Virgin Media is giving away free Apple iPads to shoppers
Virgin Media has brought back one of its biggest deals of 2025 as it brings back its free iPad deal, a standout offer for any UK consumers in need of a broadband upgrade. Shoppers who sign up to one of the retailers broadband plans will get the 64GB Apple device completely for free, but it’s only available on one plan.
It’s included on Virgin Media’s Mega Volt Package, a combo plan that bundles broadband and TV into one offering high speeds, mobile data and TV channels all in one. An ideal plan for busy households, priced at £88.99 per month bill payers will now walk away with an iPad for £0.
Shoppers who lock into the monthly plan will get the 64GB iPad 9th Gen model, usually worth £200, for free, an offer which isn’t currently being offered anywhere else. It’s not the first time we’ve seen this deal, as a step up from its older free bill credit deals, the provider last offered this deal back in March.

This isn’t Apple’s flagship device, it’s from 2021 to be exact. It comes with a 10.2-inch screen, has a decent processor for speed, and is still compatible with Apple’s keyboard case and Apple Pencil – at the same time, Amazon’s newer 10th Gen iPad deal is worth a look at too.
Alternatively there is Sky Mobile, which isn’t offering any free device with its plans, but it’s got the much newer 2024 iPad Pro 13-inch M4 on a cost splitting plan. Now available for £34 a month.
Back to Virgin’s eye-catching deal and this is exactly what consumers get with the bundle. Below is a full list of what the Mega Volt package includes.
The Mega Volt package includes:
- Gigabit broadband: Virgin Media’s fastest broadband, Gig1 Fibre, which provides customers with 1130Mbps average download speeds.
- WiFi guarantee: Virgin Media’s market-leading WiFi guarantee included at no extra cost (usually £8 per month), offering customers minimum download speeds of 30Mbps in every room or £100 back.
- TV: A huge variety of 240+ TV channels and subscription services including Netflix standard with ads, Sky Sports HD and Sky Cinema HD at no extra cost.
- Mobile: A 250GB O2 SIM which includes data roaming (up to 25GB) in 75 worldwide including USA, Australia and 49 EU destinations at no extra cost.
- O2 Extra: Customers can choose a subscription service including Disney+, McAffee, Amazon Prime Video or Audible for six months at no extra cost.
The Mega Volt plan bundles both into one concise package. This comes with internet speeds of 1130Mbps (Gig1 fibre broadband) more than 230 TV channels, plus access to Sky Sports and Sky Cinema HD.
It’s no secret that at £88.99 per month – on an 18-month contract- this is a hefty price to pay if you’re only on the look for a free iPad and arguably not worthwhile so we’d recommend looking around if that’s the only reason. If you need a new TV and broadband plan the the £0 iPad is certainly a win.
