Anyone have Virgin Mobile?

[puffpet]

I'm thinking about switching my cell phone service from Tracfone to Virgin Mobile once the Intercept is released on VM. Anyone have Virgin Mobile? How's the service, customer support, etc?

I do not have Virgin Mobile. But I heard the service is amazing, but a bit pricey. I do think it's worth it, though.

I like the phones, though...I was considering getting one before but I was a bit of a budget. So I went to BOOST Mobile instead.

Virgin Mobile is owned by Sprint and uses their network. So coverage is dependent on how good Sprint's network is in your area.

Well, they're the best value I found so far. $25/month for unlimited text + web + MMS, and 300 minutes...
What's your plan like on BOOST?

I would go with Sprint... however, my parents no longer want a contract service.
However, I do like the Intercept, which is coming out for VM eventually, and it's the same phone I was gonna get on Sprint. Plus, I get a better value on the plan with VM.

My plan: $50 for a month for unlimited calls, text, walkie talkie, and web. $5 more if you want international calling.

It's really worth it. You don't have to worry a thing about service, plus you don't even need a contract!

There are also other prepaid plans too. If you don't want to pay $50 a month, you can pay $2 a day for unlimited service. Or maybe these: $.10 a min/text message, $.35 a day for web, $1 a day for walkie talkie.

Curious.... what type of phone are you looking for? Smart phone? Flip phone? Having web service is really a waste unless you get a phone that can handle it properly.

Doesn't that cost more than than the monthly plan?

To me, it's a lot more affordable than having to pay a whole bunch every month on a contract. The individual prices I mentioned last are the ones who don't want unlimited service.

Frankly I'll get any phone... looking really at either a smart phone (e.g. Samsung Intercept) or just a feature-packed flip or touch screen phone.

Actually I am exploring getting a MiFi from VM. 40 bucks a month for unlimited internet access. I have that with Tmobile for the same price but I would like to get a mifi product and Sprint has a bit better coverage in the more rural areas of where I travel at times. Let me know if you get them and how they are
