How do the Virgin Mobile pay as you go plans work? Are they any good?

I want an IPone on a pay as you go plan but my budget is like 200$ for an Iphone 4 or 4s. Virgin Moile has one for 160.00$ How do Virgin Mobile's prepaid plans work?

My significant other has the Virgin Mobile plan of unlimited web/data, txt, with the 300 minutes for $35, using a Samsung Galaxy Ring and everything works fine. She is satisfied with both sofar.
Not sure what the iPhone will offer, but the different plan should be pretty much the same. Say if you need more minutes, there's another plan avalible.
Unless your dead set on an iPhone, consider a Samsung Android device, preferably in the Galaxy Series, quite a bit less in price than the iPhone but the best in quality experience!
One other thing, make sure you check signal strength in you're area. The Virgin website has a link to check this.
Best of luck on your decision!
