Addicted to Virgin Addict Virgin's new Addict tariff frees up the internet on PAYG phones

Like a Virgin? We do at the moment. In particular Virgin Media for announcing its Addict tariff for pay as you go customers. What exactly does that entail? Only unlimited texts and unlimited access to the internet on your mobile without all he hassle of a pesky monthly contract.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, it isn’t. If you just top your PAYG phone by £20 a month the Virgin Addict tariff will grant you unlimited texts and net access, which means you can keep abreast of the latest England cricket scores without fear of missing the last England man’s dismissal before your credit runs out.

You want to know figures? Well, the Virgin Addict tariff unlimited net access allows you 1GB per month. Alternatively, you can still download up to 25MB per day for just 30p! That’s the equivalent of 30 penny sweets (we knew our maths GCSE would come in handy one day)!

Frugal types will also benefit with offers for those who spend less a month. Top up with a tenner and you’ll get 300 texts, throw in an extra fiver and the Addict tariff will give you 600 free texts a month. Our thumbs are twitching with nervous excitement…
