that normally happens if the networks have "blocked" the IMEI number as the phone has been reported "lost/stolen"

the networks share info with each other but it does not always happen simultaneously..

where did you get the phone from ??

bought it off ebay, does that mean it will be blocked by virgin or just the remaining networks

got the horrible feeling it will spread across all the networks,

get posts on here with people saying the same thing quite often..

your only chance if you have the original receipt from the seller on Ebay with the phone is to go to Vodafone and tell them what has happened..

otherwise...it will make a nice paperweight...but if you go to the other side of the irish border on holiday it might work
