How does virgin mobile work?

Okay, so I want to know how virgin mobile works. Lets say I wanted their iPhone, I would purchase the phone from target, and then what, what plan do I choose, what do I do? I'm looking for the BEST answer FAST.

You would look at the plans they have on their website. Once you have the plan you want, you would need to go to Best Buy or Target to purchase your Virgin Mobile Top Up Amount cards to pay for your first month. So if you choose the $35 dollar plan, then you would buy the top up cards totaling up $35. If you get a $40 amount card then you would have a extra $5.00 to use on the following month for your bill.

You can call Virgin Mobile Customer Care to activate your cell phone with your Top Up cards or use their online to setup up your phone. Each month you would have to purchase the Virgin Mobile Top amount cards to pay your bill.

  • Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile? I'm moving to Houston this summer and I'm looking for a cheaper cell phone plan. I talk, text, email, fb etc. I had virgin mobile back in 2004 and I love it and had no problem. I have a android galaxy s3 right now which I love but the battery isn't so great. I'm thinking about possibly buying an iPhone. What I'm really looking for is reviews on virgin and boost mobile. If you have any other cheap cell phone plan carrier suggestions I'm up for that too.

  • IPhone 5s plans for StraightTalk, T-Mobile, and Virgin Mobile? I'm going to get an unlocked iPhone 5s. However, my parents will not pay for the at&t, sprint and verizon plans. They said that they would do the straight talk, virgin mobile, or T-mobile plans because it is cheaper. I was wondering when the plans would come out for the 5s, and about how much they would be (compare it with the iPhone 4 when it came out). I really want to get this phone fast and start using it.
