iphone+virgin - where do i get my edge settings from?

I've just got my iPhone and am trying to set up the internet. i'm currently using my wireless to jump on but i need to set up for when i am on the road. I know I need to put my details in the EDGE section. From other posts i guess I use VirginInternet for the APN but where do I get the username and password? Should the salesman have given this to me? or do you sign up on the internet?

You need to make sure you have a data plan with Virgin and it is enabled.

The enter as the APN; VirginInternet (with the capitals)

Leave the username and password blank.

That should work.

Also this post shows you how to save APN settings instead of having to plug them in each time you turn off/on the phone.
