I just purchased an LG Optimus V from Radio Shack yesterday to try it out, along with the $25 a month plan. It places calls & sends texts okay, but it absolutely WILL NOT do any Internet activity whatsoever over the Virgin Mobile network (it will over wi-fi).
I have called them & had them reset the network, I've power-cycled, removed the battery, engaged-disengaged airport mode--no matter, it absolutely will not work one bit, even if all the bars are full. It has been this way from the very start, I've not done any "rooting" or overclocking of any type.
Is there something I'm missing? I can't imagine what else there is to do. I think I recall seeing a posting where someone said they had a 0 balance on their account (although it was paid up), they simply added $3 to it & it was working fine--but it would seem silly to have to have extra funds on there for that purpose.
(Note to moderators: if this belongs in some other forum and needs to be moved, that's fine, this seemed to be the one closest to my question.)
