Why's it happening?
Virgin Mobile customers are moving over to O2.
Why's this change happening?
This represents a key pillar in Virgin Media O2’s integration, with the first stage of this plan completed at the end of last year when the entire Virgin Mobile base transferred over to using the O2 network – so all data, voice and text traffic is already using the company’s connectivity. This latest stage now marks the moment when customer plans start moving over to O2.
When did Virgin Media and O2 merge?
Virgin Media and O2 joined forces in June 2021, creating the UK’s largest telecoms challenger with award-winning mobile services and lightning-fast broadband, all under one roof.
Will Virgin Mobile be changing its name to O2, or will there be any other branding changes?
Virgin Mobile will continue to offer flexible handset contracts and 30-day rolling SIM only plans this year, with a variety of options under consideration regarding the use of the Virgin Mobile brand in future.
