Mobile Virgin

In the next couple weeks you should notice that Virgin Mobile is renaming their Txt Bundles to Messaging Bundles. What does this mean for you?

When you purchase a Messaging Plan as opposed to the soon to be old Text Plan, you will not only get Text messages but Picture Messages, Email messages, and Mobile Aim Service (also coming soon).

So, no longer will you be stuck with just 1000 txt messages, you will have 1000 text, picture, email, or Aim messages, and you won't have to purchase a seperate email plan from Virgin. Also, when you send a text, picture, email, or mobile aim message, it will take only 1 message from your bundle.

In the next couple days you should begin receiving alerts on your mobile phone informing you of the change and giving you the opportunity to go ahead and switch to the new bundles.

Bundle prices will stay the same at:

$1.99 - Any 50 messages

$4.99 - Any 200 messages

$9.99 - Any 1000 messages

Side Note: If you activated your phone and are unable to check your balance on your phone, send text picture or email messages, or access VirginXtras or VirginXL, you need to contact Virgin Mobile At Your Service (1-888-322-1122) and let them know. When you activated or swapped your phone, your provisioning wasn't set up correctly. You can also reach Virgin Mobile Toll-free and without any sort of charge by dialing *VM or *86 on your handset.
