Virgin NOT working ?

[DXL]

Hi Guys & Dolls.

I have a Huawei E620 Fastlink data card.

My Virginmobile sim wont work in it.

The salesman at the virginmobile store assured me that it was a 128K card.

Cell-c , MTN & Vodacom sims all work very well.

However at 50c a meg I hope this is not a way of telling the newcomers to Virginmobile we have to deal with a service thats below standard.

Can anyone HELP ?

I am using the MTN Dashboard to access all the networks.

I do understand that there are not many Smarties at Virginmobile so thats the reason I am seeking HELP here.

1st of all is the SIM working in your phone. ie have you made the chargeable call yet? You need to make a chargeable call for the SIM to activate and download the WAP sttings.

2nd have you set the APN to vdata.

Yes I have made the chargeable call and have even used GPRS on my mobile.

I had the phone settings sent to me.

I am not sure whether my sim is 128k or 64k.

I gave the helpline a call and the guys from data are trying to ship me a 128k sim just in case thats the problem.

Is there any way to tell if the sim is 64k or 128k.

Any help would be appreciated.

Using R2 a megabyte is eating away at my pocket.

Thanks

64K SIM is black, 128K SIM is red.

Change your APN to "VDATA", all other three networks use the "INTERNET" APN.

OK !

The problem has been sorted out. But not by the most proper means available.

Today I tried the Vodafone Dashboard.

Virgin Connected.

It appears the mtn dashboard was giving me a hassle.

Though I would like to get a proper dashboard for Virgin mobile.
