When I saw my brother get a cell phone, I said,"Hey those are cool!" So of course I went to get one. I got what the topic clearly states. Virgin Mobile. It was great at first fiddling with a K9 Rave because hey, I dident see any better ones there.
So here I go loving this phone every minute. But then one day I saw my freind with a Virizon Wireless camera phone. (Didnt look at it long anough to see what modile. I said,"DAMN! Thats a hot phone!" It was a flip. Thats all I can say. From then on I wanted a flip phone. My mom wanted me to stick with Virgin Mobile. So I said alright. I'll find a flip phone made by Virgin. IN COLOR. So I searhed. Couldent find one. So I sobbed and continued with my little K9-Rave. It wasent until I saw an advertisment in a magazine for the new Virgin Mobile Audio Vox 8610! In color!!!
I said,"Great a color phone! Now I can get this one!!! Was in 9th grade at that time. Now in 10th. I bought it with my money I got at my job. I was loveing it alot. Till I reilized one thing. This company sucks!!!
They give 25cents a minute. Which got spent very easily. You couldent download games! Well....considering the new camera phone. But I'm am now cheaking for a phone with more....Features. Virizon sounds good! So I'm saving for a camera phone. Saving now. But I calculated the minute situation between Virgin and Virizon. Paying 40$ a mounth for 400 minutes.
Now lets see what you get paying 40$ a mounth on a Virgin phone. First I added how many minute you get in one dollar. 4 minutes. Times 4 by 20. You get 80. Times 80 by 2. 160.
So I get 160 minutes in Virgin mobile paying 40$ a month. But Virizon gives me 400 minutes for 40$ a month!!!
So I made my desition and I am quiting Virgin mobile. Any of you with this company might wanna do the same. Unless you use your phone scarcly. And spend only 20$ a month.
So I made my point. Virgin Mobile SUCKS.

It's Prepay. You have the advantage of not having a contract, but yo uhave the disadvantage of paying more per minute.

I think it's more aimed at teens with no jobs.

Re: Virgin Mobile is a rip.
So now Virgin is going to offer a welfare phone (sounds like they are desperate to rip off poor people). I got their service because I though they were pretty cool with music etc but lately they are offering all kinds of family things, contracts and now welfare phones. What happened to their edge?

Re: Virgin Mobile is a rip.
You got to remember that you get what you pay for. The new 25 bucks a month gives me more than I had with T-Mobile when paying 90 a month.
I got the rumor touch, and Virgin Mobile locked it down real good. However, the users community has figured out ways around those lockdowns. I am much happier.
I actually feel like I'm sticking it to them

I weirdly ran into their business plan for India on the internet somewhere, and I read it. This is exactly what they are aiming at-Teens.
