Well they announced they are getting the Galaxy S3 and that uses Micro SIM, so I would say that is official

Ok

If only my contract was up sooner

Just to be clear micro SIMs will be initally supplied with the phones that need them only

Also there is an issue with the iPhone and the Orange roaming - basically the iPhone doesn't know that Virgin use the Orange network, so you lose data access when on Orange as it tries to be helpful and uses the Orange data settings (there is a way around it but it requires some technical knowledge)

Makes sense

You can bet they will be a lot of people suddenly claiming there sim is faulty and wanting a new one

Surely you just turn on data roaming in the settings?

Nope, doesn't work. Long thread about it over on Community forum. This is post that explains it http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/.../962307#M10156 (and has the fix)

I have the 3gs on virgin and can never get the orange network to work on my phone but my girlfriend also has the 3gs on virgin with exactly the same settings as me and she can get the orange network

When I was on virgin mobile earlier on this year I had both tmobile/orange data working in my iPhone 4.

It did take a lot of messing to get it sorted and accessing the apn settings to do so was a pain but it was sortable.

I wonder if they will be able to beat this deal when they do get the Samsung Galaxy S3.............https://www.secure-mobiles.com/check..._utmk=28970234
