Virgin Media offers mobile "Addict" tariff

Comments

• are you crazy, if your information is right , and this "addict" (bad word), tariff is 20p per minute, thats ....
  
  a wapping £12.00 an hour just for Virgin Media's so called "unlimited" mobile internet access..... and at what speed *UPLOAD* and download is it ?
  
  
  no one with any sense really cares about SMS " text messages" when you have mobile internet, so making that messaging your key point in all your broadband internet news is a wast of copy....
  
  although at 10p per message that too is a rip off.... Posted by pip, UK, (in a VM cable , and Be 2.5 Mbit upload area
• Sorry "pip" can you not read?
  
  "The tariff's standard rates for calls is 20p per minute"
  Thats... CALLS... 20p per minute. Not internet.
  
  Also, what world are you living in? 10p per text for no minimum spend is still the best on the market. And, as soon as you spend £10 you get 300 for free... Posted by Rich Bishop, UK
• i can read just fine thanks, other sites actually give you far more accurate information on this

  "Virgin Mobile PAYG
  Although the new tariff promises unlimited texts and internet access, there’s a fair use limit of 3000 texts a month and a 25MB daily internet usage cap and monthly download limit of 1GB.
  
  To qualify for the texts messages and internet access, users will also have to top up £20 per month.
  
  But if you top up £15 you'll get 600 free texts per month and a £10 top up earns 300 free texts."
  
  "fair use" and "unlimited" just dont work together, rip-off VM and their so called "unlimited" services yet again.
  
  you might be happy to pay OTT prices for something that costs them something like £0.0001P per tx message on their spare bandwidth.
  
  but as i already said, who cares when you have a broadband connection.
  
  or that is, until you reach VM's crumby 3000 tiny txts, your 25MB *daily* wireless internet usage cap and/or the monthly download limit of 1GB, then your really stuffed. Posted by pip, UK, in a VM cable , and Be 2.5 Mbit upload area
• The Virgin "unlimited" internet offer is a total scam. Yes we expect a fair usage policy but 25mb and agter that 2 quid a MB - that is a blatant rip off. 10 minutes on Youtube and there goes your daily limit. Download a 99p song from the net and you will end up paying 10 quid in data charges. Virgin really sucks Posted by Gerry, UK
