Only if they have already contacted you first though?
Use if your in the final month of your contract or out of contract. It'll give you 50% off your current full price contract for the next 12 months
This offer is personal and exclusive to existing Virgin Media Broadband and /or TV customers only, who have been contacted by Virgin Media with the Half Price for 12 months offer via SMS.
I think my mistake was that I explicitly told them not to call me again once I gave notice of termination. They still called me but I gave the guy short shrift. Maybe I shouldn't have?I have virgin media. Was paying €35/mt x 12 mts. Due to go up to €70/mt. One month before contract end I called them to cancel it. They offered €45/mt. I declined and said cancel it. Had intended allowing it to cancel and then signing back up the next day as a new customer (I have done this before) for €35/mt. Interestingly, on this occasion, about 5 days before my contract was due to end (and 5 days before my 30 days notice period was up), they called me and offered €35/mt x 12 mts. I accepted this.
They never contacted me with that offer, I saw it elsewhere, and it worked ok once I used the link in my final month of the contract. I didn't get an email to say it had worked but it did and my new bills are exactly 50% offOnly if they have already contacted you first though?
Fair enough - well done!They never contacted me with that offer, I saw it elsewhere, and it worked ok once I used the link in my final month of the contract. I didn't get an email to say it had worked but it did and my new bills are exactly 50% off
My contract was up at the end of November, so I called up at the start of the month to cancel. The rep was trying to make me an offer of something for 6 months and I just said I wasn't interested in any 6-month offer as I'd just end up having to phone again then. He didn't sound impressed so rapidly processed the cancellation, email came through and everything that day. I only say this thread after that and chanced my arm and completed that 50% off for 12 months form even though I'd already cancelled. Similarly, I never got a confirmation email but when the internet and TV kept working after the 30 days notice should have been over I assumed all was good. True enough, bill just came through today and the 50% off is there. Works out slightly cheaper than I was previously paying but a) saves the hassle of changing provider, and b) means I can stick with the older TV box which still allows me to record which is really what I was looking for.They never contacted me with that offer, I saw it elsewhere, and it worked ok once I used the link in my final month of the contract.

Nice one. I'd still keep an eye on it to make sure they don't change it after 6 months though.My contract was up at the end of November, so I called up at the start of the month to cancel.

AAM strikes again - thanks a million, folks!
I hear the new virgin boxes can't record BBC or rte? Is that true?
Mine works fine.I hear the new virgin boxes can't record BBC or rte? Is that true?
You can record BBC on the new streaming box?Mine works fine.
Does the aforementioned Virgin Media strategy of cancelling and signing up as a new customer work with Sky (and others?) perhaps? Ridicluous palaver but sometimes the only way to get the best deal with the incumbent provider.Anyone managed to keep sky costs down recently?
