Even if you choose a plan with unlimited calling , you'll need to keep your conversations to 60 minutes so that they remain free - you will be amortized as you go about an hour mark.

Which rate is right for me ?

If you want the most generous data , text and inclusive minute deal, go straight to the VIP -only SIM rate. The £ 15 a month 30 day contract provides unlimited calls, texts and data , which means you can chat , message and download without fear of exceeding your benefit.

All plans have a fair use policy , and you will find that even the VIP SIM -only fare , which advertises unlimited data actually has a 3.5 GB monthly limit. You can read about how this effects is by reading our in-depth guides for each SIM - only offer. Affect you

The provider states that you should expect speeds up to 384Kbps on its 3G network - but points out that the actual speeds that can reach may be higher or lower depending on the device you are using and your location at the moment.

If you spend a lot of time in the capital , you can save your payment information and get free access to Wi - Fi on the escalators , walkways and ticket halls of the London Underground network , while making it easier to keep in touch. Moving

What about 'binding' ?

If you plan on using your phone for "bind" - where you can share your data connection with other devices Contracts Virgin Mobile is that you can not. By doing this, you could end up using data faster than if you just browse on your handset , as you probably download full versions of those sites you visit instead of mobile - friendly. This is especially likely if you have tethered. Your phone to a laptop
In theory , mobile operators can easily track if you are bind by checking how many takes 'steps' every packet on its journey from their servers via your handset and your destination device.

Our Recommends

The right package for you depends entirely on what you want from your mobile phone contract - but we would choose the Virgin Mobile VIP to get unlimited data , texts and minutes SIM only deal.
Six essential questions before you buy
There are six key questions to ask to find out if a Virgin Mobile SIM only deal is right for you.
Virgin Mobile offers adequate coverage where you live ?

If you keep your existing phone happy?


  • Do you need to unlock your current handset to use with Virgin Mobile?
  • Are you looking for a flexible 30 day contract?
  • If you are not affected by the lack of international data for iPhones ?
  • You can make a payment by direct debit set up to Virgin Mobile?
  • How do I go to Virgin Mobile ?

Virgin Mobile recommends that if you are about to move to its network plan and want to keep the old number , you need a PAC code ( which stands for Porting authorization code ) applications from your previous provider. If you request this when you let your network know that you're leaving , it should transfer your existing number to Virgin Mobile's much easier. You must act quickly , however, as PACs only 30 days after they are issued. You will also find that Virgin Mobile will not be able to move your number over the weekend or during the holidays and the switch could take up to 24 hours of power.

Our Recommends

Picking the perfect package can be tricky , but given the importance of included minutes , texts and data is up to you and what your budget should help you decide.

  • Are you ready to get it unlocked as it was earlier on another network ?
