The issues have persisted for over three hours, leading to widespread frustration among customers who rely on the mobile application for connectivity.

Customers reported not only issues with voice calls but also difficulties accessing the Virgin Mobile app and internet services. Users took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express their concerns, highlighting the impact on their work and daily communications.

One user tweeted, “Virgin mobile and internet down!” tagging the company for attention, while another lamented the inability to contact their “team at the site, nor customers.”

As residents grappled with the ongoing issues, frustrations grew over the lack of customer support, with some noting that “team support” appeared to be unavailable and customer service channels were unresponsive.

This has raised concerns about the reliability of Virgin Mobile’s services, especially given the critical role of mobile connectivity in professional and personal contexts.

It was observed that the outage occurred during peak hours, exacerbating the disruption’s impact on those attempting to conduct business or manage personal matters.

As of the latest updates, Virgin Mobile has yet to provide a specific timeline for when services will be fully restored, with a representative stating that “the service should be back soon in no time.”
