Do Virgin Mobile use the TMobile Network?
am I right in thinking they are still a 'virtual' mobile company piggy backing onto the TMobile network?

Re: Do Virgin Mobile use the TMobile Network?
Yep, absolutely ... different servers, same Network
There are 5 Main Networks
O2
Orange
Vodafone
TMobile
3
All the others are virtual piggybacking on one of the main networks.

Re: Do Virgin Mobile use the TMobile Network?
Tesco Mobile use it, as well as the Carphone Warehouse's mobile service 'Fresh'. Seems like Tmobile will sell their soul to anyone...

Re: Do Virgin Mobile use the TMobile Network?
3 use o2 as a default network when you roam out of their network, if that's any help.
Actually my new contract is with o2 - I'm just hoping their CS has improved....

Re: Do Virgin Mobile use the TMobile Network?
Ok i have a prob. Have a mobile (Nokia 3310) which was my dads. He got a new Nokia and gave the 3310 to me. He bought me a Virgin mobile sim card. We put it in the phone and i can make calls send text messages etc. The only problem is is that its displaying One 2 One on the phones display screen, despite there being a Virgin sim card in there.
