Virgin Mobile presents a 200 mins/200 texts Liberty SIM for £10
05/11/2008
MORE LIBERATION FROM THE CREDIT CRUNCH
Virgin Mobile this week launches a £10 version of the Liberty SIM tariff, which offers 200 minutes and 200. This deal offers more minutes for £10 than any other UK network.
With a monthly rate contract (MRC) of between £10 and £30, and a contract cancellation period of 30 days, Virgin Mobile is giving its customers complete control over how they use their mobile.
WANT THE BEST DEAL IN THE BIZ?
A customer wanting to keep their existing handset and pay a low monthly rate of £10 will get 200 minutes and 200 texts, an industry busting deal at this price point.
WANT FREEDOM?
‘The Liberty SIM’ is all about freedom. That’s why the tariff gives customers the freedom to cancel their contract with just 30 days notice. Customers are also able to transfer their existing number from any network to Virgin Mobile in the space of two days.
WANT A NEW HANDSET TOO?
SIM-only offers are great for those who love their handsets and want to keep them. But if a Virgin Mobile SIM-only customer decides that they do want a shiny new handset they could have already saved up to £100 thanks to ‘The Liberty SIM’ upgrade allowance. For every £100 a customer spends on top up, Virgin Mobile will give them £10 towards their next phone – up to £100 in total. Virgin Mobile is the only network in the UK to offer this upgrade perk to SIM-only customers.
WANT MORE?
Virgin Mobile is always looking to give customers more – that’s why ‘The Liberty SIM’ users get free voicemail retrieval, 24 hours a day. ‘The Liberty SIM’ subscribers also have access to Virgin Mobile’s CRAVE scheme which offers a raft of deals on products and services.
Graeme Oxby, Managing Director of Virgin Mobile commented, "The new £10 SIM-Only tariff offers consumers another option in the SIM-Only market, making it an even more attractive alternative to traditional pay-monthly tariffs."
The 200 mins/200 texts Liberty SIM tariff for £10 is currently available from Virgin Media stores nationwide, online at www.virginmobile.com and over the phone on 0845 600 0070.
