I ordered a new phone last month16/4/21 it arrived next day without a sim . I contacted VM they said your current sim is fine to use so we will not be sending one. Come to Sunday16/5/21 at 00.10 my sim no longer works. Phone them on  Monday morning17/5/21 and they claim they have sent me out a new sim a month ago . When the sim was deactivated on the 16/5/21 I lost the ability to make/receive phone calls an any access to internet data yet I was still able to send and receive SMS messages. If it is deactivated then how am I still able to do that? I had received no warning regarding my sim being deactivated and I find it difficult to believe that they had sent me a new sim a month ago when I was told you will not need a new sim. If I have not received the sim first time around how can I have faith that I will be receiving this new one sent out in 3-5 days, you can get a handset to me in under 24hours yet a sim takes this long? The real issue I have is that I am now unable to use the mobile data to order cabs to and from the hospital for myself as I have weekly appointments or even worse that I have a six month old baby who is under a consultant for seizures who I am waiting for a phone call from who is now unable to contact me and I am unable to contact them due to virgin mobiles inept practices.  I had no warning this was going to happen and I was lied to at the start when I was told you do not need a new sim. This is actually potentially putting a life a risk.
