Virgin Media has introduced another feature that is sure to cement it as one of the best broadband providers in the UK. It has now launched a collection of internet travel passes that customers can use to access mobile broadband and the internet whilst travelling anywhere in Europe.
There are four different price ranges for the mobile-broadband packages. The cheapest costs £10 and provides a day's worth of mobile broadband access along with a 10 MB download limit.
The next costs £15 and provides a 15 MB download limit which lasts for three days. The third deal costs £30 for a 30 MB data limit to be used over seven days, and the most expensive package costs £60 for a 60 MB data limit for 30 days of connectivity. All that customers have to do to take advantage of the deal is text 'BUY' to 23456.
As well as mobile broadband, Virgin has also released new mobile internet packages. Customers can now pay £4 to receive one-hour of internet access, and £6 for a whole day of connectivity.
Jonathan Kini, who is the director of mobile at Virgin, said that the deal would help people to stay connected when they are abroad, "whether it's searching for the best pizzeria in Rome on your mobile or uploading photos on to Facebook with a laptop”.
This will be great for people heading to Europe on holiday or on business who want to get instant connectivity but don't want to be hit with a huge bill from their ISP on their return.
