Virgin Media warns customers to ‘take action’ or their mobile phone will stop working

Speaking about the move, Virgin said: “We regularly review our offerings to make sure we’re meeting our customers’ needs and usage.

“After careful review, we’ve decided to close our Pay As You Go services and focus on providing even greater Pay Monthly plans.

“You have at least 3 months to switch to Pay Monthly or request your PAC, after we have notified you”.

If you’d rather not wait to hear from Virgin about when your PAYG sim will stop working you can call 789 to discuss it.

Virgin Media, who has just merged with O2, added their “friends at O2 offer a great Pay As You Go service”.

Virgin went on to say: “Don’t forget to use up your credit up before our Pay As You Go service ends or request a refund for any leftover credit”.
