havent checked page plus lately. but their great on mins/txt,but their data cost used to be the kicker. my 3G issues with vm seem to be returning to normal. my area has seen massive upgrades across the board. it was so bad it would cause the elite to reboot randomly because all it did was search for data signal,gain it,lose it...endless loop. hopefully the sprint network growing pains are for the most part over here.

 

[curtis1973]

Right now I would have to say dial up is the winner as I have had no data at all 3G icon is there but now only will work 25% of the time in the last week.

there's always NETZERO!! LOL i sympathize my friend. and theoretically you could sign up for netzero service 4G at $9.95 a month,wifi to device,make all your calls,data,etc and come out way cheaper than vm lol

Personally I don't exactly understand what you guys expect. We're going with vm to get cheaper phones and cheaper rates. The phones that we get are honestly a lot better then what we could have truly expected. Plus with all of Sprints unlimited data and people to ignorant to use wifi we get the worst end of the stick. What do people truly do to need more then 300 meg of data on their phone per day for?

i rarely use more than 300 megs of data on my device daily. and even then the speed has been terrible. now granted,this only began to occur the day i upgraded to the optimus elite two and three quarter months ago. and at a time of upgrades by sprint in my area. so even though angry and unsure if it was my new device being a complete piece of trash,the network being maxed out at full capacity,or both because virgin mobile usa has the worst customer service reps in the world. with their inability to be clear about what exactly was the issue with my service and new device,it prolonged knowing what the problem was and what should be done. i could have faired better by finding technical support on my own. these people while working an honorable job,(which should be based in the continental united states by the way..not bangledesh or brazil....blah..total non support for your home country and its workers. but off the politics..) just arent trained well and dont know what the //edit::HeCK//edit:: they are doing. you end up telling them whats wrong and after ten more calls..they agree with you. so maybe...if there is a holy blessing and the stars align,they may fold customer support back into sprint or at the very least relocate those call centers to the homeland and hire some trained reps. i would pay an extra $5 a month for real customer service. $40,$50,$60 plans with reliable customer support is worth the extra cash versus $35,$45,$55 plans with overseas robots bumping heads,with no answers,who hang up on you..then vm can finally retire poor old automated alex. hes had long run. we shall honor him!! :-$

Everyone is going to have a different answer to this, so here's mine.

I expect fair rates for the amount of minutes I'm allowed, text messages, and data. I don't believe that the big, post-paid carriers are charging fairly, although the recent unveiling of shared data plans on AT&T and Verizon are mildly enticing, especially for a plan that would consist of multiple lines.

I would not be NEAR as upset with Virgin right now about this "announcement" of another device, if it were for three reasons:

a) They seem to have a consistent record of giving Virgin "new" devices, that are basic rehashes of phones already available to them...similar if not almost exactly the same specs.

b) A couple months ago, we heard all about the "new" Virgin, and a promise to focus in on the brand, pump it up, bring it to another level. When's that happening? Was that what the iPhone was supposed to do? ...which brings me to...

c) More than anything, I am VERY upset at Virgin as a company, for not being willing to pioneer high-end Android devices on pre-paid, because there is seemingly no reason not to, especially if they are willing to sell a damn iPhone at $600. If they are willing to do that, they should be willing to sell me an S3 at the same price, a GNex at $400, a Note at $500, etc...

As far as my data usage is concerned, some days I use none, some days I use 500mb+. I need unlimited data because my usage habits are so variable, I need to have the option to eat it up at times.

I think Im just going to T-mobile and with them rolling out 1900 mhz we could just use some good At&t phones without dealing with edge only.

 

[thenameisnigel]

Say it isn't so. We don't need an S2. Fingers crossed it's the GNex. Although, to be honest, with Virgin being willing to offer high-end/cost devices (iPhone), and the S3 is basically trying to make the rounds everywhere, there is a shred of chance. Guess we'll find out later on.

The S2 is coming to Boost as they've already started testing. VM, eh?

Yeah, they announced the S2 during that event. Virgin got nothing of note, in my opinion. Very disappointing.

I have given up on Virgin Mobile and Sprint. I have used them off and on for the last 3 or 4 years now and its only getting worst the long I keep them. Coverage has gotten lower same for the data too.

You sure about that? They just announced the S2...for Boost.

I don't know if it was some kind of mistake but I know I heard it....

Such crappy discounts lol. I would preffer 40% but nope, the Evo barely drops in price, let alone almost all of them are still full price.
