Hello Alex,
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned in the article that most Virgin Network users do not need to change their phone settings to access Virgin Plus Mobile Data once they reach Canada. Well, I had to change the APN values to start browsing. I think you should mention it in your article.
Hello Valentina,
DeleteWelcome to CoreNetworkz Tech Solutions. I have updated the article with your experience after reaching Canada.
Hi Alex,
ReplyDeleteI purchased a Samsung Galaxy phone from India but soon will go to Canada. I will bring this phone, but can I take Virgin Plus Internet on this phone once I reach there?
Hello Subhra,
DeleteYes, you can.
Thank you, Alex, for this tutorial. I have a Virgin Mobile subscription from UAE, and my last vacation was in Vancouver. I had doubts whether this SIM would work in Canada. But, no issues at all. All I had to do was replace the UAE APN with Canada APN, as you suggested.
