What change of tariff? How have they lost customers? Can you get a better deal than 300 mins and 300 texts for a tenner a month?

I currently do not do enough SMS and Voice to warrent £10.00 a month.
I would like to do a little MMSing and GPRS internet browsing, but it looks like that is billed outside of the 300SMS/Mins.
So it looks like PAYG may be my best option.
But these Rumblings have me intersted, anyone know any more ?
Cheers Bashy...

Re: thinking about getting the 300/300 sim card
I'd love to be on Virgin's Mobile network - Just T-Mobile/Virgin has EXTREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMLY poor reception where I live, to get one bar you have to stand on chairs upstairs (tuff luck if your downstairs).

I'm also thinking of getting the 300/300 sim card, but I hear the coverage is not as good as other service providers. Any comments?

Re: thinking about getting the 300/300 sim card
I used to be on 02 and there is a slight difference in rural areas around where i live but still get signal in 99% of places I got to (I work as a postman covering holidays so go to different areas every week).
If your wanting to 300/300 deal you had better move quickly http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/93...customers.html has the new pricing/package structure

Re: thinking about getting the 300/300 sim card
I live in Manchester. I worked in Urmston which is about 3.5 miles from where I live, and that's about 8 miles from the city centre. My first mobile was with Virgin. The reception out and about was above average. I did find a few place in Manchester where the phone tended to be searching for signal.
In the shop where I worked, the phone almost died when I entered. It was not possible to make or take calls there. Orange and Vodaphone both worked fine with a full signal.
I now use Orange and Three. Both of these are excellent. I did notice whilst using Virgin that the phone needed charging a lot more.
Hope this helps.

Re: thinking about getting the 300/300 sim card
Virgin use T-Mobile's network. If you get T reception you will get Virgin. If you don't get reception and your phone is eearching all the time then your battery life will be worse - it's the searching that's the problem, if you have reception your battery life will be the same as any other network.

That's why I've mentioned the searching in my post. :-)

No it doesn't rollover

It also becomes 200/200 if you take it out after the 12 May

Roll over facility is being removed from May / June.
Still think it is good for £10.00

[QUOTE=bikeman;34543359]Rollover ended 28th April.[/QUOTE
But as my partner never gets anywhere near 300 mins or texts it's still a bargain for her at a tenner a month - on PAYG 100 texts would cost you that unless you're on a text plan in which case a few voice mins would push you over. For a light user it is still the best available, but everyone's needs are different.

Re: thinking about getting the 300/300 sim card
I've been looking at this deal too, I pay a subscription for an online game using my current Tesco PAYG phone which is just taken off my credit, would I be charged extra for doing this or would they just take it off say my text allowance? I'm assuming I'd be charged extra for at the moment
