Blackberry not displaying Virgin

dilligaf1701 · 22-08-2011, 08:46

I know it's a only a small thing, but until recently my Blackberry 9300 used to display Virgin as the network name. Now it displayes the host network (T-Mobile) instead.

All still seems to work ok, I was just wondering if there was any way to change it back?

Virgin are in the process of migrating to the Everything Everywhere (the merged T-Mobile / Orange network) with some areas under trial, it could be that you are part of this.

I wish they would roll it out soon, my Virgin network cover is Very bad.

But ive had a Orange and T-Mobile phone in the past and they were great

Has anyone got any dates

When the testing is finished you could find it staying as Everything Everywhere. Try a difrent location thus using a different transmitter.

Thank you both

My BB torch's either say Orange/T Mobile or vice versa. That is due to having one on each network. The other day the orange BB torch said that I was roaming due to picking up the new converged signal?

Sometime September is widely anticipated, VM originally said during the Summer then changed this to autumn. Guess it all depends on how the trial goes. Again it's only customer talk but I believe they are midway through a 6 week trail in certain areas after having run a previous trial on selected staff accounts.

It didn't change when i was in a different area.

When one of my friends puts his pay as you go sim in it shows up as virgin.

Could you be one of the testing accounts. Call CS and report it, and let us know what they say.... :-)

Customer services are sending a new Sim card out. I hope it turns up soon, my current Sim is already turned off.

dilligaf1701 · 13-09-2011, 10:09

I got my new sim this morning and all is now good

andy_m · 14-09-2011, 18:37

Did they say what the problem was and why you needed a new sim?

dilligaf1701 · 14-09-2011, 19:59

Nope, just said it was faulty and sent a new one out.
