This from the Virgin Media Community forum this morning.


"Looks like some of the help articles have been updated with 4G information.

If you go to https://m.virginecare.com then you will see that this page now has a new look - especially when you access this page using your Virgin Mobile phone! Quite well done actually!

The 4G help articles can be accessed if you click on the Help section at the bottom of the page and there you will see a whole section dedicated to 4G."

This was posted over at the Digitalspy forums:

"Take this as you will, but this appears to be the pricing for the 4G plans, which will launch next monday

Quote:
£6: 300 Mins, unlimited texts, 300MB data

£9: 1500 Mins, unlimited texts, 1GB data

£12: 2500 Mins, unlimited texts, 2GB data

£15: 2500 Mins, unlimited texts, 4GB data

£25: 5000 Mins, unlimited texts, 20GB data "

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016

"Virgin Media is to test Europe’s net neutrality rules after launching 4G services in the UK that offer free access to Facebook’s messaging apps WhatsApp and Messenger.

Those services will be “zero rated", meaning that they can be used without eating into a customer’s data allowance.

Although EU telecoms regulations do not forbid zero-rating, guidelines published by the Body of European Regulators for Electronic Communications — which will oversee the enforcement of the rules — have curtailed its usage. Networks are prohibited from providing free access to some apps if the data allowance is used up, for example."

Re: Consumer 4G launching October 2016
