Virgin Media O2 is offering the ultimate refund.
The telecom has launched an incredible giveaway to kickstart the new year, offering broadband and mobile phone customers the chance to get their monthly bills refunded for the entirety of 2026. Yes, indeed.
The generous giveaway is part of its new Blue Mondays initiative, an exclusive weekly prize and reward experience built into the Priority app. If you're not familiar with this handy app, it's a free awards program exclusively available to O2 and Virgin Media customers only.
You can get access to free giveaways like this one or unlock other perks, such as claiming free snacks, getting discounts on beauty and wellness treatments, and more. The app is available for download in the App Store or Google Play Store for iPhone and Android, respectively.
O2 Priority is a long-running loyalty scheme for mobile subscribers, but the newer Blue Monday initiative now offers the chance to win 12 months of broadband or mobile phone bills for free
|VIRGIN MEDIA PRESS OFFICE
For the first time ever, Priority members have the opportunity to win a prize where mobile or broadband bills are covered for an entire year. That means you'll be able to make calls, send WhatsApp messages, stream Netflix, and backup your photos to the cloud at home or out-and-about without paying a penny.
That's a pretty significant saving to start the new year.

| VIRGIN MEDIA O2 PRESS OFFICEIn terms of broadband, Virgin Media was recently recognised by Uswitch as the UK’s "most reliable broadband provider." It also took first place in Opensignal's 2025 report across every national category measured — including download speed, upload speed, consistent quality, video experience and reliability.
Plus, if your household has both an O2 mobile plan and broadband from Virgin Media, you can take advantage of Volt benefits. You'll have the opportunity to get boosted speeds, data, and Wi-Fi at no extra cost.
You'll even be backed by Virgin Media's Wi-Fi guarantee plan, meaning if you aren't receiving at least 20Mbps download speeds, then you'll have £100 credited back to you.
