I tried the usual 07... 00447.. and +447... prefixes nothing worked. GGGRRR!!!

I wasn't the only one with this problem. I met a businessman who ran his business from his smartphone on Virgin, he had the same trouble. He told me he had met others in the same crappy predicament all on Virgin.

Virgin what are you doing to your customers? Are you trying to shed customers?

Same for me in Marbella last month, you can only receive calls and send and receive texts. You can't phone out to anyone as it won't work.

Rang Virgin after coming home who said it's a problem in Spain and the Orange network.
