Free Internet through Virgin Mobile?

[Syndyre]

Its not fully closed.

If you have 0 balance then you can view a web page or 2 then it bombs out.

Not something you'd want to use on a permanent basis though.

There is still one loophole. They always charge less than 50c/MB.

for me, its always 50cent per megabyte. By the way, i have tried out edwe's settings, they dont work anymore.

The free internet loophole is still there, only you have to use a download manager like dap to continue downloading after 52 k of data. I use dap 5.
It sometimes disconnects at like 60% complete(regardless of size). Just reconnect and continue. Hope this helps.

The other day I managed nearly 20MB on my last 2 bucks after several disconnects and reconnects. But then as soon as it reached R0 after disconnecting I had to recharge to continue. I was hoping it to continue as the file is over 150MB. I still have nearly 20MB to go on it.

Osiris49, There's already a DAP 8.1

You're right, they don't work anymore, but I don't care now, as I rarely use WAP anymore - I now have per meg ADSL @ R0.05/MB (yes, that's 5 cents per meg) off peak (i.e. 22:00-7:00 and all of Sunday).

I tried dap 8.1 first, it didn't work. Dap 5 seems to bypass something and continue to download. Or maby i'm just lucky. Could it have something to do with the fact that I bought my sim when virgin just launched?
