What are Virgin Mobile's Family Plans?

With a Virgin Mobile Family Plan, you can manage your family’s mobile contracts from just one account. This makes it easier to keep an eye on the kids’ spending, and lets you pay for everyone on just one bill – keeping things nice and simple. What’s more, you can save money when you add additional numbers. On top of all this, all calls between mobiles on the same Family Plan are free.

To sign up to a Virgin Mobile Family Plan, you’ll need Virgin Media TV or broadband. You can check whether you’re eligible for a Family Plan in Your Account.

If you’re eligible and you’d like to get a Virgin Mobile Family Plan, speak to a member of our team.

When you’ve signed up, you’ll be able to add up to 5 mobile numbers to your Family Plan account. As the main account holder, you'll then be able to view the individual mobile plans, manage data and device usage and stay on top of how much is being spent for each number you add using the My Virgin Mobile app – easy-peasy!

You can also keep the family safe with our Online Security features, powered by F-Secure. This is available at no additional cost for 12 whole months. F-Secure includes award winning security features, such as:

• Time limits: You can block Internet access and lock selected apps at specific times to make sure the kids are getting a healthy amount of screen time.
• App control: Lets you see what apps your children have installed onto their devices, and apply restrictions if you need to – you can just add a time limit, or even completely block an app.
• Content blocking: Decide what content you feel is suitable for your child to view by restricting access to certain video content or websites.
• Finder: With this feature, you can securely locate your child’s device at any time.

You can have up to five numbers on one Family Plan. This can be any combination of Sim Only, Freestyle, Classic, Oomph bundles or mobile broadband. You’ll receive a £2 discount for each additional line you add – up to a total of £8.

The Virgin Media Family Plan brings together SIMs, savings and safety – making it easy for Virgin Media cable customers to manage their family’s Virgin Mobile.
