THIS IS ONLY A GOOD DEAL FOR THE LOWER PRICE PLANS…. IF YOU PLAN ON USING IT MORE THAN THE 250 MB LIMIT, IT WOULD BE A BETTER IDEA TO GO TO VERIZON AND GET THEIR AIRCARD. FOR $60 A MONTH YOU CAN GET 5GB… VERSUS THE 1GB THAT VIRGIN MOBILE IS OFFERING. :)

I don’t get it? Why would someone pay 60 a month for 1GB using Virgin mobiles network, when you can pay the same thing for 5GB using Verizons network. Not to mention you can get the equipment for a third of the price at verizon. Verizon does do 1yr contracts ya know…

this service is directed at the vorounable and weak financialy segment of the society ?its not enough that they are suffering the loss of a job or a limb or health and cant work or poor along with what that brings of bad cridit suffering ,yet they prusser those people to pay a lot more just to feel human and punish them more for being weaker financialy ,and I include verizon and the other companies too as their prime directive and target is money and lots of it ?1other wise why they can’t come up with a prepaid plan just like every body else BOOST OR METRO PCS and no one will loose and they will make tons of money ?WHY
for one simple reason CREATING 2-3 LEVEL OF HUMAN TO SERVR AND STAY LOW AND INFERIOR AS A NEW KIND OF SLAVERY BUT NOT BASED ON COLOR OR RACE ?!BASED ON MONEY POWER and all companies help create this kind of leveling and I dont exclude any one of them ,T-mobil once tried to help
and still with the smart access but they took it off right away ?no one knows the reason ?$?!
