Does anyone know if Virgin are still piggybacking on T-Mobiles network?
I broke my T-Mobile phone & have purchased a cheap Nokia 1208 on Virgin PAYG to use until mine gets repaired.
I was under the impression that the T-Mobile sim card should work in the Virgin phone as they use the same network, but i'm just getting a message saying 'Sim not valid'.
I've used virgin sims in a t-mobile phone before without problems and assumed (probaby mistakenly) that it'd work just as well the other way round.
If it won't work, do I need to pay to get the phone unlocked (which would probably cost as much as the phone has), or can I get a code from somewhere to unlock it for free?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
