Got a question about our services?

All our 30-day SIMO plans are rolling contracts. This means that they will automatically renew each month. Unless you make changes to your plan, the cost of your plan will stay the same. However, each April your SIMO plan will increase by the Retail Price Index rate of inflation announced in February +3.9%. We’ll give you 30 days’ notice of the exact increase.

 

Our 30-day SIMO plans provide ultimate flexibility, allowing you to change your plan up or down every month. Your data allowance will stay the same unless you choose to make a change.

 

All our 30-day plans include data rollover. This means that your unused data will roll over to the next month.

Text alerts

We’ll always give you a friendly text before you get too close to your limit when you’ve used 75% of your data, 95%, and then 100%.

£3 per day for each GB you use

But if you do go over, we’ll only charge you £3 per GB for each day you use mobile internet on your phone. Not bad, eh?

Flexibility to switch to a higher tariff - and back down

If you find you’re using more data than your current tariff gives you, you can move up to another tariff that gives you more, whenever you want. You can also move back down again if you find yourself using less data later. We’re flexible like that.

Get the My Virgin Media app 

Oh, and don’t forget, you can download our My Virgin Media app or log into Your Account online to see how much you’ve used so far each month. It’s a great way to stay in control of how much data you use.

Connect to WiFi with our free Connect app 

Download our free Connect app to get unlimited WiFi from over 20 million hotspots across Europe and the USA. Automatically connect and enjoy free, fast WiFi without using up your mobile data allowance.

If you use 4G or 5G to download a 4GB film, you’ll still use the same amount of data. But because 5G is designed to give you a faster connection, you might find it easier to download more films and therefore use more data. Don’t forget you can always set a spending cap to make sure you don’t use more than you want to. And if you need more data, our plans are super easy to switch.

To get 5G, you’ll need a 5G plan with us, as well as a 5G-compatible device and 5G network coverage.

If you get a 5G device on any Pay Monthly plan or a SIM Only plan with us, you’ll enjoy 5G as standard.

If you have a 4G device and plan with us, you’ll just need to finish paying off your phone before you can upgrade. 

Our 5G covers 100 towns and cities across the UK, with many more to come. Use our coverage checker to find out more.

Yes!

You can now add a Spending cap to give you a safety buffer for your plan. Spending caps stop you from being charged for usage beyond a limit specified by you, each month. Charges covered by the cap includes, but is not limited to, going out of your allowance by calling or texting premium or international numbers or roaming outside of the EU. For more detail on what is and isn’t covered, visit our webpage.

Text alerts when you're near your limits

If you’re getting close to your minutes or data limit we’ll buzz you with a text. To stay in control of how many minutes and how much data you use you can download our My Account app or log in to Your Account online and see exactly what you’ve used this month.

Flexibility to change to a new tariff

If you find you’re using more minutes or data than your current tariff can handle you can upgrade to a tariff that gives you more. Or if you find you’re using less, you can move down to a cheaper tariff. We’re totally flexible. For full details of costs outside your tariff, see our pay monthly charges outside your tariff.

Nope. There’s no upfront cost for the SIM, and standard delivery is completely free of charge.

The cost of your airtime tariff will increase in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) rate of inflation at the time with your July bill each year. This is the same for most networks in the UK and we’ll always give you 30 days’ notice of the exact increase so you don’t get any shocks in your bill.

Other than that, any extra charges on your bill would be for extra use outside your tariff. For example, if you use more UK minutes or data than your tariff gives you, if you use your phone abroad, call service numbers, premium SMS services, make calls to numbers abroad, directory enquiries, personal numbering or sending picture messages via MMS. So just keep an eye on that.

For full details of costs for usage outside your tariff, see our pay monthly charges outside your tariff section.

Switching your mobile to Virgin Media has never been so easy. All you’ll need to do is grab a switching code from your current provider – which you can do as soon as you sign up, or later. Whichever suits you.

PAC or STAC?

If you want to bring your number with you, you’ll need a Port Authorisation Code, usually called a PAC.

If you don’t want to bring your number with you, you’ll need a Service Termination Authorisation Code, or STAC.

How to get your switching code

Ready to switch to us? You need to get a Port Authorisation Code (PAC) or Service Termination Authorisation Code (STAC), then give it to us. There are three easy ways to do it.

1. Text PAC to 65075, STAC to 75075, or INFO to 85075 to get your switching information

2. Go to your existing provider’s website and follow the links to Switching

3. Call your existing provider

We’ll ask if you have a PAC or STAC in our online checkout, simply pop your PAC or STAC details in when this happens.

What is refer a friend?

Refer a friend is a brilliant way of rewarding you for introducing your friends and family to Virgin Media, Virgin Mobile or to both Virgin Media and O2 if you’re a customer with Volt benefits.
It’s easy, too – just register your email address to get your unique referral link, or use your exclusive referral code that can be quoted over the phone.

If your friend successfully places an order on the Virgin Media website through your link or code, you’ll both receive a cash reward 60 days after either the install of their services or delivery of a phone or SIM. Or your friend can quote the referral code over the phone when they first place their order (they can’t use the referral code on the website itself).
Share the good stuff and start referring your friends now!

How much money can I earn?

Referring friends and family to Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile, or to Virgin Media and O2 on a Volt package means you can pocket cash rewards.

If your referrals are successful, you can earn up to £50 each for a referral to Virgin Media, and for Virgin Mobile you’ll get up to £15 each for a SIM only referral or up to £50 each if you refer a mobile phone. You can see how much you’ve earnt by signing in to your referral account with Virgin Media’s referral partner, Aklamio.

Just head here and select ‘sign in’.

And what’s more, you can refer as many mates as you like!

Where can I get an overview of my rewards?

You can check out an overview of your referrals, their status, and the rewards you’ve earned by signing in to your referral account with Virgin Media’s referral partner, Aklamio. Just head here and click ‘sign in’. We’ll also email you as soon as your referral account is credited from a successful referral.

How and when will my friend and I receive our cash reward?

Your friend will be eligible for the reward at the same time as you are. After your friend has had their services installed for 60 days, or if it’s a mobile order 60 days after the phone or SIM is delivered, you’ll both be eligible for a reward providing they’ve not cancelled their new contract within this time.

Once the cancellation period has expired, we’ll send your rewards to Virgin Media’s referral partner, Aklamio. In some cases, it can take up to nine weeks after your mate’s services have been installed or their phone delivered for Aklamio to pop the reward in your referral accounts. Aklamio will contact you when the rewards have been confirmed, and both of you can have it paid into either your bank account or PayPal account at any time from your referral accounts.

Can I refer any Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile package?

Refer a friend works for any Virgin Media service; that’s superfast broadband, digital TV and home phone or our Volt packages when you’re a customer of both Virgin Media and O2. It also works for Virgin Mobile pay monthly SIM only contracts and pay monthly mobile phones. There are a few offers that you can’t refer friends to, including Mates Rates, My Rates, Tribe, Partner Rates and any contract less than 12 months.

If your friend wants to get Virgin Media, just check they’re able to receive our services in their area. If you're not sure, visit our shop and check which services they can get (you’ll need their postcode and address).

What are the conditions to getting a referral reward?

  • You can only get a reward from referring the services, mobile phones and SIM contracts outlined in the ‘Can I refer any Virgin Media, or Virgin Mobile or Volt package?’ question above.
  • For the order to be eligible for a reward, it needs to be placed using your unique referral link or code. So if you refer a friend online, they must use your referral link. If they take up your referral in a Virgin Media store, or with our Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile sales team over the phone then they need to quote your referral code at the point of sale.
  • The friend you refer must be new to Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile. You can’t refer an existing customer or anyone who’s had Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile within the last six months.
  • Any new customers who haven’t joined through the referral links or codes won’t be eligible for a cash reward.
  • The right to a reward is subject to the general terms and conditions of Virgin Media’s referral partner, Aklamio.
  • Just remember that you’ll only get a reward for successful referrals, meaning your friend has to have had their services installed for 30 days, or it’s been 30 days after their phone or SIM has been delivered. You will then receive your reward in the following 30 days.
  • You won’t be rewarded for referring a product to yourself, and for any referrals that extend or change an existing customer’s Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile contract.

When can I start referring my friends?

Right now! Refer your friends here.

How many referrals can I make?

As many as you like! The more the merrier. Just remember that you’ll only get a reward for successful referrals, meaning your friend has to have had their services installed for 60 days, or it’s been 60 days after their phone or SIM has been delivered.

I’m not a Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile customer. Can I still recommend someone?

Yes, you can! We make sure we reward everyone who successfully refers someone to us.

Virgin Media customers are also eligible for exclusive mobile deals, so there’s never been a better time to join.

How do I find out what the amount of each reward is?

Depending on what you recommend, the rewards can vary. Check out the rewards overview section to find out more.

I’ve signed in to my referral account.  What do the different reward status descriptors mean in the dashboard?

Pending – Once an order has been successfully placed through a referral link or code, a pending reward will be received by both the referrer and their friend.

Confirmed – Once the 30 day cancellation period has expired, your reward will be confirmed ready to be paid out within the following 30 days.

Rejected – Your reward will be rejected if the conditions have not been met. If you don’t think your reward should have been rejected, get in touch with Virgin Media’s referral partner Aklamio by calling them on 01576 820030 or sending an email to virgin-media@aklamio.com

Why was my reward rejected?

Rewards aren’t paid if:

  1. The friend you referred may have cancelled their Virgin Media or Virgin Mobile services
  2. The friend you referred didn’t join us via your unique referral link or code."
  3. The friend you referred is an existing customer or has had Virgin Media, Virgin Mobile or is both a Virgin Media and O2 customer with Volt benefits within the last six months
