That's well cool. My parents signed me up for it while I was out. Talk about a shocker standing in the kitchen at my friends house when the cell rang. Ashame is wasn't live, I'd have wished Sir Richard best of luck on the upcoming Virgin America progress too...

Anyone know if it actually enters you into a drawing to win an upper class ticket if that's what you said you wanted?

It's only for US FC members / people that sign up for US mailings.

The email says:

Dear Paul,

Has a phone call from Richard Branson been on your holiday wish list as long as you can remember? Whether you've been naughty or nice this year, your wish is about to be granted - he's waiting by the phone!

Of course, we knew a plain old greeting card just wouldn't do for you this season. You're so special to us, and have been such a big part of our success this year that we couldn't think of a better way to thank you than to have the big guy himself call you with a message of holiday cheer.

To have Richard give you a phone call, please *link here* and let him know the best time to reach you. Then, snuggle up with a steamy mug of hot cocoa or a nicely chilled cocktail, and "ring" in the season!

Happy holidays!

The Virgin Atlantic team


I've put my US cell number in...

How funny is this? I entered the info--my phone rang immediately and there was srb wishing me a happy christmas, hoping I got those 2 UC tix (I could have asked for world peace, how small of me)I was asking for from Boston and inquiring if I might be free to join him and the fam at Necker in the coming months. I informed SRB that I would be more than happy to find the time to join him at Necker but he was waxing so enthusiastic in his greeting that he didn't seem to hear me.

Very clever and a great way to start a Friday evening! Yes, though it does seem to be just for US FF....a nice touch as we seldom get any of the potential goodies thrown UK way (no casino, few competitions, sad that).

:D

It's a fun idea - I tried it - but feels like somewhat like getting junk email (even though you request it). Happy to win the J class tickets though...
