What Is Virgin Media Mobile?

Virgin Media Mobile is a SIM-only mobile service available to both new and existing Virgin Media customers. It operates on the Three network in Ireland, giving access to Three's 4G coverage. Virgin Media keeps things simple with one main plan — unlimited data, calls, and texts for €15 per month.

Unlike some competitors, Virgin Media Mobile is available on a 12-month contract rather than a rolling monthly plan. This suits customers who want to commit for a year in exchange for a competitive monthly rate.
