Top Ten Facts on Virgin Mobile


Why We're Different

At Virgin Mobile, we do our very best to give people what they want. We concentrate on finding fresh ways to make our service better than everyone else's: more value, more honesty, more help, more fun.

Here are ten facts you might or might not already know about us.

1. Virgin Mobile is the UK’s most successful virtual network operator

Virgin Mobile is now established as the most successful virtual network operator in the UK, using T-Mobile's network.

2. Over 5 million customers

3. Virgin Mobile is one of the best places to work in the UK

Virgin Mobile ranked 72nd overall in 'The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to work for 2005'. This makes us the 3rd best in the South West. Virgin Mobile is the only phone company to make the Top 100 in this list.

4. No hidden costs

With Virgin Mobile there's no peak rates, no hidden charges, and voicemail retrieval is free in the UK.

5. Red is for rewards

Earn up to £100 off your next phone. Virgin Mobile makes it easy - for every £100 you spend on calls and messages we'll give you £10 off a new phone. That is up to a maximum of £100 on any new phone in our range.

6. Our bundles last longer

We've bundled together mixes of minutes, texts and picture messages. There are no daily limits or time of day restrictions and unused airtime can be carried over for another month if you buy another bundle.

7. Boredom sucks, Virgin Mobile Bites

This is why Virgin Mobile has come up with 'bite-sized boredom-busters' available on your mobile. Virgin Mobile Bites entertains our customers by offering exclusive content, including celebrity gossip, music news and reviews and quizzes to keep boredom at bay.

8. Award-winning customer satisfaction

Virgin Mobile has the most contented and satisfied pre-pay customers of any mobile communications provider in the UK, according to the independent researchers JD Power and Associates.

9. Enjoy great text
