Question:

I'm thinking of getting a virgin mobile phone.?

Anyone has or has had a virgin mobile phone--- what are the pros and cons. I know they're good 'cause there is no contract but money wise would you spend more on one of these then on a cell phone with a contract?

Answer:

I owned one: PROS: Cheap, strong phones, CONS: TERIBLE COVERAGE AND CALL IS NEVER CLEAR, my suggestion, get a cingular prepaid!
I have one, but go to this website first! cellguru /virgin.htm the phone are nice, and the customer service is nice.also the set up and onlineis the easiest I know! I have mine set up for automatic top-off! never had a problem go to the coverage map first.and see if you get good coverage in your area cellguru /coverage_maps.ht
If I can find one, I don't care if she has a mobile phone or not
With any pre-paid phone you could easily end up paying double what you would pay with a contracted phone. If you would talk on it a lot, like more than 30-45 mins a day then it would be more expensive. With virgin mobile it is more expensive than other pre-paid services. I would suggest you go with Cingular Go Phone's if you know a lot of people on the Cingular network because you get unlimited mobile to mobile. And a)that saves you money and b) it saves your minuets. The major con to the Cingular Go Phones is that they dont have the latest and greatest phones. Virgin mobile has some pretty neat ones. They are both easy to set up, and if you go into any RadioShack they will more than likely offer to set them up for you. (If they dont just ask and they will) Well hope I have helped, if you have any more questions feel free to email me.
