Alex 0 «12» Comments N-I-C-K Posts: 3,268 Forum Member✭✭✭ Virgin uses T-Mobile's network. 0 Is it me or are T-Mob. and Virgin Mobile the same company? Alex No, Virgin just pay T-Mobile so virgin can use there transmiters, just like Tesco, is using o2. Cheaper for networks to do this, as they dont have to pay for all the new transmitters, and stuff. Virgin and T-mobile had a arguement a little while back, and virgin was thinking of using a different network to supply the service, but t-mob, and virgin sorted this, and have some sort of 10yr deal 0 sounds like they are the same comp. 0 katie Posts: 1,837 Forum Member✭✭✭ Virgin and T-Mobile are not the same company. Virgin, if I remember rightly, is a company in it's own right with many subsidiaries. T-Mobile's parent company is Deutsche Telekom. Katie. 0 BexTech Posts: 12,957 Forum Member✭✭ T-Mobile and Virgin are not the same Company. Virgin at one time was a 50:50 joint venture. But now Virgin Mobile is 100% owned by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group and is the UK's first mobile virtual operator, it uses T-Mobile's network. It just 'rents' space on the T-Mobile network, for want of better words, like Sky rent space off Astra. 0 virgin sims work in tmobile phones but tmobile sims dont work on virgin phones. 0 BexTech Posts: 12,957 Forum Member✭✭ Is it me or are T-Mob. and Virgin Mobile the same company? Alex Hi Alex, how many VCRs do you own? 0 System Posts: 2,096,970 Forum Member✭✭✭✭✭ Hi Alex, how many VCRs do you own? Greetings "Papryus", I personally own three VCR's - which I have in my loft conversion - 2 are connected together (The LG and Bush are connected together) The Matsui is connected to the Mediamaster also the Matsui is connected to the DVD Player. It's the only one that doesen't bugger up on Macro Vision when recording DVD to VHS. Alex 0 BexTech Posts: 12,957 Forum Member✭✭ I think Papyrus, was trying to imply, aren't all VCRs made by JVC? 0 System Posts: 2,096,970 Forum Member✭✭✭✭✭ I think Papyrus, was trying to imply, aren't all VCRs made by JVC? Call me a pillock but, maybe I'm, losing the plot but - VCR's are made by various manafacturers. What was he implying? Alex 0 BexTech Posts: 12,957 Forum Member✭✭ JVC invented the VHS VCR. Saying T-Mobile and Virgin are the same company, is like saying all your VCRs are made by JVC. 0 Right this is a bit complicated .... There are two types of mobile operator Physical Operators (5 in the UK) MMO2 Vodafone T Mobile Orange and Three and Virtual operators examples Tesco Sainsbury Virgin BT Mobile The difference is that the Physical operators actually own the network infrastructure. The Virtual operators don't they buy capacity on other networks in bulk. Virgin and BT Mobile both do this using T-Mobile's network. Hope that helps. 0 Right this is a bit complicated ....

And you forgot Fresh & 0 Sorry to have caused any confusion, I was cheekily remarking at the detail of 'Services' that Alex Hudson has - not that it's too much you understand... He or she has 3 VCRs. Virgin & T-Mobile, the same company? I see this question asked occasionally and it had been largely answered, so I had no real comment to make. 0 Do you actually get a different network or do you just get an o2 sim card with the phones? 0 Whenever you buy a phone, on pay as you go or pay monthly, you will be connected to the service. The SIM card will be in the phone. Many phones are locked to the network. You can't use other SIM cards on different networks. Phone operators charge to unlock your phone but it is best to go to a local phone shop who deals with SIM unlocks usually priced from a fiver. 0 System Posts: 2,096,970 Forum Member✭✭✭✭✭ virgin sims work in tmobile phones but tmobile sims dont work on virgin phones. So, regardless of whatever T-Mobile phone i bought - weather it was an old one (when it was One 2 One) i could use a virgin sim in their old moblies? And if i have a new T- Mob i could use a virgin sim in their too ? Alex 0 BexTech Posts: 12,957 Forum Member✭✭ Yes you can put a Virgin SIM in a T-Mobile(One2One) phone, but can not put a T-Mobile SIM in a Virgin phone. I have not tried putting a T-Mobile SIM in a Virgin phone myself, but have been told on many occasions it can't be done, unless unlocked. But I have put a Virgin SIM into a T-Mobile phone, and so have a few of my friends and family and they have all worked fine. 0 I have not tried putting a T-Mobile SIM in a Virgin phone myself, but have been told on many occasions it can't be done, unless unlocked. I have always found I could put sim cards from any network into a virgin phone... or maybe thats just me being lucky 0 BexTech Posts: 12,957 Forum Member✭✭ I know the Carphone Warehouse were selling some Virgin Mobiles that were not locked, don't know when from and if they still are. 0 I have always found I could put sim cards from any network into a virgin phone... or maybe thats just me being lucky Did you by any chance buy your phone from The Carphone Warehouse? as their phones are always unlocked as they just give you a phone and they give you a joining pack with it for what network you want it on. 0 oops sorry posted at the same time lol 0 pjb007 Posts: 13,153 Forum Member✭✭ Is it me or are T-Mob. and Virgin Mobile the same company?

Moje doświadczenia z Play: 1. przy automatycznym wyborze operatora - ciągłe przełączanie między sieciami -> drenowanie baterii i non stop naliczanie nowych sesji netu (miałem kilkadziesiąt sesji w ciągu dnia) 2. przy ręcznym wyborze operatora - mimo wyboru, wymuszanie przełączenia na sieć macierzystą, zlecenie wyłączenia odświeżania karty SIM nie pomogło, w niektórych miejscach Warszawy wręcz całkowita utrata zasięgu 3. niezależnie od sposobu wyboru operatora - bardzo często zapchane punkty styku i mimo pełnego zasięgu przychodził SMS, że ktoś próbował się do mnie dodzwonić 4. na zasięgu własnym - bardzo niska jakość połączeń głosowych 5. świetne usługi dodane (Stop Spam, SMS na e-mail, bramka SMS, Play24 w poprzednim wydaniu) 6. obsługa klienta przez portal internetowy na szkolną ocenę 4+ Permanentnie powtarzające się punkty 1-3 zdecydowały o moim odejściu z Play. Uważam tę sieć za dobrą do n-tego numeru, ale nie dla głównego. Zmigrowałem do Orange dla firm, gdzie oferta była OK, ale jakość też słaba: 1. dławiący się internet - zamarzające sesje 2. prędkość netu bardzo niska - w pracy ok. 7 Mbps, w domu 1,5 Mbps. 3. na imprezach masowych telefon kompletnie przestawał działać (dużo ludzi, za mała wydajność sieci) 4. wielokrotne błędy w naliczaniu opłat za usługi, co miesiąc musiałem dokładnie śledzić fakturę (wszystkie reklamacje zasadne) 5. w roamingu zagranicznym jakość taka sobie, net średnio stabilny, niezależnie od operatora 6. obsługa klienta przez portal internetowy na szkolną ocenę 4-. Od roku jestem w Plusie (Plush): 1. przedpotopowe zarządzanie kodami USSD, często coś nie działa lub działa inaczej niż powinno 2. równie archaiczny serwis internetowy 3. po każdej aktualizacji iOS zapomina ustawień MMS-ów 4. ale płacę mniej, a jakość korzystania na poziomie lepszym od obu ww. 5. net zrywa bardzo bardzo rzadko, a prędkość w pracy 140 Mbps, w domu 30 Mbps, poza Polską net też działa bardzo dobrze. 6. bateria schodzi zauważalnie wolniej niż w Play i Orange (co w sumie dziwne, bo Orange to sieć certyfikowana przez Apple, Play też choć tam baterię drenuje roaming krajowy). 7. obsługa klienta telefonicznie woła o pomstę do nieba (szkolna ocena 1=), mailowo lepiej (ocena 3), a przez Plusforum najlepiej (4-). O T-Mobile się nie wypowiem, bo nigdy nie byłem tam z głównym numerem (zniechęciły mnie ceny). Miałem tam jeszcze niedawno tylko net mobilny (10/10/10) i pamiętam beznadziejny serwis internetowy i mobilny.
