About Virgin Mobile

Virgin Mobile (Virgin Media Mobile) offers consumer handset and SIM deals with the familiar Virgin Media brand. It can be attractive if you already take Virgin broadband or TV and want mobiles under a brand you know.

Business customers are typically directed to Virgin Media O2 Business tariffs rather than the consumer shop. Coverage should be checked on Virgin’s mobile coverage pages before you switch.

Compare Virgin Mobile with O2 and Sky Mobile if lifestyle branding and household bundles matter to you.

Network coverage: Virgin Media / O2 group coverage (check local details on site)

Typical plan types: Consumer phones and SIM-only; business via Virgin Media O2 Business

Quick highlights when comparing Virgin Mobile phone deals, SIM plans, and business tariffs.

O2 masts, Virgin Media bill

Virgin Mobile uses the Virgin Media O2 radio network. Coverage is an O2 check.

Not the cheapest raw SIM

giffgaff or Tesco Mobile can undercut on the same masts if you do not need the Virgin brand.

Always confirm current network/coverage details on the live site
