Daedalus Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I was on Virgin for a couple of years, before I joined Orange. Can't falt them really, only switched because of a phone deal I couldn't resist... Their customer service is great - better than Orange by far.

cyclingplatypus Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I originally used the Virgin Mobile service while living in England and when I got back and saw that they were also available here in the states it was a no brainer. I currently have the Vox and the rates end up being cheaper than othe pay as you go services and you don't have to top up every 30 days. They are based on the Sprint PCS network and very rarely while traveling did I not have a signal (I travel a moderate amount). The customer service is also some of the best in the business. My wife uses Nextel and to be honest I think the service with Virgin is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
