Here is the story..
I have been using a cheapo Samsung t139 on T-Mobile's pay as you go plan. My work provides a LG smart phone, but due to cut back it is going to be 'trimmed' by the end of April. This would finally push me to upgrade my personal phone. Now since this will be a personal phone, wife has the say because it is related to money. Funny thing is that when I tried to upgrade my phone through the T-Mobile site, I do not have the 'upgrade your device' option like others do.. (maybe my phone is too cheap???)
T-Mobile has $50 a month plan which is nice for user such as me, who doesn't use much of the data side, except for calls and txtings. But wife wants as low as possible.. and the cheapest I can find is Virgin Mobile for $35 a month.
I have heard Virgin is on Sprint network, which I used to have years ago and totally not impressed. Has that changed and somehow their network is better now? The coverage map of Virgin for the Austin area looks to be solid.
I just want to keep the same phone number but wife wants the monthly to be as low as possible. Been looking at Boost and Metro.. but Virgin is the least - cost wise.
Any comments on Virgin Mobile?
