| Prepaid Mobile Review – Virgin Mobile | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 2009 Based on the traffic our prepaid plans site receives and the options that Virgin Mobile makes available through their prepaid mobile plans, they would surely have to be one of the market leaders within the prepaid mobile market. So what is so good about Virgin? One of their most popular plans and the cheapest plan on the market (from the key providers) at the moment is Bean Counter. It offers 10c calls per minute plus 10c Txt. No one else comes close except for Amichi Mobile (a little operator on the Vodafone network). But it’s not just Bean Counter which makes Virgin Mobile so popular, they also offer a variety of plans catering for those that like to talk a lot, those that require a longer expiry, those who text alot and those that like a bit of data included with their new “Your Caps”.Virgin’s “Your Caps” where only released a few months ago. The calls rates are free when calling Virgin to Virgin and 45c p/m when you call non Virgin mobiles. What they also come with is quite a bit of call credit eg $35 Cap has $180 worth of credit plus 20MB of data. Probably enough data to send and receive a few emails.Voice mail for all of the Virgin prepaid mobile plans is free in Australia. Virgin also has a great range of prepaid mobile phones for you to purchase. You can view and compare all of the prepaid mobile phone plans offered by Virgin here. |
