Virgin Mobile Loves…

16/02/2005

  • O2’s customers…because Virgin Mobile gives free airtime to its customers every month they spend £30 or more to call anyone on any network.

If you love to talk and text then you can earn free minutes on Virgin Mobile. When you spend over £30 a month on calls and messages you get 10% back in free airtime the month after to make more calls to friends and family on any network*.

Any calls or texts made within the UK or abroad count towards the free airtime, with no time limit on when it has to be used. Giving customers more and more reasons to keep calling their loved ones.

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!”
