Some customers of mobile network operator O2<\/a> (Virgin Media<\/a>), specifically those on certain 30 day rolling SIM Only contracts, have informed ISPreview of how they’ve just been notified that they will be hit by a sharp price hike from 1st October 2025 (in many cases this equates to an increase of c.12%).<\/p>\n

The increase has also been confirmed by one of O2<\/a>’s support agents on their Community Forum<\/a>: “As part of a recent tariff review, we\u2019re making a small adjustment to prices for customers on a specific set of 30-day rolling SIM Only plans. This change helps ensure greater consistency across our customer base and keeps our pricing in line with the wider market<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

The customer email itself (credits to forum member insertfloppydiskhere for sharing) states: “From 1 October 2025, the cost of your Airtime Plan will increase by \u00a33 a month. Remember, this price rise is only for your Airtime Plan – what you’re paying for your device will stay the same<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

The only good news is that, on a short 30-day plan, customers who wish to leave can easily do so without penalty.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 31st Aug 2025 @ 07:42am<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve had a comment from O2<\/a>, which also confirms that the price hike is only being applied to a small proportion of former Virgin Mobile (ceased to exist in 2023) customers who were migrated across to an O2 Unlimited plan in 2023, and is designed to align their products and services more closely with the wider mobile base. A few of these customers are currently said to be paying as little as \u00a34 a month for Unlimited airtime plans.<\/p>\n

A Virgin Media O2 spokesperson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have written to a small proportion of former Virgin Mobile customers, who migrated across to O2 in 2023, to inform them that the cost of their Unlimited airtime plan will increase by \u00a33 a month from 1 October.<\/p>\n

This will align these legacy packages more closely with the wider base of O2 customers, while also continuing to represent excellent value for connectivity that is in greater demand than ever before.<\/p>\n

Impacted customers are able to exit their contracts without penalty if they wish.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
