VirginXL will take your lunch money and then some!

Warnings

With T-Mobile, Boost Mobile, Sprint, and about every other cell phone provider in the world, you are able to browse their ringtones and downloads without being charged. On the other hand, Virgin Mobile will charge you 10 cents per day that you access their ringtones and downloads (VirginXL).

The worst part about the 10 cent charge is you are occasionally (or always) opted in to a VirginXL subscription. This will result in you being charged 10 cents a day until you realize the charge is there. So pretend you looked for a ringtone 3 months ago, you've been charged 10 cents every day since that day. That's roughly $9.00 that you didn't notice leave your account and will continue to leave your account until you do something about it. 

If you notice that you are opted in to VirginXL, you can do 2 things.

---You could go to the virgin mobile website and opt out of VirginXL

or

---You can call a live advisor (1-888-322-1122 or *VM from your phone) and ask them to opt you out.

or

---If you don't mind the scam, and don't mind getting scammed, keep letting that 10 cents come out of your account every morning. 

So how about a refund? Sorry. Virgin Mobile does not offer refunds for any prepaid plan or service.

Do you need to have Virgin XL subscribed to be able to send SMS messages through AIM & YM? Apparently you need to use it to download both messaging apps, but after you do so, do you still need to go into XL to use these, or can you opt out/switch it off and use the AIM & YM apps without being charged .15 a day (the new rate)

10 cents per day for two years = $73. That is the amount I think Virgin Mobile stole from me with their cockamamie XL scam. I'm not sure, because in order to access my activity beyond the last three months, I was told I have to pay ADDITIONAL MONEY! Let me know when you all are ready to file a class action suit. "It's in the contract" just doesn't cut it for me. Some thing is not right about this 10 or 15 cent daily deduction for a one time service. It makes absolutely no sense!
