| Virgin Sim Only Plans Review | |
| Virgin have a few BYO or sim only plans and they are providng to be quite popular particularly since they re-released them with much improved data offerings.The Virgin Topless plans is the ultimate Virgin offering. Pay $89 per month and get unlimited calls and text to anyone plus 4GB of data. This isn’t a business plan. If you are a heavy user of calls on your phone, particularly if you don’t have a home fixed phone line, this could be a great option for you. One phone, one number and only $89 per month.Moving beyond the Topless plan we have two options, the BYO Easy Cap and the BYO Smart Cap.The fundamental difference between these two plans is that the Easy Cap offers call credit plus data and international calls can be used with your call credit. The Smart Cap offers the same amount of call credit and has much more in data, however calls can only be made in Australia.If we compare the two $49 Caps – Easy Cap gives you $540 in credit and 500MB. The Smart Cap gives you $360 in credit and 2GB in data.BYO Bring Your Own phone means No Contract with Virgin. So you can leave the plan whenever you like, just pay out what you have spent for the month (and any outstanding bills).To calculate the real value of the calls, lets take a look at how much a 3 minute call will cost you. 40c flagfall plus 99c per minute, means each call is $3.37 each. So starting with the $19 Easy Cap, you can make just 17 calls or one every second day. At the other end, the $49 Easy Cap gives you $540 in credit or 160 calls.Looking at data. If you plan to browse the web daily or use social media regularly throughout the day, you will need atleast 500MB a month. The Smart Caps give you up to 3GB in data value with the $69 cap. 3GB is enough to watch plenty of videos via the net or download plenty of apps and do pretty much anything you want.In summary, the Smart Caps offer fantastic value and are really worth a look at if you have a phone that can access the web and you love being online all of the time. Add the bonus of no contract and you have the ideal data offer. |
