T-Mobile :( |
Re: Virgin APN settings anyone
VM use EE so it can use either T-Mobile or orange.

It sounds like the firmware in your Note isn't a UK one - as Virgin Mobile is a virtual operator, the firmwares have to know that in order to put the right network name on the phone |
Re: Virgin APN settings anyone
You might be onto something there Ben, I not long flashed my note to Stunner 2 running 4.2.2 baseband n7000XXLRK, i thought it was a uk baseband... might be wrong... lost g3 signal just getting HSDPA:8.... thanks Ben.... going to do a bit more hunting... will keep you informed.....

Most phones that are "MVNO aware" simply know that a network code (e.g. 234-30) can equate to several different sets of APN settings and ask you to select from a list (e.g. T-Mobile or Virgin) when you first turn it on. Several then save the settings on a per-SIM basis. Having any settings at all is at the discretion of the phone manufacturer and not all phones have all MVNOs regardless of whether they're UK or otherwise; though VM is quite a big and old MVNO so most should have it. However the mechanism that does this does not really care about the existence of MNVOs, it is no different from knowing certain network codes can have different settings for contract vs. PAYG customers, the actual code asking "T-Mobile or Virgin Mobile" acts the same as it were if it were asking "O2 contract or O2 PAYG or Tesco Mobile" The Note definitely has the correct settings for Virgin Mobile so chances are the OP accidentally picked the wrong option when he was asked some time long ago and the phone just remembered his choice. ---------- Post added at 20:06 ---------- Previous post was at 20:06 ---------- Quote:

Re: Virgin APN settings anyone
qasdfdsaq BenMcr, have been on virgin message board and used the setting there, all pointing to Virgin links... yet when on lock screen it still say T-mobile, when I Auto select it come's back with t-mobile, I notice its a weaker signal than my Orange and Tesco sim when placed in the same phone, both sent me txt to initalise .. BUT virgin said they would but 30hr later nothing... I can make/Receive phone calls, serf the web (WIFI) receive txt message but long after they were sent, and to cap it all, txt I send to my wife, my boy gets and and same way round with my wife, sometimes my daughter gets my son's and my wife txt message and I send test TXT to my contract Orange phone, but they never arrive.... yet all the info of there profile are correct ie Phon No, e-mail address ect, I sent a message to my friend at 3pm this afternoon, only now has he got it 11:55pm.... Its a new contract sim, Its the worse sim i have ever come across to work out of the box... my eyes are bleeding from searching for a solution..

As soon as I put a UK firmware back on it, back came 'Virgin' as the network name. I'm also pretty sure a T-Mobile Pulse phone, which was locked to T-Mobile, also didn't show 'Virgin' as a network name with the SIM in it. Oh and according to Wikipedia, Virgin Mobile have their own MNC codes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code#U Quote:

For instance, these people over on XDA has a similar issue with Cyaogenmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1599259 http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ostcount=24371 Although I'm not sure what the solution is - probably to contact the people who made Stunner 2 |

Re: Virgin APN settings anyone
OK qasdfdsaq,BenMcr,dilligaf1701 I think i found a solution... take the sim that's having the connection problems out of the phone and put the sim in another mobile that is open to the sim card provider... when initialized is done, phone a friend and send a txt message, wait for reply from both .... while your doing all this DONT connect the battery to the problem mobile..... take out the sim from the test mobile and place it back in original Mobile... start it up follow setup instructions DONE.
worked a treat... :Peaceman: Thanks fellas one and all for your assistance ....... Best wishes Dave PS. not sure if a signal was sent to the simcard, that got it to working. |
