Cool, now all my girlfriends will be get very rich :D

Wait, is it like...if someone calls from Virgin to Virgin on mobile, the person who pics up the phone get 10p back whether they talk for 10 mins or 1 hr.

If it is same for both 10 mins & 1 hr, then it is good but no worthy to go for.

in chennai, tata indicom has the best network.. having used all operators GSM/CDMA, I am telling this.. From what I've heard, all 4 southern states, the coverage of TATA is very very good.. Hoping to see lots of Virgin mobiles soon in Chennai..

^^You justified your username!
Virgin is NOT AN MOBILE OPERATOR. They are just the fanchicee of Tata Indicom.

no guess it should been "wrong".:D

any way didnt know about it .........
after searching read somewhere that its a 50:50 venture, not franchise.....:)

but i guess its all the same [they quickly want to attract customers].......

but i do really think its a temporary offer ....... i mean they wont be able to sustain it..... mobile costs are as it is quite cheap in india, in the US its minimum $40 [=Rs1600] per month.

Hey "confused" as i said b4 every operator gets 30p for every incoming call as Interconnect Charge.But none of the operator pays us back that 30p.
But Virgin is paying 10p so still they get profit of 20p while other ops get 30p.

^For them, it is easier to get 20p than 30p
