I don't know Im planing to go to Virgin Mobile I use to have MetroPCS but everything went down Hill when My Boyfriend lost his job and I was stuck with all the bills so we had to cut things down. Well now we are back on our Feet.
I know Virgin Mobile is Offering
$25/Month for Unlimited Web, Text, Email, Data, and 300 Mins
$40 more for 1200 mins
$60 for unlimited everything
Now thats good.
MetroPCS is unlimited everything for $40 and they cover 90% of the united states they are also a 4G Network and building fast. However IM not a big talker I Text a lot.. a lot alot. so I wouldnt Gain much from that more like lose money.
MetroPCs has more choice of Phones but Virgin Mobile has a Android phone but right now I dont want nothing Big.. Just a simple keyboard Phone.
I want the Koycera X-tc (does anyone know if thats a Good PHone?)
My decision is leading on Virgin Mobile. ..

We have Virgin Mobile but we pay $20 for 3 months 90 days use before we have to top up it is a pre-paid phone. They are okay but we do not get service where we live. we use it when we are in town which is 22 miles away. Been using them for 8 years now. We have unlimited minutes for that price for 90 days and we get reminders on our phone or computer to top up a few days before we need to. Their coverage is pretty good except in some of the outlying rural areas like where we live. But traveling like we did this summer we had coverage most the time over 1000 miles round trip.

OH, In my Area they are cover all over and I dont have to really worry about coverage. But I was told that Virgin Mobile is sharing there network with, Sprint and they have a 4G network but I dont think they share that with them just there 3G network which is 600kbs - 1.7mbps I think.
But $20 in 90 days / 3 months is really good but I know I will have no minutes after that plus I use the internet and Text a lot so I rather and think Im better off with the $25 plan. which to me is Best for my and my Boyfriend we usually only call each other and thats pretty much it haha

Well, I Dont Know much about the operator in your country, but in mine Virgin is considered to be one of the worst operators available, here in India Airtel and Vodafone are the best.i just wanted to mention about the presence of Virgin and its base over here and moreover again Kyocera is also considered one of the worst and people go only for LG when it comes to CDMA networks and they beleive in Nokia Or Sony Ericsson When It comes To GSM Networks..
Happy Mylotting..

My hubby has a blackberry thru them and we pay under $40 a month with unlimited data though I think he only gets a few hundred minutes unlike the package you have. We were tired of paying $80 a month for the same everything thru Verizon.
Now I myself have the basic phone with nothing fancy on it but the color. I also don't have the monthly plan I do the $20 every 90 days (or sooner if you run out of minutes) or I can convert that to a 200 minute package for the month if I want and do it monthly.
I've had VM for atleast 6 yrs and have been happy with the pricing and service. Hubby has tried all sorts of companies only to realize they are overpriced and your service charges being so high is IMO offsetting that "free phone" instead of buying it outright and saving you money.
