Free Virgin Mobile Ringtone

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 19:04:57 GMT

Virgin mobile is currently sending out some promo codes that select customers will be able to use to claim some free ringtones. The ringtone codes are being sent to customers who have downloaded only a couple ringtones in an effort to get them to start downloading more. I'm not sure of the exact requirements, just that within the next week everyone who is going to get the code will have received it.

To use the free virgin mobile ringtone code, just go to VirginXtras/VirginXL and select "redeem a code"..

The code you receive is only good once, and you have to have been sent the code for it to work for you. Trying to use someone elses code will not get you the ringtones.

Carrollton Texas Call Center Closing

Wed, 06 Jun 2007 16:44:31 GMT

From what I hear, the Carrollton call center will be closing within the next 3 months. This call center is located in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex and is managed by ICT. Virgin Mobile over staffed the call center and immediately after making it their flagship center, they realized it was their worst.. All this will do is make virgin mobiles hold times and call times longer. If you were thinking about applying for a job there, it's a waste of time.

Not the only site on the block now offering virgin mobile codes

Mon, 14 May 2007 06:30:18 GMT

Looks like someone decided they would like to copy me (http://virginmobiles.blogspot.com ) and make their own virgin mobile site. I'm actually glad to see it, as there needs to be more good resources on the net for virgin mobile and prepaid phones. If only they knew how little money I make off of this site, than maybe they would reconsider copying me. This site buys me a latte once a month, I do it to help people, not to personally gain.

Just wanted to share the site in case they find some coupons and promotion codes for virgin mobile codes that I'm not aware of.

Virgin Mobile Prepaid Phone

Sat, 12 May 2007 18:41:16 GMT

Virgin Mobile prepaid phones are probably the best in the prepaid industry. Although they do not have walkie talkie (chirp, push to talk) like Boost Mobile phones do, they do have a great network and great service..

There are some things that you need to keep in mind when getting a prepaid cell phone plan. The prepaid plan is going to be more expensive than a plan where you have a contract. The phone will probably be more expensive (not in virgin mobiles case, through) than a cell phone you got when you renewed your contract or set up a contract. Though, with a prepaid plan, there usually are not overage charges and you are free to stop using it at any time. You can also take your number with you when you leave the prepaid provider, or even bring a number in from your old provider.

There really isn't a winner when it comes to Prepaid vs Contract Plans, each has their own advantages over the other. But when you have a choice between getting a prepaid phone vs a regular phone, and you plan to keep it for awhile, it is economically advantageous to go with the regular contract phone plan.

There are alternatives to Virgin Mobile, such as Alltel Wireless, Cingular, T-Mobile, Boost Mobile, and tracphone.

Two good sites for finding virgin mobile codes are http://mobilevirgin.instantspot.com and http://virginmobiles.blogspot.com

Free Virgin Mobile Ringtones

Sat, 12 May 2007 05:10:41 GMT

If your looking for virgin mobile ringtones, I'm sure you already know you can get free ringtones and wallpapers, but how exactly do you do it?

To get free ringtones and wallpapers (without using a promo code or a special promotion), you need to either have a data cord for your phone, or get on a web browsing plan. The web browsing plans are only about $5 a month or so.

Once you have a web browsing plan on your phone, download some ringtones (kazaa, bittorrent, torrents, etc) or make your own using software. Take the ringtones and upload them to putfile.com, and then take the URL that putfile gives you, and enter that URL into your phones web browser.

After entering the URL to the ring tone or wallpaper, your phone will automatically save the ringtone after you confirm that it is okay.

The url you get will most likely be something like http://www.putfile.com/songname.midi. You must type the exact location of the ringtone in order for it to download.

Do not use those free ringtone sites you see on google as they are a rip off. Your better off just uploading your own. The first thing they ask for is your phone number, and once they have it and you agree to their terms, your theirs, and they will not hesitate to charge you a LOT of money.

Making a pre paid Phone or Top Up Card Return

Mon, 07 May 2007 20:00:32 GMT

Virgin Mobiles return policy is simple. If, within the first 30 days you own the phone, you would like to return it, you can do so. If it is after 30 days, however, Virgin Mobiles return policy makes it impossible to return the phone except for an exchange for the same phone.

This only applies if you bought the pre paid phone from Virginmobileusa.com or from a live representative. If you purchased it in a store, the phone return would be up to the company in which your purchased it from. I would HIGHLY recommend purchasing your phone from Best Buy. When you buy from best buy, you have a 90 day return window, and you can even get an accidental damage warranty from Best Buy.

Pre Paid Top up cards are non-refundable according the Virgin Mobiles Policy, but there is a loop hole. If you call in and say that you do not have coverage in your area and purchased the top up card to go with a phone you were going to activate, they will give you a mailing address and a confirmation number. Simply mail the top up card and receipt to the address, and within 6 weeks you will get a check for the total amount of the top up card.

This loop hole can also apply to pre paid phones you purchased.

You can even get a refund for a prepaid phone card that has already been applied to an account, just say the coverage in your area is really bad and the phone is un-usable, and they will process a return for you. They will not, however, pro-rate minutes used from your prepaid phone card and then make a refund. If any minutes are used, you can not get a refund.

"Mobile Provider" blog

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 01:07:09 GMT

I used to work for a pre-paid cell phone provider in the USA. Working at this company I learned a couple things about their business model (which changed practically every month) and some of the darker areas about the company.

In this blog I will give you some advice about prepaid cell phone companys and cell phone companys in general. (I have friends working at every major U.S. cell phone provider).

In this blog you will learn some helpful tips that could save you a lot of money. Check back often for new tips and inside information.

Get a new phone for half price!

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 00:11:40 GMT

So you have a popular mobile cell phone provider that markets itself to drug dealers and virgins. Your phone is named after a shellfish from the ocean and it really sucks. Maybe you have a phone that you bought 8 years ago to use with this provider.

And you really wany to get a new phone for cheap....

Well, starting this month, this company will be including chargers in their "Replacement Phones". Replacement phones are offered to customers who call in to report their phone lost or stolen.

For example, the most expensive phone offered is $100 and is really the only phone worth purchasing. If you call in and say your phone is lost or stolen, you can get that phone for $45 shipped to your door overnight. Although you will just get a phone and charger and no booklets, it's a lot cheaper.

If you don't need a $100 phone, just a phone your clients can call you on to score a dime bag, then you could get one of the $20 or $10 phones for $10 or $5 respectively.

The catch is you need an existing phone and account, but you can open an account and then call back in 15 minutes later and report the phone as being stolen and get the reduced price. So for a $5 phone off ebay you can get the top of the line phone for $45.
