£15 free calls when you buy direct from Virgin Mobile
Anyone buying a new phone direct from Virgin Mobile, the UK’s fifth network operator, will receive an extra £10 free airtime. The new deal begins on 1st July and is on top of the £5 airtime already provided on every Virgin Mobile SIM card. So, buy direct and get £15 worth of free calls. Customers can take advantage of this offer by purchasing a mobile phone through Virgin Mobile’s direct sales team on 0845 6000 600, or from its website, www.virgin.com/mobile. There is no expiry date on the free airtime.
Virgin Mobile is committed to providing good value for money and was the first operator to scrap peak rate calls and introduce a daily discounting tariff. This is a no-nonsense, no-contract tariff; calls cost 15p per minute for the first five minutes of use each day, and 5p per minute after that.
Virgin Mobile is the only network in the UK to offer a cashback feature in its tariff – the Big Bonus. Customers who spend £30 or more a month get 10% back in airtime the following month. That’s the equivalent of at least 30 free UK text messages. Again, there is no limit on the length of time customers have to use their free airtime, they just need to pay monthly by direct debit.
Graeme Hutchinson, Sales Director at Virgin Mobile, said: “Customers continue to be our first priority at Virgin Mobile and we are always keen to introduce more benefits for them. A £10 free airtime bonus for buying direct – over the web or the phone – is a great benefit with no strings attached.”
