I have had no mobile network since 11 30 on my virgin mobile (no calls/texts or data) and its 5.30 hrs since the incident and still no sign of a fix

I use it for my work as well ,any idea as to what wrong and if a customer gets any relief from the network( like a discount in the bill) for such incidents?

Never noticed if I had problems with my phone, but had an email from Virgin today.....
Hello,
We’re sorry if your mobile service was disrupted on Tuesday. We know it caused issues for some of our customers, so we’re giving you 5GB of extra data to use this Sunday at no extra cost.


I don't even use 1GB of the 5GB per month I get now! laugh

Yes, from Virgin website.....
We’re giving our consumer customers 5GB extra data to use on Sunday 19th May, at no extra cost. The 5GB extra data can be used on Sunday from 00:01 to 23:59.

If you’re a Virgin Mobile consumer customer with an unlimited SIM, we’ll credit your account with the price of one day’s airtime - you’ll see this on your next bill.
