General Comments

I'm really sorry I subscribed to Virgin. You can't send text messages overseas which is a big downer for me. the rates are expensive. If Branson put more money into creating a better service instead of throwing money at a massive marketing campaign then perhaps I wouldn't be so angry.

    Two points:- 1. Unused airtime DOES carry over when you top up. The only time you lose the balance is if you go a total of 5 MONTHS without topping, then you lose balance and phone number but within 60 MORE DAYS after that you can have your deactivation balance restored but not your phone number. 2. You can text internationally, you just have to send it to the email address for the other persons cell phone. VM's would be yourcellnumber@vmobl.com. Gotta find the domain for the other carrier and you can send SMS internationally. Hope that helps :D
