- Good to hear from you Meraj. I'm willing to bet it wasn't a Nokia N97 that you gave to your father?

Is there something hidden about this offer that I've missed? £15/month on other networks gets you more bandwidth - why would anyone go for Virgin Mobile here?

3 keeps doing deals for half price mobile broadband too, which is a big difference to the above.

Ouch - a raw nerve there.

See your point this - this is a joke. Lets see if your rant is picked up by them!

still need to get back to you on that email.... Australian data charging being fairly high on the agenda. For an internet dongle I've gone prepay largely as the excess fees are so worrying.

Virgin Australia, call 'Bill Shock'; 'Bill Rage'.. You have to give them some credit for this at least :)

Do Virgin actually have their own network or are they piggy backing off someone else??

That just wrong. I think they should pack up from here in the UK or get their own Network.
WAP!
WAP! Oh My...

And Yes, Still T-Mobile. About 2 years ago they re-newed their Contract with the Network to use them for another 10 years.
