what transmiters do virgin share???

[dj.GETAFIX]

im guessing that virgin have to use another network's towers as there one
of the smaller mobile providers...
im in belfast and get really bad reception wich is strange since im in the biggest city in norther ireland...
dose anybody know what network virgin uses in the uk and is the desire known for weak signals??

Virgin run on T-Mobile's backbone
And my Desire has the same (poor..ish) reception in my livingroom as did my previous Nokia and Sony Ericsson units.

yeah i get the same in my livingroom. i have to connect the headset and leave the phone next to the window to get 2 bars on it...
is the t-mobile backbone like a lower frequency of there main service??

I get a really poor signal at home, have to stand up in the bedroom to get even a weak signal. Hoping that Tmob is better in my area when the networks share transmitters from next month...

Virgin are a virtual network like Tesco etc, running on the tmob network.
