14 DAY TRIAL // US-based carrier Virgin Mobile has just confirmed it will sell Apple’s iPhone 4 and 4S smartphones with its monthly plans.
Starting June 29, customers will be able to purchase the 8GB iPhone 4 for $549 USD (435 EUR) and the 16GB iPhone 4S for $649 USD (515 EUR) outright.
Although the no-term price tags for both smartphones are a bit higher than usual, customers will be able to pair it with Virgin Mobile’s low $30 USD monthly fee.
Keep in mind that both iPhone models will be available with no fees for activation or roaming for both new and existing customers.
The smartphones can be purchased through Virgin Mobile online store, RadioShack, Best Buy, as well as other select retailers across the country.
Virgin Mobile’s Beyond Talk unlimited plan will offer prepaid customers 300 anytime minutes and unlimited messaging, along with “unlimited” data subject to a 2.5GB fair-use policy every month. All this will be available for only $30 USD per month or $35 USD for customers who are not willing to sign up for automatic billing.
Furthermore, for $40 USD monthly or $45 USD for those who don’t agree to automatic billing, customers will receive 1200 anytime minutes and unlimited messaging, as well as “unlimited” mobile data subject to a 2.5GB fair-use policy every month.
Last but not least, customers can choose the $50 USD monthly plan or $55 USD without automatic billing, in order to receive unlimited anytime minutes and unlimited messaging, as well as “unlimited” mobile data subject to a 2.5GB fair-use policy every month.
It is also worth mentioning that customers who wish to enjoy using their iPhone smartphones as mobile hotspots are required to pay a $15 monthly fee and they will also get 1GB of mobile data on top of the 2.5GB offered by all three prepaid plans.
“This month marks Virgin Mobile USA’s tenth birthday. And what better way to thank our fans for ten years of loyalty than by giving them exactly what they want: the perfect plan for the perfect phone. That is the essence of A Higher Calling,” said Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group.
