I don't know if there is another thread on this forum but would like to start a Virgin Mobile iPhone thread as I've been using one for about 8 months and having had some problems hope to stop other people sitting on hold for 20 mins on 123!

iPhone change codes:
As there are no iphone settings that are downloadable as "handset isn't recognized" here are some codes to help you change the iphone settings, i got theses from here http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/iPhoneCodes so all credit goes to them:
Any command can be preceded by *#, ** or ##.
*# is INTERROGATION.
** is SETUP.
## is CANCEL / DELETE.
*#5005*78283# This dumps a baseband log in /Library/Logs/Baseband/ - Note 1
**5005*78283# This dumps a baseband log in /Library/Logs/Baseband/ - Note 1
##5005*78283# This dumps a baseband log in /Library/Logs/Baseband/ - Note 1
*#5005*62# "Error performing request - No Network Service" - Note 2
*#5005*62255# "Error performing request - No Network Service" - Note 2
*#5005*87223# "Error performing request - No Network Service" - Note 2
*#5005*86# Displays the Voice Mail dial-in number.
**5005*86*VOICEMAIL# Sets the Voice Mail number to VOICEMAIL (international format).

*#5005*7672# Display the SMSC Setting.
**5005*7672*SMSCNUMBER# Sets the SMSC to SMSCNUMBER (international format).
##5005*7672# Erases the SMSC number from phone.
*#5005*22# "Error performing request - No Network Service" - Note 2
**5005*22# Unknown. Displays "Please wait"; returns to dialpad - Note 2
##5005*22# Unknown. Displays "Please wait"; returns to dialpad - Note 2
*#5005*5264# This reads LANG and tells you the "actual language" (en).

Note 1: It may be necessary to change the prefix from the set of (*#, **, ##) to
initiate a new log dump. The logs are not "tail" able, since this is a single
dump, with no additional data written. So far, these logs appear to always
remain the same size. Logfiles are stamped with the current date.
Note 2: These tests were performed with a stock phone on the AT&T network. It is
possible that these errors represent debugging features that are only
available on a special debug cellular base-station (CONJECTURE only!)'

Everything is stored on the Virgin Mobile sim, however I inserted a vodacom simcard and since then couldn't send any sms's, only receive. After working it out after blaming Virgin Mobile (oops sorry) here is the SMS messaging center number.
074 1000 050.
To change it go to the phone dialpad and "call" **5005*7672*+27741000050# and then press CALL

Virgin Mobile 3G HSPA on iphone
I'm still struggling with this one as I don't know if it is just my area (Cape Town Northern Suburbs) but only seem to be getting "E" GPRS. I have been told that I don't need to change any of the network settings but if anyone else knows any different pls advise?!

What model iPhone do you have? The models prior to the iPhone 4 don't support the 900mhz frequency that Cell C and Virgin's HSPA runs on, only the iPhone 4. I have the same problem, have an iPhone 3G but can't access anything faster than EDGE

I have an iPhone 3GS... it has been picking up 3G in the center of Cape Town and random areas around Canal Walk so I guess the 3GS can pick up the CellC 3G ( I have it set on no roaming and Network CellC not automatic) but still very sporadic...
