Virgin Mobile Coverage

It's been well documented that coverage in Northern Ireland is easily the worst in the UK. Now that T-Mobile and Orange share their network this should improve things for Virgin customers. I do agree that o2 is the best coverage over here but when you go further into the sticks it's a really hit or miss with any network over here sadly.

We’ve always used the T-Mobile network, which covers over 99% of the UK population to provide our service. But from this summer, we’ll use the Everything Everywhere network (the company formed by Orange and T-Mobile). So in some areas where the coverage would otherwise dip, you’ll automatically be able to use either the T-Mobile or the Orange network at the same great Virgin Mobile rates. You're covered.

Missus got the Blackberry offer. No problems with it so far bar the GPS is not enabled for some reason so she cant checkin on facebook! Coverage is fine and she has doing a lot of running about.
