Virgin Mobile €10 per month

Not a hope with vodafone.

They have €10 for 12 months now for black "red" Friday "November" if you have not gone ahead with it yet.

I am happy overall it's very good network. I have a duel sim phone so have Virgin and Vodafone in the other. Virgin always has better reception and Internet is much better.

I just cancel it once the 12 months is up or 8 months or 6 months. And start again with another sim. I keep vodafone as my original number and use Virgin for Internet and phone calls when required.

I signed up to the €10 for 12 months this time last year. I rang them earlier and asked if they'd extend it for another 12 months but they wouldn't as I'm an existing customer.

Are there any other networks doing similar deals?

What's the best rolling contract offer at €20 or below? I get confused by the number of different ones. Looking for unlimited calls/texts/data and best possible coverage.

So o signed up for this in store last Friday for my kid

the forms gone through then online later on to port the number over

but when we get to the bit where they are supposed to validate the existing number by sending you a text with a PIN, it just never comes through. It say don’t worry if you don’t get it and tells you that you can just try again (red flag to me and must be. Known provo)

Tried at least 10 times now on different days and different times. Nothing. What is odd is that putting in your virgin new number is pre populated with 35389….. (no +) but entering your own number only allows 87…. Without prefix or even a 0.

anyone else having similar issues? Or know how to sort without having to traipse back to the shop

Virgin offer is now €5 a month for 6 months on a rolling 30 day contract.

Unless you are abroad where you can only get 2g or 3g which is being discontinued in some countries.

Got my Virgin SIM, tried to switch today.

Put the SIM in. The first text I got was a link to setting up internet APN settings. Takes you to a page which doesn't list the settings, but makes you choose a specific device first. Every device I tried just hung endlessly loading. Had to google the APN settings.

Second text was a link to how to port your number. The URL was wrong, it just redirected to the main mobile sales page with no mention of porting. Had to google the porting URL.

Entered porting details, got a text a while later saying porting has failed as I had supplied the wrong current provider. I hadn't, but tried again just in case. Got the same text again.

One of the texts said I could port by calling 1908. After going through automated menu hell I eventually got through ... to a recording tellling me the current wait is over 20 minutes.

When your customer support is so bad you're actively preventing people joining, it's time to run. I'm filling in the cancellation form and sticking with 48.

Are you able to sub again for the 5e a-month deal, if you already got it?

It seems to allow you to, but they might land you with a big bill afterwards at full whack if not
