thanks. so it bills you by month but you can buy gift cards and pay with those instead of paying directly? why are there different amounts then? do they calculate the cost by day or something?

i think i'm going to go with VM or that $19/mo one

Future Boy · 11-05-2012, 06:20 PM

yeah you can pay with the cards or set up autopay with a CC. Not sure why there are so many different amounts, but some are topup-broadband cards, not sure if the broadband cards work for just cell services. never tried it.

also you have no say in picking the phone #, even if you pay to have someone help you, from what i was told.

edit: not sure what your thinking on phones is but the next highest one is HTC One V, just got it this past week. bigger screen, faster processor, $200. Stay away from the HTC EVO 4G, they have problems and its hit or miss on getting it working.

on black friday best buy has the optimus elite for $50 new. and radio shack has the HTC One V for $100. think i'm going to get one of em

reprise85 · 11-22-2012, 12:44 PM

ok amazon.com has the htc one v for 99.99 right now. i think im going to take the plunge. i feel so weird spending money

reprise85 · 12:57 PM

futureboy do you have a code where if i put it in when i activate you get 60 free minutes? i see some people mentioning it in their reviews

phone has now been purchased

Future Boy · 11-22-2012, 02:31 PM

I dont have virgin mobile, I hear its a horrible service and a shit phone. Hope you enjoy it.

Future Boy · 11-22-2012, 02:32 PM

Kidding, I kid.

that sucks though i just bought that damn thing from amazon little over a month ago.

Im sure I have a code but lord knows where its at, its cool though, minutes arent usually a problem.

Future Boy · 11-22-2012, 02:33 PM

I wonder if they'll price adjust it

reprise85 · 11-22-2012, 02:54 PM

can't hurt to ask

thanks again for your help

Dead Frequency · 11-22-2012, 05:30 PM

What's wrong with the evo 4g? I had that phone for about a year, the only problem was with a forced update that was later resolved

Future Boy · 11-22-2012, 06:39 PM

on virgin? from what i read, and my sis who had the phone, some have signal issues- texts not going through, showing full signal but not being able to do anything. not all of them, but for the price and my needs I didnt think it was worth the potential hassle.

bardy · 11-22-2012, 08:38 PM

Amazon does price adjustments if you ask. They did one for me when the kindle I just bought went on sale.

reprise85 · 01-24-2013, 12:34 AM

so im very happy with my phone and service FUTUREBOY FOR PRESIDENT

reprise85 · 01-24-2013, 12:36 AM

i wanted to upgrade to the 1200 minute plan and restart my month early because i was low on minutes and i couldn't find a way to do both, so i emailed them. they said they changed it and restarted my month, and i saw that they did but i didn't get charged.

so i emailed them to tell them they didnt charge me and they told me they gave me a $45 credit for the hassle of having to email them. which took me like 2 minutes and didnt feel like a hassle. not complaining. everything is perfect with them so far and the money will go to Boris "Netphoria" Paige

Too bad Virgin mobile coverage sucks compared to any GSM carrier. Straight Talk is a much better deal.

reprise85 · 01-24-2013, 10:55 PM

it's great in my area, and i rarely travel. so it works for me.

Future Boy · 01-25-2013, 02:35 AM

you ever get around to hacking it.

also they wouldnt price adjust so I need to find a way to burn Amazon to the ground.

reprise85 · 01-25-2013, 08:48 AM

nah, don't really want to mess with it at this point

sorry they wouldn't price adjust

Future Boy · 06-27-2013, 09:23 PM

VM service for me has gone to hell, Im probably switching to ATT this month or next.

reprise85 · 06-28-2013, 07:17 AM

oh that sucks

it's still been good for me. can you bring your phone over?

Future Boy · 06-28-2013, 10:33 PM

nope. still trying to choose what to do. It was cool up until a few months ago then it fell apart.

reprise85 · 06-28-2013, 11:40 PM

that sucks do you know what happened, like did they lose domain over some areas or something?

Future Boy · 06-29-2013, 12:15 AM

no clue, it seemed to coincide with a big storm in January and just never came back. I got a message that they were updating towers or something but that was just last month, so eh. Like I wont get the call, but Ill get the notice that I have a new voicemail, wtf.

reprise85 · 06-29-2013, 12:53 AM

that's bullshit. i'd be so mad. my service is flawless... thanks again for recommending. sorry they are screwing you :/

Future Boy · 06-29-2013, 01:24 AM

I stuck it out because new phone, and I was happy with the service but now its just no, fuck you. Im leaning toward t-mobile at the moment, we'll see.

Any tmobile people, tell me if it sucks.
