GPRS with virginmobile

[|tera|]

I am starting to loathe VirginMobile, I've got ADSL, but I want to check out the WAP sites on my phone, every time I phone VM when I am having problems with VM GPRS they say, thanks for calling we'll escalate your problem, someone from the technical department will phone you momentarily. Then I wait three days and phone again, same story. Are they ever going to sort out their GPRS issues? I have got an old phone, nothing fancy, it's a Nokia 5100. I used GPRS when I was on vodacom, without problems. I used exactmobile and all the other stuff you find, now with Virgin nothing works, I can't even connect, SCREW YOU VM! phone me back!

Dial 123 from your VM phone and say you want to speak to Darlington at Data Support. He is very helpful.

I am also in pta east; and didnt find a connection with VM nevertheless a connection speed - sofar phoning with VM is fine; but the DATA is just a problem. Also they havnt come back to me and its been a week now.

VM is useless - sorry guys; but they're not living up to their promises.

Hi Zabzoo, did you try to switch the network to vodacom? It worked for me, on my phone I set the network selection to manual, and then selected vodacom. Forget to get any useful info from vm, I tried for more than a month, and spoke to about every data guy at them, but not even they told me to change the network to vodacom. I found it here on this site. But beggers cant be choosers, so if you want to pay 50c / meg, you must do a bit of suffering first! Hope my info helps.

If they kept their gobs shut and just launched we wouldn't be moaning as much. But nooo they keep flaunting it when they haven't even got it.
