Neither is everyone elses, but the T-mobile deal is at least challenging other networks and their prices.

However if you look on the flext tariffs interactive chart on their website and line the mins and texts to virgins deal you will find Virgin offer a better deal. However the whole point of flext is that it is flexiable, however if you will stick to those minutes its great deal but if you don't then go with Flext since it is flextable.

very true but bare in mind at the moment flext 35 is only £26.25 direct with tmobile for life. so if your after a mobile at this moment in time tmobile is the cheapest and best deal,also bear in mind that virgin do not do call divert wich for some people is important.

oh yeah agree the Tmobile introduction price is the best, but virgin's new tariffs are deff very impressive, it will certainly add a lot of heat to the other networks. The only catch on the Tmobile deal is that if you change tariffs you loose the good deal.
Im not sure about your divert option, im on pay and go and i get call holding, waiting and i have the option for call diverting but have not tried it that perticular option, but call holding etc works fine. But i trust you.:D
When the Tmobile introduction is finish then maybe the virgin deal will strike hard. It seems like Virgin want more contract customers since these new prices are very aggressive. Their last contracts were poor but these news ones are very impressive worth keeping an eye on them... I scanned other network offers and these are deff very competive.

the thing is that its brilliant for us the customer,god knows what orange were thinking with there new tariffs.i hope they all follow tmobile for great tariffs maybe virgin are starting because ntl has bought them out lol. and need to get some money back.i have got 3 months left on my virgin contract and i cannot wait to end it,and stick with my tmobile tariff.the reason why i know they dont do call divert is i tried to divert it to my works phone last month and they said they dont support it.

fair enough.
Yeah Orange have gone really weird with their new tariffs.. not worth it. Voda will take ages to move and three... well they will always be around. The Tmobile contracts are very good and very clever i hope other networks do follow suit soon. But im glad virgin FINALLY offer contracts that are for once competive... i wouldnt get one im more than happy with their PAYG service I have had too many contracts for a while...
