Editor’s Review of Virgin Mobile

Overall, I rate Virgin Mobile the highest. Having worked with Virgin Mobile (I am no longer associated with VM) I know the insides and outs of Virgin Mobile. The main thing I love about VM is the fact that they always offer promotions. If you ask a representative when topping up if there are any promotions that you qualify for they will tell you.

Virgin Mobile also offers some of the best monthly plans with awesome features such as unlimited text messaging/picture messaging/email, and unlimited web browsing.

Price

Offering both monthly and per minute usage, VM is able to offer the best price based on your usage. Your also able to change your plan at any time, with no contract.

They charge 10 cents a minute, but monthly plans get free nights and weekends starting at 7pm.

Phones

Virgin Mobile definitely does not offer the best phones, but they do offer the cheapest! You can get a free phone usually when you are a new customer and buy airtime. If your looking for a phone with a lot of cool features and not simply a backup or a throw away, than your better off somewhere else.

Features

Unlimited text messaging and internet are available, a long with value added services such as Sugar Momma or the service when you can request a call from your phone that will provide you with an urgent call prompt requiring your departure: allowing you to escape from a date gone bad or an annoying neighbor.

Support

Virgin Mobile customer service is 24/7/265, and they are more than willing to help troubleshoot phone issues or answer questions regarding your phone or service.

Service Area

Virgin Mobile uses Sprint’s mobile network to provide service to their customers, which is a highly rated and widespread network!

Text Messaging

Unlimited Text messaging is available. Without an unlimited text plan text messages range from 10 cents, to 5 cents, to 1 cent – depending on whether you have a text plan or pay for each message.

Picture messaging is included in unlimited plans, but without they are 25 cents apiece.

Internet

Without an internet plan you are charged $1.50 for every 24 hour time period you use internet browsing. With an internet plan you are charged between $1 and 50 cents for every MB you use.
