We have already posted about this handset showing up on Virgin Mobile, and then thought it was unusual. It turns out the HCT HD2 is the first HTC handset to be carried by Virgin Mobile, and on a very compelling package also.
The handset is free on a £30/month 24 month contract and comes with 800 minutes and , free text messages and unlimited data with a 3GB fair use cap. This certainly much more generous than Vodafone for example, with heir 500 MB fair use cap.
As an added bonus, existing Virgin Media customers with home services such as broadband and TV will also get two months free, as well as unlimited calls to other Virgin Mobiles.
