Frequently Asked Questions

Q Can I keep my own number and bring it to Virgin Mobile?
A Of course! Just ask for your number to be transferred across to Virgin Mobile when you are activating it.

A Yes! You can switch between voucher types as much as you wish – all of our offers are available for purchase online, or you can buy selected vouchers from a retail outlet.
