Anyone got any comment on what the network is like or what the customer service is like?

Well I been with then for a year now (NTL PAYG customer offer).

Network piggy`s backs on T-Mobile so much to my surprise no issues works virtually every where I go.

Not used CS just on line billing etc.

Downside no data tariffs so it`s costs £5 per Mb. I use T-Mobile for data (contract ending shortly so I will not be renewing) and have taken out a contract with Three for data.

Been with Virgin since first PAYGo phones (2001?) and had no mayor problems.
Reception where I currently live is a bit crap but out and about no problems.

They do cheap calls and texts with same network (Mrs on Virgin as well) and also free collection of voice messages.

I also like the fact you can set up a direct debit for PAYGO and they just take what you spend so no running out of credit ( you also have to do it you want to use abroad)

Dont use the above now as get 10% of top-ups at work :)

Always had good service from them where necessary, and ideal if you don`t want to spend loads on contracts or are a low user...

Only problem with them using T-Mobile is that coverage in the Lakes is poor (we go there several times a year...)
