Virgin Mobile joins the sub-£10 tariff club

Virgin Mobile has joined the 'sub-£10 mobile tariff club' offering customers' a tariff for £8.50 per month, giving low users greater choice for a deal that suits their needs.

James Parker, mobile manager at moneysupermarket.com, said: "At a time when households are looking at ways to save money or keep costs down, these sub-£10 tariffs are a great way to help. Whether it's someone looking for a bit more than a PAYG deal or a parent looking to control their child's phone bill, these deals offer great value for money.

"These are ideal for consumers with low monthly usage, as they provide all the benefits of a monthly contract, the security of always having credit but also the ability to keep costs as low as a PAYG deal.

"Virgin Mobile, the latest entrant to this group, easily offers the best value from the sub-£10 tariffs currently available. The fact Virgin also offer a high spec handset makes the deal even more attractive and will prove a great alternative for customers typically shopping for a PAYG deal and buying a handset up front."
