A guide to

your Virgin
Mobile Plan
Charges for our Pay Monthly plans

Charges effective from 1st Dec 2020

Tariff guide
We’ve put together this handy guide to give you all the information you
need about the cost for services outside your Virgin Mobile Pay Monthly
Plan, both within and outside your plan including calls, texts, picture
messaging and data in the UK, calls and texts to international numbers
or whilst roaming.
Should you have any questions then do not hesitate to call us for free on
789 from your Virgin Mobile or on 0345 6000 789 from any other phone
(check your provider’s tariff guide for charges).
Your plan will include a monthly allowance for Voice, Texts and Data for
use within the UK (to standard UK landlines starting with 01, 02, 03 and
UK Mobiles). Note that any unused Voice and Text allowance will not roll
over to the following month. If you are on one of our fantastic 4G tariffs
any unused data allowance will rollover to the following month.
Each July your Airtime Contract will increase in line with the Retail Price
Index rate of inflation announced the April before and we will always
give you 30 days’ notice of the exact increase each year.
All charges include UK Value Added Tax (VAT) unless stated otherwise.
