I've not been able to get on the internet for a few weeks now and assumed my phone was knackered, until I tried on a new phone and got the same problem.
After fiddling around with the settings for a while I found that the problem was the gateway IP address which Virgin say is 193.30.166.3. If I delete this altogether I can get on the internet without any problems.
This is the same on two different makes of phone so I don't think it is phone specific.
Hope that helps anyone else having problems.

Just go to virgin mobile website put in your phone and phone number they then send a text that will automatically install the network settings for you. Saves messing around and fiddling with phone. It worked fine for me. The Mobile broadband a better offer @ 1Gig per month not sure if that sim would work in the phone or if they would know. Great if you have one of those mini laptop things much better than surfing on a phone. Never really understood the attraction of using the internet on a piddly phone screen myself.

Yes you will. There is a 25 Mb per day limit which doesn't go far if you use something like yotube mobile. Not sure what happens when you go over the 25Mb a day limit. They do advertise as unlimited but with everything Virgin advertise as unlimited it never is. They should be banned from using the term unlimited IMO as it clearly is not.
