Virgin Media is launching its first range of phones and price plans for the Irish mobile market.
It includes models like the Apple iPhone 6s, Samsung Galaxy S7 and Sony Xperia X.
The company says that superfast 4G is now included at no extra cost for all Virgin Mobile customers.
The provider has also announced a ‘Freestyle’ contract, which it says will give customers greater flexibility.
It will allow consumers to choose the contract length, change their plan up or down any month, and upgrade their phone whenever they want without penalty - by paying off what they owe on the phone only.
Its plans will also customers pay a two-tier contract, e.g. €35 for the first four months and €50 thereafter.
Ronan McEvoy, head of mobile at Virgin Media, said: “Since the launch of Virgin Mobile last October, our mission has been to shake up the market by offering simple, good value offers – starting with Virgin Mobile Unlimited.”
