Is Virgin Mobile Getting Ready for A Price Increase On Their Beyond Talk Plans?
Well, it looks like they might be if this “internal PDF” is to be believed. Thanks to our Phantips, we came across what seems to be a chart from Virgin Mobile indicating soon to be rate increases on all of their Beyond Talk plans. Their cheapest and most popular plan might be seeing the biggest jump with a 40% rate increase, moving the $25 plan up to $35. All other plans seem to be getting a (more reasonable?) $5 increase with their $60 unlimited plan actually dropping $5 to $55.
According to some members of our AndroidForums, who have contacted Virgin Mobile regarding these rate increases, Virgin reps are quick to dismiss these increases as merely rumors. Needless to say, this chart looks pretty convincing and current Virgin Mobile customers are in an uproar with some already looking towards new wireless options.
Still no word on exactly when these rumored price changes will occur. Even then, it’s hard to argue that Virgin Mobile is still one of the cheapest options for those looking to save some dough without a contract. Not to mention the upcoming Motorola Triumph may help to make this carrier even more attractive for new customers.
What do you guys think? If you were thinking about joining Virgin Mobile for the Motorola Triumph will these new rates send you elsewhere?
