Vodafone Nokia 5800 and Virgin Mobile Sim - Help!

Rhumba Tam · 22-10-2009, 9:07 PM

I have recently ditched Vodafone after 10 years and taken a Virgin Mobile contract. I want to keep using my Vodafone Nokia 5800 and didn't think this would be a problem as I've used an Orange PAYG sim card in it previously.

However, when I put my Virgin sim in it, it is useable but comes up as being connected to T Mobile, I can't access the internet and it doesn't have the look of a Virgin phone.

What can I do? Do I need to unlock my handset?

No your phone is already unlocked. You just need to add the virgin mobile internet settings. Have a look on the virgin mobile web site.

The operator logo is showing as t-mobile becuase virgin use the t-mobile network. Same happeneds on my 5800.
