Morning all! Well, it’s Monday and yes, I’m actually still alive. We thought we’d covered all the Virgin Media deals in this early post but no, there’s more. Tucked away in the SIM-only deals are a couple of corkers. Now, I should point out that these are 4G-only …

Hold up, it’s not for all smartphones, but Virgin Mobile have added a completely free screen repair service on some top-end models, including the Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Those phones, I think it goes without saying, are expensive to …

Regulator Ofcom is looking into a ban on the sale of phones which are locked to particular networks. Networks that currently don’t lock their phones include Sky Mobile, Three UK, iD Mobile, BT Mobile and giffgaff; but other networks do. The origins of this came from the fact that handsets …

Black Friday isn’t until next week, but it looks like the boys from Virgin Media are already starting. The network runs (currently) on EE masts but will be switching across to Vodafone ones soon enough. They’ve got an offer on SIM only plans which looks pretty hot. Sure, …

There’s a number of “virtual” operators to choose from when you’re looking to get a new mobile or a SIM. You really shouldn’t shy away from them either, because they’re as good as the “big four” for the most part. Under the hood though, they’ll use the masts …

Whilst sorting out this “little issue” with Three last night, I spotted this rather tasty SIM-only plan from Virgin. It delivers 6GB fo 4G data, 1500 minutes of calls and unlimited texts on a 12 month contract. A mere £9 for this. Boom! You’ll be sitting on the …

Yesterday many customers of the MVNO, which runs on EE masts, found themselves unable to use the network fully. Problems seemed to be pretty wide-ranging, and included making calls, sending text messages and using mobile data. The network took to social media late last night too blame a …

The PR peeps from Virgin have been in touch and tell me that you can either grab the iPhone 8, the iPhone X or the Samsung Galaxy S10 with a stonking 100GB of data for a mere £4 more than their 1GB pricing. Pretty cool eh? And that’s …

OK, so after the leaks we got a look at the P30 and the P30 Pro from Huawei here in Paris. As we expected, there’s a clever camera setup with a 10x zoom. The P30 Pro gets a Leica Quad Main Camera, whilst the P30 has a Leica …

Right, got to be quick with this one because apparently we’re already entering into “last minute gifts”-territory and I still don’t have any presents purchased. If you fancy getting 12GB of monthly data and like EE coverage, sign up to this Virgin Mobile deal. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got Virgin …

So, Virgin Mobile (operating on EE masts) have gone a bit nuts and are doing a massive 200GB of data each month for a mere £20. That’s £10 less than the normal price and you don’t need to be an existing Virgin Media customer to take it up. …
