Hi

am i right in thinking these two use the same network?

I currently have a t mobile locked phone and am thinking of taking the NTL/Virgin offer of £10 a month.
Would like to keep my phone and use the new virgin sim.

Is this correct/possible??

Any help appreciated.

Andy

Yes they do use the same network, so the t-mobile sim card will work in the virgin phone and vice versa

Have you looked at the the "locked simcard" tread you may find there is a code for your mobile to unlock it

It is correct that Virgin use the T-Mobile network and that a Virgin sim will normally work in a T-Mobile locked phone.

However, a Virgin locked phone may need unlocking before you could use a T-Mobile sim in it

Waste of time though!

This offer is now only for a very basic Nokia 1112!!
No camera,mp3 player etc.....unlike the lobster!!

Not impressed, got the mail out today and was told this upon ringing.

Very poor, i declined,not so attractive now.

Shame.

£10 a month for 300 anytime any network minutes, and texts which also rollover for a month is good value in my opinion!

Its supposed to be a SIM only tariff.. So getting any free handset is a bonus
