R.I.P virgin

I considored moving from Vodacom to Virgin when I was due for an upgrade (about 2 months ago). I was put off by their minimal selection of phones and complete lack of phone support. I ended up staying with Vodacom.
 
well, i think virgin just lost me too, no net for me today, had to switch to my vodacom sim to get connected

Hi Beri,Reptile, et al,

Thank you for your posts, I have returned after being away yesterday and have taken note of the issues you are having with your locations.

Please mail me directly with the following:

1) Location detail - as per info reflected on your handset (so that we can pin point the base station)
2) Handset make and model
3) Approx time you use the service

[email protected]

Regards,

Gerald.
