A lot of people have trouble with technology at some point and the question is what do they do about it?

This is where a new service called Virgin Digital Help may be able to help and, what’s more, the first thirty minutes are free.

The help desk is a straight forward, no nonsense phone support service, that promises to be jargon free and should be able to help out consumers with a fix for most computer and other technology based problems.

As an incentive for users to sign up for the service, anyone joining before the end of March will be given thirty minutes worth of help completely free of charge.

Those who qualify will be emailed a voucher that can be used at any time over the next six months.
