Virgin Mobile has this week launched ‘The Liberty SIM’ to customers across the UK, offering a fantastic SIM-only deal that means monthly contract-busting rates with close to pre-pay flexibility.
With a monthly rate contract (MRC) of between GBP 15 and GBP 30 and a contract cancellation period of 30 days, Virgin Mobile is giving its customers complete control over how they use their mobile and at a highly competitive price.

• WANT THE BEST DEAL IN THE BIZ?- A customer wanting to keep their handset and pay a low monthly rate of 15GBP could choose between 300 minutes and 300 texts or 150 minutes and 1000 texts, an industry busting deal at this end of the market.
• WANT FREEDOM? - ‘The Liberty SIM’ is all about freedom. That’s why the tariff gives customers the freedom to cancel their contract with just 30 days notice. And from 1 April, changes to porting laws mean customers will be able to transfer their existing number from any network to Virgin Mobile in the space of two days.
• WANT A NEW HANDSET TOO? - SIM-only offers are great for those who love their handsets and want to keep them. But if a Virgin Mobile SIM-only customer decides that they do want a shiny new handset they could have already saved up to GBP 100 thanks to ‘The Liberty SIM’upgrade allowance. For every GBP 100 a customer spends, Virgin Mobile will give them GBP 10 towards their next phone – up to GBP 100 in total. Virgin Mobile is the only network in the UK to offer this upgrade perk to SIM-only customers.
• WANT MORE? - Virgin Mobile is always looking to give customers more – that’s why ‘The Liberty SIM’users get free voicemail retrieval, 24 hours a day. ‘The Liberty SIM’subscribers also have access to Virgin Mobile’s CRAVE scheme which offers a raft of deals on products and services.

Graeme Oxby, Managing Director of Virgin Mobile commented, “The Liberty SIM represents a fantastic opportunity for cost conscious consumers who don’t want to be tied into a lengthy contract.�
“Many people don’t realise that the supposedly ‘free’ handset they are offered with a monthly contract is actually subsidised by increased monthly rates. Liberty SIM is a great alternative for people who are currently happy with their handset and would rather save 10GBP per month than pay extra for a new phone when there’s nothing wrong with their old one.�
‘The Liberty SIM’ is available from Wednesday 12 March from Virgin Media stores nationwide, online at www.virginmobile.com and over the phone on 0845 600 0070.
