Mine's still out at 2:30AM in Minnesota. Went out around 5ish.

**Kahroo** · 03-19-2011, 03:16 AM

Mine went out at 7 and didn't come on till 12(Maybe cause it was syncing data and my 3G never works when it syncs). It's working fine. NJ

3g was down last night in indianapolis, back up today with blazing fast speed off 105kbs down 56 kbs up lol

**danthemanohhyea** · 03-19-2011, 07:41 AM

Mine was down yesterday from about 6pm til 11pm.
I'm in southeastern Wisconsin.

**Nimh27** · 03-19-2011, 08:36 AM

3G was down yesterday afternoon around 3pm PST North of Seattle. I checked around 10pm and still nothing... No connection now either even after toggling airport mode and a full reboot.

I've had my phone for about a month and this is getting old quickly.

I took a trip last night, and thought "Oh I won't need to print any directions, I have my phone." I get like 20 miles down the road and the data goes out. That's really annoying .. I needed the Navigation. I ended up getting lost.

**zeppo_marx** · 03-19-2011, 09:09 AM

Mine went out in Brooklyn, NY on March 18 after 8pm. It's still out and it's been 14 hours.

**zeppo_marx** · 03-19-2011, 09:12 AM

Mine has been down for 14 hours. I called and got yelled at by their representative. She just kept saying "I already told you," with each new question I asked her.

**sicembaylor** · 03-19-2011, 09:32 AM

3G was down in NE Oklahoma yesterday and into the evening. It's back up, but a bit more sluggish than normal.

**bigsupersquid** · 03-19-2011, 09:52 AM

My data was down last night from 6 central time until after 10:30 sometime overnight. (central MO)
Lost data service on all three devices we use: Optimus V, Rumor Touch, and Novatel USB modem. Sometimes one of those will work while the others don't, or one won't work while the others do. Different PRL's on the V and Touch. Not sure of the PRL on the USB stick.

**dachiefmizzy** · 03-19-2011, 11:45 AM

My data was down most of last night as well. From 7pm to 1am EST. I tried toggling airplane mode, reboot, battery pull, activate app, and no luck. It came back up this morning around 10am. I still have time to return my Optimus since this has been happening to me daily and it seems like virgin mobile doesn't care.

**angelpenny48** · 03-19-2011, 02:00 PM

mine was out also here in illinoisyesterday till atleast 2am

I was in the same situation. Ended up stopping at a Mcdonalds, to get a free wifi connection.

**Nimh27** · 03-19-2011, 06:53 PM

I'm at better than 24 hours without 3G now. Are the rest of you folks back to a "stable" connection?

**joryb** · 03-19-2011, 06:58 PM

mines stable but slow as can be like always. I used gps on a 2 hour drive today with no problems

**larrytxeast** · 03-19-2011, 07:55 PM

I got my LG Optimus V yesterday , and 24+ hours later, I have not been able to get on at all, not even with Virgin Mobile resetting the network, me turning airplane mode off-on, pulling the battery, turning the phone off-on. Absolutely NOTHING works. (Phone calls & texts are okay, and Wi-Fi is fine, but not Virgin Mobile data.)

A 2nd phone call today confirmed: an outage is in effect. But for how long? Good Lord.

Same thing happened to me..

Try to leave work and see relative that was hospitalized and in ICU. Pop up the navigation App so I can rush to hospital....All I hear is "No Data"

Getting very frustrated because every time I have needed data for something important, it goes down.

Between the phone dropping data connection and the service constantly being out I am glad I did not port from T-mobile yet.

Today, no data in South NJ for a short period.

**Delaware River** · 03-19-2011, 09:55 PM

Is this the norm? I'm in Hunterdon County, NJ.

I let it go last night because my number was being ported over from AT&T. But this morning, it took 2 calls for Virgin Mobile to fess up that there was a data outage.

I really want to know if this is the norm because a great package means nothing if you aren't getting what it offers.
