5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Need a Stink'n Contract, June 13, 2005

I shopped around before deciding to go with Virgin Mobile. I was a previous Sprint PCS customer so I knew the Virgin Mobile Network would be adequate (they use the Sprint Network). The Virgin Mobile plan is simple and there are no hidden fees. Here is the breakdown...$0.25 a minute for the first 10 minutes of the day and $0.10 a minute after that. Or, $0.35 a day and $0.10 a minute. Text messaging is free to receive and $0.10 to send.

You have to top-off your Virgin Mobile phone at least $20.00 every 90 days. If you don't use your phone much, but enjoy the convenience of having it, it will only cost $6.66 a month to operate.

2.0 out of 5 stars Expiration date; poor service, January 21, 2005

Please be aware of two things about Virgin pre-paid:

1) Each top-up card has an expiration date. If you are unlucky like I was last time, you might get a card that expires a couple days after you receive it, and then if you didn't notice, you'd be screwed out of $50.

2) Don't count on Virgin to help you. Their customer service sucks. Long wait times, unhelpful service reps, and just annoying website.

If there's a 7-11 in your neighborhood, you may want to check out their Speak-Up prepaid service, which is cheaper and has better phones, plus your balance is good for one whole year (as opposed to 3 months with Virgin).

I've had 3 prepaid phones. TracFone, completely horrible. Never think of buying it! T-Mobile, pay too much for your minutes. (okay if you want a nice phone, and only for emergencies) And last Virgin Mobile, the BEST one. They are mostly month-2-month. Basically you buy a phone card every 30 days. Their plans can go to (lowest) $15/month with 100 minutes, to (highest) $60/month with 600 minutes and unlimited nights and weekends. They also offer plans between them. Virgin Mobile is almost like any other cell phone company except its all prepaid. You can chose the plan, you can chose texting plans, AND nights are from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Thats 3 extra hours compared to the nights starting at 9 and ending at 6. Of course, that extra early hour may not be useful to some people, but then again, it could. You are never held to any contract. And almost everything can be done online! Activating phone, adding air time, changing your plan. And when adding phone cards to your account, you don't have to call a number. You can do it right on your phone! I have put a lot research into virgin mobile, and come to the conclusion, its pretty great for a prepaid cell phone company.
