I have had a Virgin mobile contract coming upto 2 years now, after switching from o2. The first mistake (admittedly, my own) was opting for a Blackberry curve (Avoid!) but that's for another review. The online billing and the deal itself is okay. The major letdown is the signal. Living in a relatively large town you would expect to have a good constant signal, however......no. I think the expression is...."up and down like a whore's drawers" It really is that bad.
