These bundles are often quite pricey, but now you can pick from three different tiers of mobile plan rather than being lumped with one default one, which could end up saving you money or opening up more value.Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT Virgin Media Volt bundles From £84.99 View DealVirgin Media is now offering three different mobile plans with its Volt bundle.Volt includes a speedy broadband connection with Sky Cinema, Sky Sports, 230 channels and Netflix.With more flexibility than previously, you can now add your choice of three different O2 mobile plans.At the time of writing, Virgin’s Volt bundle costs £84.99 per month on a 24-month plan, with price rises in April 2026 and 2027.This includes 1,130Mbps broadband, the fastest available, more than 230 TV channels and Netflix standard with ads, plus Sky Cinema HD and Sky Sports HD.You also get an O2 Classic Plan SIM, which includes unlimited minutes and texts, free roaming in 75 destinations and an Extra from O2 for three months.
