Excellent! Brilliant provider - easy to buy and maintain prepaid account
online. Got everything done within 2 working days. The best ever prepaid

Top Ten Facts
1. No hidden costs, no kidding
This may be hard to believe but at Virgin Mobile there are no hidden fees
and no peak/off -peak times. Just great rates, 24/7.
2. Richard Branson is the most wanted boss in
Australia
Richard Branson: entrepreneur; stunt man; nice guy; and face of Virgin.
Whether he’s driving a tank across the Sydney Harbour Bridge or
hosting a tea party on top of a hot air balloon, he knows how to make
an impact. He’s also the #1 boss Australians would want to work
for, according to a Talent2 survey in January 2005.
3. Our ads win fans, and awards
Our Jason D campaign last year was just the latest in a string of award-winning
efforts by our ad gurus. You liked the 5CENT campaign? So did the judges
at the advertising awards in Cannes, France, where Virgin Mobile took
home the prized Titanium Award 2006 for its hip-hop mini-star. And let’s
never forget Warren - in 2004 we picked up a Cannes Lions Grand Prix for
our work with the loveable loser.
4. Call Centre of the Year in 2004
In 2004 we won the CCNG (Call Centre Networks Group) Service Call Centre
of the Year 2004. A call centre that people actually like? Hey, we’re
just doing what comes naturally.
5. Bean Counter saves your beans
Bean Counter is cheap, simple, long-life and all online! With 10c a minute
calls and 10c text it’s the best way to go if you want the convenience
of 100% online account management. No wonder it took out Money Magazine’s
Best of the Best 2007 award for Low-User Plans BYO.
6. Protection from ‘DUI’
DUI? That’s Dialling Under the Influence. And that can be bad. But
with Virgin Mobile you can blacklist any number until 6am the next morning.
No more drunken calls to your ex (their loss), your boss (maybe your loss
– your job, that is) or your partner (let ‘em sleep!)
7. Voicemail is free in Oz
That’s right: no bling bling for the blah blah! You shouldn’t
have to part with your hard earned bucks just because you’re so
popular, you can’t answer all your calls at once!
8. Dial ‘SOS’ for relief from painful
dates
Disastrous date? Not a problem. Just dial SOS (767) from your Virgin Mobile
and we’ll call back with a ready-made excuse for you to get the
heck outta there. Cool huh?! And for 20c a pop it’s a small price
to pay!
9. Tones, pics, games and wallpapers –
get the lot
With Virgin Vibe you can get all the latest greatest of everything that
moves and shakes. From the latest tones for your phone, to the hottest
wallpaper we’ve got what you need!
10. We love our people
Virgin’s philosophy is that a happy employee equals a happy customer.
That’s why our marketing material like brochures often feature the
real stars of Virgin Mobile – our staff. Check it out – chances
are you’re not looking at a model but a bona fide Virgin Mobile
employee.
About Virgin
Mobile
Virgin is one of the most recognised brands in the world,
led by the ever-fearless Sir Richard Branson. We've always stood for top-shelf
products that tap into the latest trends and technology, delivered with
honesty, simplicity and a healthy dose of fun!
And so Virgin Mobile Australia was launched - on 31
October 2000 to be exact - because Richard saw that the Australian telecommunications
industry was dominated by long contracts, small print, expensive products
and companies who simply didn't 'speak' to their customers. In other words,
Australia needed us!
From the beginning we have partnered Virgin brand-values,
funky-products and smiley-service with Optus network technology to guarantee
a fantastic customer experience right across Australia. When we started-up
in 2000, Virgin Mobile Australia was a 50/50 partnership between Virgin
and Optus.
We're passionate about what we do, and we'll always
have fun while getting the job done. We love simple and easy to understand
offers and we hate fine print - that's why our rates are 24/7, our Voicemail
is free and we give you benefits with other companies on top of great
mobile products.
We also pride ourselves on our award-winning customer
service (CCNG Best Service Team 2004) because we truly believe that a
happy team creates a happy customer.
In 2006 we became a wholly owned subsidiary of Optus
and subsequently merged with SIMplus, another Optus subsidiary. We now
have a long-term license agreement for the Virgin brand and maintain a
very strong relationship with the global Virgin 'family'. We continue
to manage our own customers in a distinctly Virgin way.
6 years on, we've revolutionised the Australian market
with our cheeky, fun and fair attitude. We've grown to have stores in
Sydney, Brisbane & Melbourne, employ over 350 people across Australia,
and we now have over 600,000 connected customers. If you're not already
one of them, what are you waiting for - give us a call today! |
