Yeh, I got it this morning!  . It takes a good 3 days to sort everything out.. so ill have to wait till then! Otherwise, great coverage, and for the mo, FREE GPRS!!! . By the way, I get GPRS coverage everywhere but my mate who lives all of 100m from me gets none on vodafone UK! 
Also, its the O2 Online Tarrif... which means you get no low cost CC, but on the web and a premiem number (50p/min)
Good luck!

Hi all.. the SIM is great thanks! 
2 on ebay £15 (1 for me, 1 for my mate!). Popped it in my phone, topped up a tenna tuesday night, free txts working wednesday morning. GPRS amazing, oh so quick, email working gd! Havent set up MMS yet and the coverage is amazing!
I have one message: GET 1! 3p txts on Virgin was good for a while, then evry one else went on different networks and it lost its 'magic'
Good luck every1!

this is taken from a email from virgin that i got yesterday
"We're hoping to launch our GPRS service at the end of this year.
Although we still don't support this service, we're committed to bringing new services to our customers. Just look at how our VirginXtras services have grown - and there are more to come.
Some of the new VirginXtras we're hoping to bring in may use GPRS. Our team is developing ideas as we speak. "
this is so frustrating,im going to buy an 02 sim.

Virgin are making excuses now, Virgin Xtras were crap when my Mum got her State of the Art Ericsson 1018 ad when I gotr my T300 in May last year, they are still crap! I have never used them and never will do.. convert to O2!
