Free Virgin Mobile Phone w/ Card Purchase

Virgin Mobile is frequently willing to offer a phone for free with the purchase of a minutes card. This has always impressed me because it’s rare to see other companies whom are willing to offer a phone for free without a contract, much less for a simple $20 purchase. People don’t want to be sinking their cash in their phone, they want to be buying minutes!

The phone offered for free frequently changes. Currently they are listing the Aloha ($9.99) and the Marbl ($9.99) as free. For the Aloha and Marbl, you simply pay the $9.99 and they ship the phone to you for free with ground shipping and no activation charge. Once you activate, they apply $9.99 in airtime to your account.

In the past VM used to allow you to add a $20 card to your account, and the currently promoted phone. This way the card was not locked to the phone. They haven’t done this in a year or more, so I’m doubting we will ever see that again.

If you don’t like to Aloha or Marbl, you can always just order it and another phone. Keep the one you choose as a backup to the phone you really wanted to order. Just activate your account with the Aloha/Marbl, and than call in to change over to the phone you really wanted. The minutes will transfer and you’ll have a bonus backup phone, aye?
