Virgin Media today launched a range of new ‘Travel Passes', offering great value for money for customers using the mobile internet and mobile broadband to surf anywhere in the EU.
From just £6.00 for mobile internet access all day or £10 for mobile broadband access*, Virgin Media's customers can stay online when away from home without running up any unexpected bills.
Jonathan Kini, director of mobile at Virgin Media said "Virgin Media customers never have to worry about accessing the internet while they're abroad.
"Whether it's searching for the best pizzeria in Rome on your mobile or uploading photos onto Facebook with a laptop and mobile broadband, customers now have control over what they spend on holiday."
