Virgin Media offers free mobile web with VM800

Smartphones are hugely popular amongst certain users in the UK.

With unlimited data usage, surfing the internet and checking emails while on the move is a breeze and all within the monthly subscription.

However, there is a huge part of the market missing out on mobile web browsing but not for much longer, as Virgin Media is looking to tempt pay-as-you-go customers with free web access for six months.

Buyers of the VM800 a handset made by Alcatel, will get a QWERTY style keyboard, up to 4 GB of micro SD card storage and much more.

However, what is interesting is the cost.

The device is £40 and the consumer has to pay £10 talktime, but will get 300 free SMSs and six months web surfing. FUP applies!
