Virgin Mobile problems

Mobile phone wireless communications provider Virgin Mobile, allows its users to make calls and send texts etc in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and many other countries. But when there is a Virgin Mobile signal outage, users can become somewhat a little irritated.

Virgin Mobile problems

Virgin mobile problems with 3G and signal problems come up a lot, as so does connection issues where there is none of the above or data. Users do experience on a number of occasions where phone calls and text messages are not being sent or received. Network issues can happen on both tablets and mobile phones, and when these do occur customers will send in their complaints.

You can buy special additions to increase Virgin Mobile signal, and to do this all you need to do is get a booster. But if there is a total VM outage then a booster will not help you in the slightest.

Check below for the latest reports from other Virgin Mobile users, you can also take a look at the help and support links to the right of this page for where you can send in your complaints.

    I have had problems in TH EN11 9DG area for years but in the last year(after I gather that some transmitters were turned off) it have become appalling. 90% of the time cannot even send text messages unless I go to a particular window or into the road. It is the same for my neighbours.

  • Andy B
