Virgin Mobile gets colourful with the hot new Samsung T100
08/08/2002
Virgin Mobile, the UK’s consumer network, has today added the super stylish Samsung T100 to its sexy `Hot Stuff’ special edition phone range.
Oozing class, the chrome coloured T100 is the latest fashion must-have, with a full colour screen and the ability to make sweet music from 16 polyphonic ringtones – no longer will your phone sound like the local ice-cream van doing the rounds!
When closed, the flip boasts an illuminated blue window, which will let you know who’s calling before you decide to answer. Not just a pretty face on the outside, this phone also sports a personal organiser and a voice memo, ideal when there isn’t a pen and paper handy to record that crucial new number or date in a hurry. It even looks good when you’re not trying out its numerous extra features, sporting an impressive selection of animated colour screensavers.
If you can bear to put this object of desire away then it is compact and smooth enough to slip into even the tightest pair of Earl jeans or the smallest Gucci bag!
The Virgin Mobile Samsung T100 costs £289.99, which includes connection to Virgin Mobile, whether you choose to use pre-pay or pay monthly, and a £5 airtime credit to get you started. It is available now on the Virgin Mobile network by calling 0845 6000 600, visiting www.virgin.com/mobile or on the high street at all Virgin Megastores and V.Shops. If customers buy direct from Virgin Mobile, over the phone or online, there is an extra £10 free airtime included.
Virgin Mobile has no contract, and lets users ‘pay as you want’ – by topping up with credit or debit card, via top-up vouchers, the new E Top Up, or paying monthly by direct debit. Either way, there is no contract or line rental, and the same simple tariff applies, with standard calls charged at 15p/min for the first 5 minutes of use each day, then 5p/min after that.
Virgin Mobile is the only network in the UK to offer a cashback feature in its tariff – the Big Bonus. Customers who are registered and spend £30 or more a month get 10% back in airtime the following month.
