Buy a Sony J5 mobile and get a Sony Discman free!
Virgin Mobile, the UK's fifth network, is launching a promotion with Sony, one of the world's greatest entertainment companies. Buy a Sony CMD-J5 Mobile phone from Virgin Mobile in October and you will receive a free Sony Discman too*!
The Sony J5 is a lightweight little number with an identity crisis. It's packed full of features - is it a phone, a computer or a games console? You can text and play games, as well as surf the web. You can even choose your favourite tunes and store them as funky ringtones. All this, and a Sony Discman for £129.99!
In stylish silver, the slim new Sony Discman DE221 (worth £59.00**) comes with ESPMAX shock protection, digital mega bass, AVLS and headphones.
Says, Graeme Hutchinson, Sales Director of Virgin Mobile: "This offer brings together Virgin's heritage of music and entertainment with its latest service of mobile telephony. For under £130 customers can get not one but two early Christmas presents, plus connection to Virgin Mobile's great service."
Virgin Mobile makes owning a phone simple as there are no hidden costs - you own your handset outright and you only pay for the calls you make. There's no contract to sign, no monthly line rental and no service charge. Virgin Mobile has one clear tariff which means that calls are about the cheapest around: 15p per minute for the first 5 minutes of use each day, then only 5p per minute after that. There are no hidden charges or stings in the tail - if you don't use the phone you don't pay. Virgin Mobile's tariff, with its 'Big Bonus' feature, also means that customers who spend £30 in a month receive 10% of this amount back as an airtime credit the following month.
Get your Sony J5 Virgin Mobile phone and Sony Discman from any Virgin Megastore , V.SHOP or Our Price, by calling direct on 0845 6000 600 or from the web at www.virgin.com/mobile. The promotion runs from the beginning of October until stocks last.
*Offer available from October 1st while stocks last
**Price of £59.00 as at www.grelectrical.com correct on 25/09/01
