Re: Virgin Mobile Coverage

unfortunately it doesn't even work in towns.There are quite simply too few tmobile transmitters to provide an adequate service.I'm half a mile from the town centre of the most heavily populated town in cheshire and yet still have to go outside to make a call.A quick look at sidefinder will show 4 vodaphone or o2 transmitters to an area which tmobile expect to be served by 2.Coverage map shows 4 bars which is quite ludicrous,i've not tried the rooftop yet but i doubt that's even achievable there.Why virginmobile haven't yet sorted out the roaming to orange is quite unbelievable as any day soon tmobile transmitters could start being switched off in favour of orange ones.
