Also, what about BT Mobile?

BT Mobile originally used the O2 network, on 31st July 2003 it began using T-Mobile and then in 2006/7 it began using Vodafone's network.

So if they can switch easily as that,I'm sure Virgin Mobile will.

Possibly 3 would be a good network for Virgin Mobile if it was to quit using T-Mobile.

In terms of working successfully with each other, 3 has the least competition with Virgin Mobile/Media.

O2: Direct competition with home Virgin broadband of up to 20MB.
Orange: Direct competition with Virgin Broadband,Virgin phone and Virgin National services.

Vodafone doesn't have many home/business services to compete with Virgin Media.

In fact 3 and Vodafone would benefit from a large virtual network.

Also, what if Virgin Mobile start offering cheap Mobile TV with there own TV channels such as Living,Challenge,Bravo and Virgin 1? That would also be a selling point for Virgin Mobile phones.
