Services
Virgin Mobile sells pay as you go and contract airtime as well as mobile phones.
The company also provides mobile broadband services with speeds of up to 7.2Mbit/s and allowances of 1 and 3GB depending on the chosen package, provided through the EE 3G network. The service includes a Huawei E160 USB modem dongle painted black with a silver Virgin Mobile logo.
Mobile phone and broadband services are also marketed through Virgin Media and its high street stores.
Since early October 2011, Virgin Mobile customers have been able to use the Orange UK network where there is no signal from T-Mobile UK. This followed the merger in 2010 of T-Mobile UK and Orange UK to form EE. The merger led to some areas losing signal after T-Mobile decommissioned areas which already had Orange coverage.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
“We now in the United States have more security guards for the rich than we have police services for the poor districts. If you’re looking for personal security, far better to move to the suburbs than to pay taxes in New York.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
