Virgin Mobile USA – No Data Connection (3G)

If you’ve been battling Virgin Mobile USA’s technical support drones and have been unable to get 3G data access, check that 3G data is enabled on your phone.

From the main screen:

  • Press the menu button
  • Select Settings
  • Select Wireless & Networks
  • Scroll to the bottom of the menu and select Mobile Networks
  • Make sure “Data Enabled” has a green check mark next to it

Virgin Mobile USA (i.e. Sprint) was unable to solve this after three phone calls over the course of a day. Their technical support script jumps straight into cellular network settings and battery removal.
