Problems with Virgin mobile coverage

wadewade

I've just started looking for a new mobile. I would quite like to add one to my Virgin Media package as prices seem competitive and it includes free calls from my landline to my mobile.

While I was in a shop looking at possible models an assistant said Virgin had the worst coverage in the country. Is this true?

uses T-Mobile. Wouldn't say they were much worse than others. An assistant saying something like that gets me suspicious as to what network he prefers to sell for commission etc.

i have had a virgin mobile phone for 10 years, never had any major coverage issues.

If you are worried about coverage in a particular area, you could look at their coverage checker

Thank you, all of you, that's pretty conclusive and the coverage map confirms it.

T-Mobile and Orange now share their networks and automatically switch you between them if you lose your signal. I'm guessing this would be the same for Virgin if they piggyback on the network (??)
