Virgin Mobile today welcomed Oftel’s mobile phone competition review
18/02/2001
Commenting on Oftel’s report, a Virgin Mobile spokesman said: “We are pleased that the report recognises Virgin Mobile’s innovative tariff structure and SIM-only campaign. We believe that our entry into the market has helped to increase competition. In particular, as far as international rates are concerned, one of Oftel’s chief concerns, we are fiercely competitive - 20p per minute for calls to the USA and Australia for example.
We agree with Oftel that greater price transparency and more consumer awareness is still needed. In particular, Virgin Mobile will continue to campaign for operators to allow consumers to switch as easily as possible."
