I've been looking at this and have gone back and forth on it. I like their phone service, always have a signal, qualities good, service is ok for the money.

How is the speed most of the time? Can you watch youtube vids and such?

................yes , you can watch you tube.............but , they tell you they reserve the right too restrict your service under certain conditions . I have been very satisified with their basic service , so far ! Virgin MOBIL was purchased by Sprint I believe less than 24 months previous . , fordy

Back around 2000 ATT was the best out there by far,then they were sold and became the worst.When we went VM,and havent had a problem since.

Especially for low volume users VM is a good outfit,I dont know about the plans or such,Im in the 18 cent/minute thing and it really meets our needs,we can be thrifty or spendy,choice is ours,I like that.

Been using VM for 6-8 months and really like it. So much so that I'm strongly considering getting rid of land line and going to their cell phones.
