Should I switch my iPhone to Virgin Mobile?

I recently found out that the iPhone is now on Virgin Mobile. I have AT&T and I'm pleased with it at the time being. The coverage is great in my area and I have no reason to switch, until now. I had the iPhone ever since it came out back in 2007, and one of the things I really liked about it was the unlimited data plan. Now, I don't have that freedom, since changing to the 200 MB plan which I thought would save me money but ended up regretting in the long run.

Virgin Mobile has an unlimited data and messaging plan, which I like. I'm hesitant to switch to a low cost carrier like Virgin. Are they reliable? Do they stack up to the competition? Is AT&T to Virgin a good switch?

Also, the $649 price tag is a little too much to pay for a phone that will be replaced with a newer model in a few months. And, if I save so much money with a Virgin Plan, but add $649 to it, wouldn't I essentially be paying the same as a contract with AT&T?

Try Sprint

  • 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.
