The V.Essentials

11/11/1999

  1. Buy a phone. Then it's all yours - no catches. Get connected. Pay only for calls you make. No calls, no charges.

    Buy direct: over the phone or the internet. Buy on the High Street: in Virgin Megastores and Our Price.

    Choose from a great range of state-of-the-art handsets: no chunky old clunkers.

    Connect for life: Virgin Mobile has no catches, no ties, no monthly line rentals, no hidden service charges and no fixed-term contracts.

    In fact, you'll never be charged another penny unless you make a call!

  2. It's cheap, cheaper and cheapest. The more you call each day, the cheaper it gets.

    One simple tariff which only gets cheaper. It costs 15p a minute for first ten minutes each day, 10p a minute for the next ten, and 5p a minute for up to 23 hours 40 minutes after that!

    Use the phone whenever you like, at any time of day. No peak or off-peak rates.

    Pay how you like: as-you-go with vouchers that last forever; as-you-go by credit or debit card; or later by direct debit.

    No complicated tariffs: the rate is the same however you choose to pay. Just clear and transparent prices.

    The more you call each day, the cheaper calls become.*

    Free voicemail. Why pay for your messages?

  3. And enjoy it! Use Virgin Mobile for e-commerce. The V.button gives huge savings on Virgin and other services:

    - 10% off long-haul Virgin Holidays, 10% off Virgin Sun for holidays to Europe
    - 10% of CDs and music worth over £20
    - Discount on RAC's new Red motor recovery service
    - Combined savings could pay for your phone and calls within a year
    - Book Virgin Trains and other train company's tickets at the touch of a button
    - Special offers on Virgin Atlantic, and other services, sent direct to your phone

  4. Virgin Mobile. V.different

*Daily call trigger begins at 4am, when most people are asleep, allowing customers to continue to make calls after midnight, before going back to bed, at potentially the cheapest rate of 5p a minute.
