Virgin Mobile had roled out a new Tarif for daily InterWeb surfing – it’s called the casual users tariff, and will be available for both contract and PAYG customers. The daily limit is 25MB, although it remains to be seen whether Virgin would enforce this.
As Tech Digest neatly point out, for those that are just checking Facebook or similar, this could be an ideal tariff – those going large on net access each day could probably find a better Tariff to put themselves on.
Virgin is also offering a new mobile portal to try and entice users online, after research they did showed that only 7% of users are accessing the Mobile Web (maybe it for reasons like this?)
Anyhoo, the new casual user tariff will be available from 8th December, after which you should be able to find a lot more info here.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
