Virgin Media Makes Internet Browsing Light on the Pocket while Travelling
Virgin Media has introduced new tariff plans for internet users while they travel abroad. A majority of internet users have faced the problems caused by prohibitively high priced internet usage while travelling abroad. However this situation is set to change now. With the introduction of ‘travel passes’, internet usage abroad will be a lot lighter on the pocket.
Virgin customers currently pay £5 for internet usage when they travel abroad. This amount is common to both pay as you go customers as well as contract customers (see contract laptops). With the launch of the travel passes users will be able to access the internet at a much cheaper rate.
Virgin is offering its users different packages to choose in line with their usage and requirement. There are packages with validity lasting for one day, three days, seven days and a month. These will cost £10, £15, £30 and £60 respectively. The data cap is equal to the cost in pounds. Getting access to the internet with these plans is very easy and quick. All the user needs to do is send a text message to activate the services. These services are available on all handsets and the facility is available in all countries in the European Union.
The director of Virgin Media spoke about these new travel passes and stated that the passes were introduced especially for internet users who travel abroad. So now Virgin users do not have to worry abut accessing data when they are on the go. The pocket internet access will allow users to upload pictures on social networking sites as well as search for local places of interest and places to eat. In addition, the data cap will ensure that the internet usage remains within the customer’s budget.
