Virgin Mobile Nano SIM for iPhone 5, 6 and 7
If you're buying online, Virgin now allow you to purchase a Nano SIM only. It's been a long time coming but iPhone users can now take advantage of Virgin's great value tariffs.
Nano SIMs are also what the iPhone 6 and 7 uses so you'll have no problem with compatibility there either.
The great new offers from Virgin provide you with rollover data so that you can carry any data you haven't used over to the next month. Any unused rollover data does expire at the end of the next billing month and it is always used first ahead of your regular allowance.
Virgin uses the Everything Everywhere, which is reliable and fast. To check your coverage visit

The most data you can get from a Virgin SIM is now 20GB for £25. Although not as good as previous tariffs they've had in the past, this is still a great offer when you compare with similar plans on EE and Vodafone.
Virgin do have an acceptable and fair usage policy in place to prevent abuse of their mobile network against things like peer to peer file sharing. For customers joining after June 25th 2012 there is an excessive limit policy of 3.5GB per month, at which point your data connection will be throttled down to 3G speeds of 384kbit/s. After the calendar month has ended then your speed will return to normal.
With regards to
tethering, or sharing your mobile Internet connection with other devices, Virgin Media do not allow this and this is explicitly mentioned in their terms of service. In reality, most of you won't be restricted by the fair usage policy or the rule on no tethering. If you do require tethering then we recommend going for a plan on
Three or a high-end tariff on
O2 who also include it within their data allowances.
