screw virgin mobile. I "had" it until I found out what a joke it is. Every three months you need to top your account. If you don't your phone goes inactive. If you forget after the three months, you have another two months until they disconnect your account, and then you lose the money you had in the account. Get the regular Trac Fone and get the 1 year prepaid card. Probably about $125 total for everything. Then you don't have to worry for a whole year unless you use all your minutes. The 1 year card gives your 150 minutes I beleive.
