I recently gave my Mrs my old HTC desire which was orignally on the vodafone network, however the phone appears unlocked as any sim card works even calls on holiday in Vietnam with vietnmese sim cards worked fine.
Now I've done a factory reset on the phone and installed the virgin sim card calls are great wifi works well but no 3g? I've been on the phone to virgin tech support for hours but still no joy in getting the 3g to work.
I input apn settings manualy from the virgin web site:

Below are the details of your settings
Name: Virgin 3G IP Address: 193.30.166.4 Username: (none) Password: (none) Homepage: Virgin Mobile Bites Server Address: Virgin Portal
Can anyone please shed some light as to what to try next.
