Any one using Virgin Mobile?
I just got a new iPhone 5s and Virgin Mobile Service. I'm in a "good" coverage area and it has worked well until this morning. I woke up and had absolutely no bars for over an hour. I now have 2 bars and can make calls. This is the only phone I have, I live alone, am older and have a medical condition that makes it very scary to have no ability to call someone for help.
Has anyone else had a problem like this? I want to make sure I get my money back within the 14 days if this is normal for Virgin Mobile.
Added (1). Got an email back from Virgin stating they were doing a "network vision" update and to give them a couple of days. About an hour later my service was restored and it has been fine since. Seems a little coincidental to me that I had absolutely no service until a complaint was lodged and all of a sudden an update solved it for me but at least I have service now.
Virgin leases network capacity from other cellular service operators, and does not have a network of its own, so their network reliability depends in large part on who the underlying carrier is. In some cases, and with some plans, Virgin lets you pick which carrier to use for your network, and you can select the one you find provides better service, if you wish.
- Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile? I'm moving to Houston this summer and I'm looking for a cheaper cell phone plan. I talk, text, email, fb etc. I had virgin mobile back in 2004 and I love it and had no problem. I have a android galaxy s3 right now which I love but the battery isn't so great. I'm thinking about possibly buying an iPhone. What I'm really looking for is reviews on virgin and boost mobile. If you have any other cheap cell phone plan carrier suggestions I'm up for that too.
- Virgin Mobile iphone 4s: Does it work on T-mobile? If I purchased the unlocked iphone 4s from Virigin mobile would I be able to use it on T-mobile? Does anybody know if the virigin mobile iphone has a spot for a sim card like the ones T-mobile uses?
- Virgin Mobile Canada to virgin mobile USA? So I bought an iPhone 4S that is locked to bell which they say is compatible with virgin mobile Canada carrier, but I'm moving back to United States soon if I unlock it I can use it in united states on the usa Virgin mobile carrier right?
- IPhone 5s plans for StraightTalk, T-Mobile, and Virgin Mobile? I'm going to get an unlocked iPhone 5s. However, my parents will not pay for the at&t, sprint and verizon plans. They said that they would do the straight talk, virgin mobile, or T-mobile plans because it is cheaper. I was wondering when the plans would come out for the 5s, and about how much they would be (compare it with the iPhone 4 when it came out). I really want to get this phone fast and start using it.
