Virgin Mobile the MVNO owned by Sprint prepared some brand new offers for its customers. Those will be given to them through Walmart, a partner of Virgin Mobile. When we are talking about offers we generally speak about those which involve data and so it is the case in present. Virgin Mobile gives, to be more precise, some data share plans for users.
See the prices
What does this mean? Well, if two users want to share 4 GB of data on their Virgin Mobile devices, they have to pay together 65 dollars a month. If the necessary high speed Internet access increases at 8 GB and one more member appear in the equation, than the whole group has to pay 90 dollars! For less money, you might get more data. Last, but not least, also the possibility of sharing 12 GB among four members is possible and for this service you must pay 115 dollars.
Available only in special conditions
Of course, when all these limits are done, the traffic goes to a slow 2G, but it is expected to happen so. All in all, the company’s strategy is aiming to aggressively attract new customers or at least keep the ones which they still have. And we all know that more data means much interest in our days. The problem is that this new offer requires special software which only four types of smartphone have. These are: 80 dollars LG Tribute, 100 dollars HTC Desire 510, 130 dollars Samsung Galaxy Core Prime and 150 dollars LG Volt.
Music streaming and social media aren't counted
If you want extra high speed Internet note that you can get 1 GB with 10 dollars and it also important to consider that Sprint, exactly like T-Mobile doesn’t count in the amount of data used streaming music and social media activities. Of course, they don’t consume a lot of data, but still matters.
