doing this 100 GB also for £20 plus go via top cash back and you will get £75 cash back which will make it £13.75 pm after cash back https://www.virginmedia.com/mobile/sim-only/pay-monthly-sim/?=&buspart=uk_afl_a_mobile_na_na_trade_direct_HotUKDeals_generic&tduid=1346d1227c1d470d2a87b812bfa355b4&CMP=DFA:1921795:115854783:317092575:0&sitekey=N33505.285244TRADEDOUBLERUK&contractDuration=12&tariffID=1474797685

Just knew after sky slipped in the sky 3 year phone contract others would follow. Networks think we have mug on our head

You sound like you know a good deal when you see one

3 bloomin years!

Excellent! I'll extend it to 10 years!

You can also extend this contract into a five years contract. Just keep on paying £40 for another two years at the end of three years. In case you get a call from them after three years, just request them you dont want to end the contract yet. I hope it helps 8)
