When manually searching for network operators on my Virgin phone the following appear:

T-Mobile
vodafone
o2
3 UK

Occasionally I see the Orange Network show up, if I try direct with Orange it never connects, I was confused on that as I thought that Virgin used Orange.

Should I be expecting to see Virgin Mobile show when manually searching for the operators being that it is a Virgin sim? and is the reason I don't see it down to poor coverage in my area?

I was confused about it losing it's signal as the phone showed all 4 bars for signal reception, however it showed Emergency Calls Only at the bottom of the Notifications screen, and when I tried making a call it said it wasn't registered on a network, why show 4 bars when it wasn't registered at that time or is that not related?

Finally, should I be concerned about not being able to find the Virgin name when manually searching or is T-Mobile quite adequate?

Thanks in advance.
