Virgin Deals & Offers

Seller has put the price up to £169.99 :(

Sky Go works fine. I've not had any problems with Bluetooth and WiFi used together.

I'm interested in this. I have a Huawei m5 which is fine for me but also looking for something bigger just for streaming really. A problem with the m5 is that if you use Bluetooth headphones it throttles down the WiFi, so the WiFi is nowhere near as fast when connected to Bluetooth. I think they both use the same antennae or something. Does anyone know if this has a similar problem? Also does sky go work on this?

Thanks for the info, it seems this will be perfect for my intended use. The apps you mention are the ones I was interested in. You've been of great help, this is just what I've been looking for, Cheers 🌞

Yes it does - I installed GPS Test.

Thanks. If you ever happen to get one of the film-type protectors (ie not the tempered glass type) I'd be interested to know where you get it from. Seem to be not many around!

I didn't no, just the usual bit of film that came on the screen

Out of interest, did you get a screen protector for this?

Answering my own question: Sony tell me they won’t be selling dual SIM variant of this phone in the UK.

I was told I wouldn't be charged £6 for the first month as it's still in the 14 day cooling off period. We shall see if that is the case though!

Virgin oak....Touching (pirate)

Remember that an age statement is only the age of the youngest whisky in the bottle. Something that is NAS could contain some older whisky married with some younger spirit - see Laphroaig Lore for example, which is NAS and contains some 21yr Laphroaig.

The above comments sum up this whisky perfectly. The Virgin Oak is a great whisky when compared against other non age statement (NAS) whiskies at similar price points. It is also a great introduction to whisky for anyone taking their first steps. The Deanston 12 is a brilliant whisky and has received a lot of praise. It is probably one of the best bang-for-buck whiskies on sale. Both whiskies are non-peated and suited to those who like complex, floral and delicate notes to their whisky. In conclusion: It is difficult to recommend the Virgin Oak over the 12, but it is easy to recommend it over almost any other whisky at the same price point. Disclaimer: taste is subjective etc. etc. etc.

Wish more would put an age statement on younger malts...Ardbeg 5 is great and there are some belting indy bottlings with younger age

We should grateful someone is doing this with younger whisky. Comparing this with its outstanding bigger brother is unfair. Try comparing it to a NAS Jura and you find this a very clear winner

I had an introductory box from VW a couple of months back and all the wines were really good, including the Black Pig mentioned above. I've recently had another mixed red box which has been quite disappointing, certainly no better than a careful supermarket selection. I'm going to give them one last go then cancel the subscriptions if the choices are mediocre. Just looked at the selection. The Perez Cruz is top quality.

I agree. I’m sad I missed the magnum on Laithwaites for some of the 12 bottle offers as Santander are doing 20% cashback at the moment as well.

Only the prize seems great the last few years

Be better off getting 12 Rex mundi,Cabalie,black stump and a free magnum delivered for £90 imho. So for that reason I’m out on this occasion sorry op

With lots of us having to spend a significant amount of time cooped up at home, having a well-stocked wine rack will be more important than ever, and we’ll be delighted to bring some much needed enjoyment to your doorstep! Use your £20 VOUCHER on any wines you like - just pop 12 or more bottles into your basket, with a minimum value of £99.48 and we'll deduct the £20 there and then. What are you waiting for? Get cracking!

OK thanks. Its expiring tomorrow

Thanks to "shayanden" for find this deal (y)

I haven't gone for the deal yet, waiting for a few weeks for current contract to expire. Not upgraded my TCB yet either

Have you upgraded? Did the cashback increased?

yeah totally agree, was just interested what model we were getting

Not yet- I think it makes sense that you need to get through a month before they send out the TV. If you were to cancel after 2 weeks, which you're allowed to I think, they'd have a nightmare getting the TVs back from people. Expect it to arriive a little after 1 months usage of the new virgin.

sorry for the late post on the expired deal, i got the offer and was installed on saturday and recieved an email saying i will recieve my free gift ( 43" lg tv) in 2 8 days. Has anyone already recieved theirs or know what model the tv is?

I've not done it myself with landline as I don't use it. Only use mobile. But Google should be able to find someone who has done it and made a guide. (y)

Ok and is it easy to port back to virgin land line

I've enjoyed reading this thread. I've been swearing at the TV for COD having lag issues (the three orange boxes) but now I realise it's a VM thing!

Hi @DharujanNathan thanks for sharing your first deal with us, I've added some additional information to the title including contract term length and the sim added benefit. For those wanting higher speed internet access and a shorter contract term it's one to consider if reviewing availability options for your postcode. If you are a Virgin Customer personal feedback on how you've found them with customer service would be great if you could share that too with us (y)

This is my second year with VM and there are three things I'll point out if you are thinking of moving to them. 1. Their customer service is non existent. Since Covid, I have lost internet for 5 consecutive days and this was only fixed in the 5 days as I was spending between 1 to 2 hours a day chasing them. Had they of not sent the engineer at my request, it would most likely not be fixed now. 2. Their billing system is shocking. You're fine if you stay on the package you started them with, but if you make any changes, they totally cock the bill up and after 4 months of chasing them, even VM customer service team appear to have given up and have directed me to CISAS (Communication & Internet Services Adjudication Scheme). 3. I pay for 350mb, but for the last 3 months I average anything between 20mb and 100mb. I have had multiple engineer visits, but nothing has improved. The so called technical support have suggested that WiFi boosters will fix all of my problems, even though I have never complained about WiFi as most of connections are hard wired. As soon as another provider in my area can support anything over 100mb, I am off.

Now issues with speeds until we had to replace our router, on 2.5 we went from 100mbps to around 10 and as low as 0.03 with two new routers. CS say that many factors could affect speeds but can’t tell me why there is so much difference between the old and new router. Going to get a mesh and fidget about it.

I have 350 VM and its great. No issues on speed or faults which rarely happen and normally the box down the road. Where else can you get that speed .....if 79 mbps works and you call it fast good luck.

Near the end of contract. I didn't pay any fees just returned the modem.

That will incur an early exit fee.

I had changed mine in 2015 and it started a new contract. I clearly remember because I had a £7 loyalty discount on my original contract, which lasted for the first 7 months on my new contract and I then had to pay full price for the last 5 months. When I queried i, I was told that when I entered into a new contract, the discount was not renewed for another 12 months (how convenient!!!)

Just give them an address that doesn't have Virgin services.

I’ve changed houses before with virgin, it certainly didn’t start a new contract how can it start a new contract when you’re allowed to move address on your existing contract or pay early exist fee .

It's also available on 24 Month contract @ £30.50 a month which if say £20 a month goes for any 100gb data a month then you only paying £10.50 a month for the phone or £252 in total which is a great deal for a 5G Ready great phone as well as claiming free wireless headphones worth £119

36 months?! No thank you

Done that for over 10 years Rastome but you don't get retentions by talking to customer service ,You have to cancel totally then they will ring back with a deal.Retentions after you cancel are the ones who can give you the best deals.I do it every year,They are still a terrible company though if i could get matching BB somewhere else i would ditch them asap.

@den169 All you have to do is call customer services retention team when you contract is about to run out and tell them what you want. May have to speak with couple of people, but if you are politely persistent, you’ll get what you want. This is what I’ve been doing for past 6 years with Virgin. Last I renewed in December ‘19. I had a deal for 200mbps, basic TV and phone line, similar to the one that’s posted but quicker internet for £31.50 pcm. Payment was meant to go up to £54 as they do silly 12month promo contracts and then it goes up. First person on the phone said it’s not possible, so I politely asked to speak with her supervisor. Waited another 5mins and said I want the same service for the same money as I was happy with it or I’m leaving, 2 seconds later the answer was “OK, no problem, all sorted”. 15 minutes on the phone once a year won’t hurt me, they keep the customer and I have no hassle with changing providers, even if there may be something out there £2 cheaper. And people on management level realise that or are being trained to retain customers (hence name of department). After all in business it’s cheaper to keep a customer from leaving than attract a new one. I never had issues with Virgin and have been moving every 6-12 months (at least 5 times) for the 4 years prior to house I live in now. It’s simple as - if you don’t ask, you don’t get.

Received call today was offering only M50 for £26.i straight said no (lol)

Virgin are utter garbage. I haven't had Internet in six months. Multiple engineer visits, takes days to actually speak to someone following any event as you have to use the garbage app or generic number for contact and explain the issue to five different people before getting to someone who can do something. And virgin media are outright lying scum, the tier one tech guy in India told me today I need to pay for a greater than 100mb package to get better than 600m/s latency because I use 500gb a month data (fierce) The only solace is I'm not alone, just check their twitter or reviews online. Regulator should take their license.

They will ring you with a deal a few days before the 30 days are up.
