Virgin Radio via your mobile

Just surfing around and found this. It’s Virgin Radio via GPRS/3G. I was expecting poor quality sound, with it cutting out every 30 seconds as per streaming over dial-up, however I’m pleasantly surprised to find that the quality is great, and that it hasn’t stopped once.
The only problem is that an hours listening equals about 7.2mb of data, which isn’t cheap.
Hopefully we’ll see more stations use this technology in the near future.

    Doesn’t work for me - just sits there connecting… :o(

    Hmm, try it in another cell area or you could do a software reset by taking out the battery whilst the phone is on, or you could try uninstalling the software and then reinstalling it.
    Oh dear, this job is really taking over my life!
