Okay, so I use my phone as a modem to connect my computer to the internet. I can get the connection established and everything and browse the internet for a little while. But when a page starts to load, it just hangs and doesnt load fully. I look at the connection status and a see in the place where it says data received, no data being received at all, the data counter just stays the same. This has been happening for a few days and has been getting very annoying, especially when I play Age of Empires 3 online

Please help me

Thanks

*try changing your network settings to vodacom (manually). Sometimes the problem is just poor coverage,and this trick usually works 4me;)
 
Hi Jason006,

If you would like to speak to a techie at Virgin Mobile to sort out your issue I can put you in touch with the right person. feel free to mail me - richard[at]getclosure[dot]co[dot]za
 
Im havin an issue where earlier today everything worked perfectly fine... phone connected to the internet etc... now from this afternoon it just doesn't want to connect at all... phone doesnt even flash the data connection icon... just stays the normal signal logo. Usually if there was a network issue it would try flash (dotted lines) and give an error message.. now it just says connecting and the tower icon stays the same..

very confused. any idea?

How come, when I'm out of airtime, I can browse the cellc sites (cellc.co.za, m.cellc.co.za) for free, and NOT the Virgin Mobile sites? -_-

It happily redirects me to http://www.cellc.co.za/recharge, and not a VM Site - Meh :<

I've tried to proxy and header spoof - No luck though ;p

If my phone decides to connect to Vodacom (Since I occasionally get Ultra-Low CellC(VM) Signal), I get full signal, but have to do a signal-search, as I can't connect if it's not VM :p

Has anyone actually read the "comments" on the CellC site? They're pretty much all complaints ;p

P.S:

Apologies if the grammar / spelling isn't that great - My cellphone is beeping at me, and if I put it on charge, the Bluetooth doesn't work (Damn Motorola V360 -_-)

I'm also using Bluesoleil 6.2 (If I accidentally DC, i have to reboot ;p Better than the previous one I was using which randomly BSoD'd me...), as Data Cables are approx R200, and the Motorola Phone Software is approx R450... I look up to you people with your free Nokia PC Suite :<
