Virgin Mobile

<p>Last year....at the end of July, I bought data using the airtime on my top up account at Virgin Mobile , to do so. I did this through customer services. The consultant then told me that in the future I can simply dial *110# and then follw the prompts to do so on my own, which I did several times after that. Today I wanted to do so again and all of a sudden I was not able to.....and that is with ample airtime to my disposal. Hence I phoned customer services and I was told that it is not possible to use my top up airtime to buy data for my phone and it was never allowed!!! AFTER I HAVE DONE THAT ABOUT FOUR TIMES. Does not make sence!!! Surely I can do with my airtime what I want.....after all I paid fof it???</p>

Hi Elsabe,

Thank you for your query.

In regard to the above query, you were able to purchase data bundles using your inclusive airtime due to a glitch on our system.

This has since been resolved. As you are on a Top Up, you will need to load airtime every time you wish to purchase a data bundle.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards

Alicia
