OH JK I UNDERSTAND NOW OOPS
I’ve tried several times to obtain my email text address and sent the email but it never came back with anything… How long does it usually take?
I won’t email on my cell phone
whats it mean when your phone power keeps switchin off and on sayin “”error fatal fs_device.C 123” …………….. And how would u Be able to Get Your Contacts From Your PHone if it keeps doing that??
I tried it, but it do not work for me 🙁
I love Virgin Mobile I have the samsung Intercept android 2.1 and for 40$ a month have what my friends pay 100$ plus a month . I get anything and everything from this phone. Just didn’t like the price almost 300$ and not having a true 3G network. Sometimes this phones speed reminds me of a Comodore64 if ne1 remembers that computer. Ok my question is can VM give me a printout of my text messages from a certain phone # .
hey pals! one thing, I am trying to solve the same problem. Could it be that those having problems is because they use a non 3 band supporting wireless phone?
this is the only logical cause I see from Spain, where only me receives my sister's sms from virgin mobile in US, as some other friends do not when their phone is not tri-band.
can you please check and report?
cheers.
doesn't work. period.
Unfortunately Virgin Mobile Does Not Allow You To Save Ringtones Unless You Purchase Through Their Service.sorry.=(
But there aren’t any ringtones available for that phone on their website.
I have done it through myxer.com and it works
i tried almost 100 times trying to get just 1 pic and 1 ringtone sent to my phone and not a single one of the attempts worked. i had a friend send me the potential ringtone via text message attachment, when i went to save the sound file, it went straight to "voice memo" and i cant make it go into the ringtone category. i have a samsung mantra through virgin mobile. can someone please help me out with this problem?
Here's the answer: http://hubpages.com/hub/LG-Rumor-Touch-Get-your-r…
ihave one of those to and it doesnt work for me either what ami doing wrong?
I have a Mantra too and it's been driving me nuts trying to get my own ringtones on there. Sorry Virgin Mobile, no you're not carrying the latest Japanese rock hits last time I checked. Fail. So I feel your pain. They seem to have gotten every loophole out there on the Mantra. There's no card slot, no downloads available and they even made it so you can't use your voice memos as a ringtone either. It's extremely disappointing. I've heard even people with the datacable and programs like BitPim can't get ringtones on it. Virgin Mobile I like how cheap your rates are, but I do not like not being able to have Monochrome no Kiss as my ringtone.
i'm having the same exact problem. ugh i wish i could make voice memos ringtones!!!!
i bought that phone because virgin mobile said that phone resives sms text and found out after i bought it $70.00 it does not
how do you send RINGTONES?
Well first u have to change the file extinction(dada.mp3) to(dada.3g2) which will allow u to set as ringtone and send it but som people might not be able to set it as a ringtine cuz there fone can have a different hard disk
i tried that .. it didnt work for me…
i have been trying to send a picture from my pc to my cell and i finnally did it 🙂 thank you for posting this information 🙂

Nice offer from vergin mobile but TATA indicom was offers 1000 SMS free in Rs. 30 now i think they increase rate.
in my opinion virgin mobile is the best prepaid option out there. I have tried Net 10 but is very basic in my area. Does anyone know how to blog picture and comment from your mobile phone with sms. i can send info to my blog but it does not upload the picture

I tried to send a pic to my virgin mobile using the vmpix.com twice and it came over as a blue screen, did I do something wrong??
Hi! The newer Virgin Mobile “number sequence” for sending pics over to your phone is your 10 digit number @pixmbl.com Good Luck!
how do you send pix from the phone to email?
how do you open attachments when you send via e-mail
how do you send ringtones to your virgin mobile
To answer my own question. You send pictures to your Virgin mobile phone by using your pictures email address your 10 digit phone number followed by @vmpix.com (e.g. 5555555555@vmpix.com)Hope this helps everyone!
What's my "pictures email address"?
they ment your picture, emailaddress, and your 10 digit phone number
How do you send pictures to a virgin mobile phone? (e.g. Slider Sonic)
Bruce, thanks for the pointer — I had a typo in the info above. I’ve fixed it!
Why is the word “T-Mobile” included on the line above regarding ‘more’ Virgin Mobile information?
