On Valentine’s Day Virgin Mobile Loves…

14/02/2005

  • T-Mobile’s customers…because with Virgin Mobile Bundles it costs from only 3p to text loved ones on any UK network, at any time.

Want to send a sexy text this Valentine’s Day? Then Virgin Mobile Bundles are the answer. The low-cost monthly packages of minutes, texts and picture messages are available to use on any UK network at any time with texts from just 3p*.

And, unlike other prepay networks Virgin Mobile Bundles last longer – because you can carry over any unused messages (and airtime) to the next month when you buy another Bundle; giving customers excellent value for money without the commitment of a contract.

Graeme Hutchinson, sales and marketing director at Virgin Mobile, said: "Virgin Mobile is seeking fun loving customers with an eye for a great deal, who are looking to get together with a fair and youthful network partner.

“Virgin Mobile concentrates on finding fresh and new ways to make sure its service always offers great value – being helpful, open and fun are important to us; so our customers feel happy and satisfied!”
