Emailed Virgin about it and got the following reply, sounds very good!

"We have some fantastic news for you. Soon, you'll be able to text other Virgin Mobile phones for free in the UK. It all starts from the 28th of April 2006 and it lasts until the 30th of September 2006. That's all summer long!

You can send up to 1000 texts a month to other Virgin Mobile phones in the UK. And it won't cost you a single penny.

What's more, it doesn't matter how you pay – all our customers can text each other for free. So if you're on a bundle, or a Pay Monthly contract, you won't pay a single penny, or lose a single text from your monthly allowance either – every text to other Virgin Mobile phones is free in the UK.

And just to let you know, while texts to other Virgin Mobile phones are free, the rest of our costs will stay exactly the same. It'll still cost just 10p to text another network in the UK and only 30p to send a picture message anywhere in the world. The cost of texts to shortcode services and group text services will stay exactly the same too. You can check out all our costs online at virgin.com/mobile.

There are a few terms and conditions around our free text offer, too. Your free texts are for your personal use only and you won't be able to take them with you from month to month. You can check out all the legal stuff online or by talking to our team on 789."

what do you all think?:)

What abot drop their prices, even on contract. Or designing a good wap site , the one they have is so CRAP, and they now charge 30p per day for it , I love Virgin, I think its a good network, but I cant even get the news headlines on their wap site I have to go out ot it.

I agree about the WAP it is poor, why dont you email them about it? They do listern.

I think Virgin will change over next 12months now that NTL is on the boat, think these are good times for it. Their summer of text is a great idea, now if it only stayed permanment,maybe they're just testing the waters out with real life testing :rolleyes:

I've come across something even better:

Free 'texts' for life by gprs. To any mobile, anywhere, any time......

This really does seem to be a genuine offer; who cares if the site's a bit clunky?

Have a look at www.tex2me.com

I'm saving a fortune.

Let me know how you get on.

Not really free texts, you've got to have clumbsy software on your phone and the recipient has to have it on their to receive it, how naff. You have to poll for new text messages since they aren't pushed to your phone. It's a waste of time, dont bother with it.
