Still if anybody isn&#8217;t happy then Virgin says you can call 789 from your Virgin mobile phone by <strong>30th June 2016<\/strong> to change your tariff or cancel your contract without penalty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Customers of Virgin Media&#8217;s mobile tariffs have been told to expect a price rise of 1.6% from 1st July 2016, which they say is in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) rate of inflation announced in April when the figure was at its highest (it&#8217;s back to 1.3% now) and there are a few [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[405,475],"class_list":["post-11857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-ee","tag-virgin-media"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
