Thanks emma So many bargains there.....
How/where/do you need to put in the discount code or do they give the money back? I went through a purchase and it just has the full price at the Confirm Payment screen.
This is a great offer, voted +. With quidco, it comes to about 30% off!
Ah! Can't go via Quidco link or it takes you to the normal website and not Lifestyle section. How do you get to use Quidco and the 20% off?
Oh well went for it anyway as still a bargain without Quidco :-D

Only the the link the OP gives the option to use a code. I would suggest to go via quidco and paste the URL link in the OP in the same browser window.

Thanks saxo, hope that's helpful
Excellent i vote HOT
nice find edi thanks
Stupid question: are Virgin phones locked to their own network?
yes there on virgin but free to unblock, but you have to spend £30 of credit on them first then you phone virgin and they send out the unlock code.
Virgin is the best, iv been with them for years for the past 3 months we have been getting free texts to another virgin mobile every month. Plus now we have just been sent a text saying as from the the start of october we will only pay 3p for calls a min to other virgin mobiles until january or feb

I had the following message emailed to me after trying to order a phone:

Thanks for choosing Virgin Mobile
So I called them and they were asking where I got the discount code from, I was saying Lifestyle in an email etc but couldn't blag it so they won't take the order :x
How have others ordered there's successfully? I went through the link and created a UserID etc (I had an old SIM with 15p on it still).
Just a pain as I wanted an L6!
Darkovo i dont think anyone has ordered one yet, i phoned them up and enquired about when the offer is ending and yes i got a reply "and what partner company do you work for?" i wont say what i said but he believed me, but he did say you have to phone a special number to order a phone. ((Message sent to Edi)), i dont knw if the bosses upstairs want to put a telephone number on here for calling? prob not i guess. Edi has the telephone number anyway if anyone wants it. :thumbsup:
Had the same problem Darkovo was asked where got the code from etc, was hoping to get the L6 for my sons birthday next week, any help with how to blag this 1 would be greatfull, and you would make a 12yr old very happy on his birthday morning :thumbsup:
I followed the guideline from edi,and ordered the K750i, had an email confirmimg that Virgin had taken the payment, and phone is being delivered tomorrow. Strange.

My quidco has not tracked either, order placed yesterday at about 10.00 am
I have also received the email saying that they have problems processing the order. I'm not bothered, it's not that good a deal anyway.:pirate:

That Virgin Lobster (HTC Monet/Trilogy) smartphone (and DVB telly as well!) at 160 quid looks VERY tempting!

Quido usually tracks your order within one day. Therefore if you get 20% discount, your quidco will not track your order? Does anyone get both 20% and quicdo 10% discount ?
I got both 20% + 10% Quidco discounts.
BTW, just had a chat with Virgin Mobile regarding Lobster 700TV. Looks like this is not DVB telly but rather DAB telly (yes, the digital radio one). It is possible to transmit video over DAB protocol (I don't know how - not really interested at the moment). The video is not free. Virgin got contract with company called BT Movio and contents is free during first 90 days. Then only BBC channels are available for free and only for another 30 days. And then it is 5 quid/months subscription. They also not sure whether this will work with non-Virgin SIM (technically - why not? unless they got some sort of protection, which is tied to Virgin SIM), but they will unlock phone 7 days after purchase so that one could try.
Decisions, decisions...

How do you get into the lifestyle when you enter the quidco. If I follow the edi's instruction, it doesn't work. I have to paste the part link when I enter the virgin through the quidco. Did you use the same way? I am ordering another phone now, could you please help. Thanks a lot.
Try this:
1. Go to quidco and click there on Virgin link. In your browser you should see something like this: h**p://virginmobile.com/vm/…xxx where "xxxx" is your unique number (do not change it).
2. Clean all Virgin-related cookies in your browser. 3. Edit address in your browser so that it'll look like: h**p://virginmobile.com/vm/[COLOR=olive]lifestyleLanding.do?[/COLOR]partner=xxxxx
it'll be http, not h**p in front, of course, I just do not want forum to hide parts of string.
Does anyone know when this offer finishes please?:thumbsup:

Does anyone know when this offer finishes please?:thumbsup:
I think this offer finished in September 2006 :whistling:
but the page is still showing and the discount worked??
Link not working for me now.
dan1992
Link not working for me now.
still links through quidco ok, but now there's only 7% cashback.
as stated in previous posts, you need to physically change the address of the virgin site you end up on, ie. change ''/home.do'' to ''/lifestyleLanding.do''
when you choose a phone, then enter code 14000, and the 20% discounts applies.
Is this still working?
edit: posted message because i couldnt get the discount box to appear. Now got it. But anyway, this is a cracking deal anyway so deserves to be bumped!
