sid Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I've had a Virgin prepay SIM for my mobile phone since July last year. I don't use the phone very much and chose this prepay account because it had a 90-day validity on the top-up amount. I've just gone online to top-up this evening and find that the prepay accounts are now different (there are now 3 types) and mine is now a "Very Long" [:$] account, and a top-up of 10€ (which is what I used to pay) is only valid for 30 days. 15€ gives 60 days, and it now requires 20€ to give 90 days. I've tried entering various other amounts and find that you can get 150 days validity by paying 40€ or more. On this basis the cheapest way to top-up is by paying 20€ every 90 days which gives 47 minutes talk time in that period.Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarksinfrance Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Have you looked at leclerc mobile?Credit lasts a year (or longer if you top up in time) €1.50 a month is taken for the priviledge, So If you bought €50 credit, and didn't use your mobile, at the end of the year you would have €32 credit left.http://www.leclercmobile.fr/Leclercmobile works on the SFR network.
