Am I missing something? - virgin mobile

[Sudden]

Just looking at virgin mobile, and I don't understand the deals that they have, even if it is a special offer.

For 20 a month, i'm getting 400 minutes and unlimited texts.

But for 30 a month, I get 300 minutes and 750 texts?

Am I missing something here? how does this work?

Its a special deal for that phone only I think.

Nope. If you go to the home page, and go with only tariff selection, the same thing comes up, and is there for like 20 different phones. Although their phone selection is rather bad :s But this one phone I do want. Only other provider doing it is t-mobile. but some issues with credit check with them for some reason.

I was with them for years and their deals are now terrible compared to what else is avaliable, now I've an O2 sim only £20.00 gets me 800 mins, 1600 texts and unlimited web, tied in for 12 months or 600 mins and 1200 texts + web on a monthly rolling basis.

Wow. Great deal. Unfortunately, I do need a phone as well and for them, the o2 deals don't seem as good if i'm sticking to 30 or less. At least not with the phones i'm interested in.
