Virgin Media and O2 joined forces in June 2021, creating one of the nation’s largest telecoms providers – offering award-winning mobile services and lightning-fast broadband in one place.

In January 2023, we announced that Virgin Mobile customers would be moving to O2 plans by the end of the year, and that we’d be simplifying our phone and SIM plans under the O2 and giffgaff brands.

We stopped trading as Virgin Mobile at the end of August 2023.

Don’t worry – Virgin Media services like broadband, TV and home phone aren’t changing at all. 

With any O2 plan, you can roam freely – using up to 25GB of data – in the EU and four more countries, making up 47 countries in total. All at no additional cost.

So, you can stay connected without worrying about extra charges while you’re travelling.

For info on charges and Bolt Ons beyond these limits or outside these regions, visit the O2 travel and roaming page here.

giffgaff is a mobile operator that's owned by O2 and runs on the O2 network. It offers flexible plans for freedom-seekers - from Pay As You Go and monthly rolling options to longer contracts with loads of value.

giffgaff's all about doing good – for you, your pocket and our planet.

In fact, it's officially a B Corp, joining a network of more than 1,000 UK companies that want to make a positive impact on the world around us.

giffgaff was voted Uswitch Network of the Year 2023 for the third year running.
