I've gone through the same type of motions with their cust. service. The only recourse is to change your phone number, which is free. Also, refuse to pay the charges for incoming text-messaging. Virgin has known about this text-messaging fraud for years, therefore are intentionally complicit. They are getting a bad reputation through continuing the practice, yet will continue as they make money from the practice. I'm even starting to suspect that it may be the wireless providers themselves who are orchestrating the whole thing. Australia is one of the few countries that have a 'Scam Act' that applies to text-messaging. Look it up through Google, then contact your senators and h.of reps. We both need a stronger Act that will address text-messaging fraud by wireless providers and the actual companies doing the fraud. Virgin is not the only company taking part, as most others do as well. Anyways, its time the issue was looked at by government with input from consumers. Anyone who wants to join in this project should look me up through google or facebook. I'm in Calgary, AB, Canada. Some important questions: why won't providers give you, their customer, the name and proper phone number of the company they are sending your money to; why does government continue to allow charges for incoming text; you have call display, why doesn't the provider give the name/number of the sender, as they have it. It is irrelevant that a cell user may have given their phone number in answering surveys and such, which is how they feel they are justified to charge you.Charging for incoming text for the pupose of games, surveys, and such myst be outlawed by governement. Consumers must be given the right to end their participation without replying to the text and/or being charged for doing so! Regards, Mike Krisko Hello Michael,

The FCC and Atorney General need to look into these business practices. Virgin Mobile is a fraud. I would recommend purchasing a plane ticket and traveling to the other person's location before purchasing a Virgin Mobile phone.

However, I have come to find out that many of the free solutions require a lot of merchant hands-on. I prefer the commission business model for ecommerce providers. That model is the provider only receives a small percentage of actual sales. Mike Kniaziewicz, MIS There are many e-commerce solutions that require little or no up-front capital.
