Re: Simlock abroad

Hi Snou,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums 🙂 

I am so sorry to hear you have been having issues with your Phone. Can you confirm for me, if the handset on provided by us? Is the phone unlocked?

Thank you for your reply Snou,

Your IMEI was removed as this is a public platform and you cannot share your personal details.

Was the phone purchased from Virgin?

Re: Simlock abroad

Hi Snou, 

Thank you for your reply, was the phone purchased from us directly? As our handsets purchased directly are unlocked. Does the handset work with a Virgin SIM?

Re: Simlock abroad

Do you have data roaming turned on @snou?

Virgin network in Sweden is totally different from Virgin UK. There are a number of Virgin Mobile Networks around the globe and the only thing they have in common is the name 

This begs the question as to if this is a Virgin UK phone?. As mentioned, Virgin UK have not sim locked handsets for quite some time.
