New Phones for Virgin Mobile

Virgin Mobile is about to receive 2 new cellular phones that are going to be a great addition to their line up. So what's so great about these new phones? They have bluetooth, cameras, GPS, and one is a motorolla... but that's not it. They are good quality phones that you would find in a contract based cellular companys line up. These aren't the phones your used to from Virgin Mobile, and with any hope VM's whole line up is going to be re-vamped to include mostly high quality phones and not the cheap throw aways they currently offer.

Virgin Mobile Switch_Back 2 - The Wild Card
The Wild Card, or the Switch_Back 2, is the new and improved Switch Back. The new Wild Card has bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel camera and video recorder, Media Player, GPS Locator (the gps function is doubtfully going to be utilized by VM), Full QWERTY keyboard that is easier to use than the previous, and many new styling improvements. The Wild Card is available NOW for $99 from wal-mart, and should be available on VM's site within a week or so...

Virgin Mobile W385 Saber_Tooth
The Motorolla W385 has been confirmed as a future Virgin Mobile phone. The W385 is a thin and light candy bar design. The W385 also has an onboard camera with 4x digital zoom, GPS functions, wireless web browsing, media messaging, and bluetooth. The W385 will be available within 3-6 weeks and is going to be a great phone, and mark the first time ever that Virgin Mobile USA has offered a Motorolla.

Don't be surprised if you start seeing phones like the Motorolla Razr or the MotoRizr in the Virgin Mobile line up in the near future!

Oh, and Virgin Mobile Canada is not left out. VM Canada will also be getting 2 new phones, the Samsung 510 and m300. The Samsung 510 will also have bluetooth, an MP3 player, 1.3 megapixel camera and video recorder, and an includer 64 mb SD card which can be expanded to up to a 2 gig SD card. The m300 is an a640 replacement and now includes bluetooth and a camera.

Free Virgin Mobile Minutes

Getting free Virgin Mobile minutes is easy. We frequently post virgin mobile promo codes, and you can easily search the site and find a promotion code that works for you.

This month you can use the promotion code 072007 for an additional $10 when you top up with $20. Sometimes the customer service rep will not add the promotional code for the free minutes to you account, so you may need to call back until a rep will give you the free minutes. If you can not get the customer service rep to add the minutes, you may need to talk to a supervisor as sometimes the reps are not up to date on the lattest promotions going on.

Virgin mobile releases these codes in order to encourage customers to top up more frequently, and to reclaim old customers who have not topped up in a while. By offering promo codes for free minutes, Virgin Mobile gets their customers to top up more often, or twice in one month. This is a win win situation for the customer and Virgin Mobile. And the emo kids love these codes too!

For more codes, check the previous postings on the left.

Sugarmama - Virgin Mobile USA

Ah... Sugarmama. Sugarmama is about 3 months old now, and it's time to take a look back.

Sugaramama allows Virgin Mobile USA customers to earn free airtime by participation in online advertisements and media. For example, you could watch a short commercial and earn a minute of airtime.

When I worked at VM, I would see people with 60 minutes or so that they earned on Sugarmamma (this was when it first launched). They would spend hours earning 60 minutes of airtime, and it seemed that to earn 60 minutes of air time, they had to blow at least a total of 4 hours. That's if you've got some skills. So, for 5 hours of work, you get 60 minutes on your phone? Earn minute costs at most 18 cents. That's $10.80 for 4 hours of work, or $2.90 an hour. That's below minimum wage.

Maybe there's a better way to get free minutes for your phone?

Virgin Mobile Insiders

The Virgin Mobile Insiders program is still going on for those of you who thought it was a thing of the past. You can still sign up on the virgin mobile insiders websites (virginmobileinsiders.com). The site's not getting a lot of submissions anymore, so now is a good time to try and join before they promote it more.

What is a virgin mobile insider? Virgin Mobile Insiders are young americans who opt in to be used for research and developement of new products. Virgin Mobile Insiders may be asked to evaluate and provide feedback on a new promotion or phone before it is released to the public. Occasionally insiders are sent free phones and other swag.

It's a great way to get free stuff from virgin mobile, and help make your service better!

New Phone: Virgin Mobile Aloha

My friend from Virgin Mobile just called and said that he saw some information on a new phone virgin mobile is planning to release.

The LG "Aloha" is a cheaper priced phone (Think Oystr or Marbl). It will mark the first LG phone offered by virgin mobile.

The phone features an internal antenna, access to Virgin XL/Extras, speakerphone, and polyphonic ringtones.

The phone is a simple clamshell design with no external screen. The design is anything but sleek, and it wont win any design awards, especially with the awkwardly plain face. LG's are good phones though, and are miles ahead of Kyocera's cheap phones, so hopefully this cheaper priced phone will not be plagued by the same issues that the Oystr and Marbl have.

Virgin Festival 2007: Book The Band

Ever go to a concert, and think that another band should have opened? Virgin Mobile is allowing customers to "Book The Band" by voting for who they want to see open the show. You can vote now at http://www.virginfestival.com/2007/booktheband.html.

Oh, and please vote for say anything :-P

There's still time to get free airtime bundles!

Virgin Mobile has extended their airtime bundles on the Kyocera Slider Sonic, Kyocera Oystr, and Nokia Shorty up until 07/17/07. At which time, the bundles will be adjusted and maybe some better phones offered. The "K10 Royal" is now offered at $10, with a $10 top up bonus included, making the phone free. The $10 price reduction is because the K10 Royal is now a refurbished phone, though refurbished phones are often as good as a new phone.

Free Virgin Mobile Ringtone

Ah... So you have a new phone, and your ringtones sound really lame. There is a way to get some extra free ringtones for your new virgin mobile.

What you can do is download a ringtone (it's going to cost $2.50, but you should have gotten a $5 activation bonus). After you have downloaded your ringtone and if it is not 100% what you wanted, call virgin mobile and tell them that you didn't like the ringtone and it is low quality. Virgin mobile will credit you $2.50 and you can then download another ringtone for free.

You are only allowed 1-2 ringtone requests a month before reps will no longer credit you, but if you really aren't satisfied 100% with your ringtone, you might as well get one you really like.

Virgin Mobile Promotion (Free Oystr)

For june, Virgin Mobile has finally redone their website and their now offering the Oystr for free. If you buy an Oystr online, you get the phone and a $20 top up card, making the phone free.

The Oystr is a cheap phone and plagued with problems, but you can't really beat free... The K10 Royal and the Shorty are both still free if the oystr isn't your thing. All three phones come with a free top up (free minutes) and you do not need a promo code to redeem the free minutes.

After receiving your free phone, you will receive the free minutes when you activate the phone.

Unlocked Cellular Phone

Unlocking a cell phone can save you a lot of cash. Unlocked cellular phones can be used with many services provides, as opposed to the provider it was originally intended for. For example, unlocking a virgin mobile cell phone could allow it to be used with Sprint. You can save a lot of money by unlocking your cell phone as opposed to buying a new phone when you change service providers. It's usually as easy as just entering a code.

For virgin mobile phones unlock code, stay tuned for a coming tutorial. Unlocking virgin mobile phones is a complicated process and is not recommended. There are also only a few phones that can be unlocked: US Starcom Slice, Nokia Shorty, k10 royal, slider sonic, and switch_back.

Prepaid Phone Card

What is a prepaid phone card? When you use a prepaid cell phone you probably don't want to use your credit card, so instead your purchase prepaid phone cards. These prepaid cards allow you to call your service provider and give them the pin number to your card. When you give the pin number for your prepaid card, the value of that prepaid card is added to your account.

In the past, and still in some areas, prepaid calling cards were popular. Prepaid calling cards are different than prepaid phone cards because you call a 1-800 number on the back of prepaid calling cards from a regular phone or payphone. These cards were and still are popular for calling internationally and for long distance calls. If you are calling internationally from a prepaid phone, it may be in your interest to use a prepaid calling card to call internationally.

Prepaid phones and prepaid phone cards are very popular in this day and age. Many younger people will often have 2 cell phones, one for friends and family, and one for hookups and dealing with people they do not want to have their regular number. When running an internet business, or selling items online without a 3rd party, it is often safer to use a prepaid phone and prepaid phone card than use your contract based, long term phone.

If you need an extra phone, or a main phone, prepaid cell phone plans are very affordable, though the prepaid plans can often cost more than their subscription or contract counterparts. When looking at prepaid plans, you need to have a rough idea of how many minutes your going to use a month. Having a good idea of how many minutes you need in a prepaid cell phone plan can save you a lot of money in overage charges (it can happen with prepaid plans!) and additional minute purchases.

Cheap Virgin Mobile Phone

Want a cheap virgin mobile phone? I'm going to describe to you the process of getting a cheap phone. For this to work for you, you need to have an existing account with VM USA.

So you have an account with VM, but you really want a new phone, for a lot less. How much is a lot less? If 50% off is what your looking for, this will get you the price cut.

Call VM and tell them that you lost your phone. They will offer to suspend your account until you find it or purchase another phone. After they begin to suspend it, they will offer you a replacement phone. Tell them you are interested in hearing about the phones and they should give you the replacement phone prices.

The replacement phones come with a phone and charger, no instruction manuals or manufacturers box or accessories (such as ear pieces). But, they are usually at least 50% off.

The phone prices are as follows (All include free next day delivery):

Switch_Back (Kyocera) : $49.99 (50% off)
Slider Sonic (Kyocera) : $45.99
Cyclops (Kyo..) : $49.99
Slice* (US Starcom) : $24.99

Free Virgin Mobile Cell Phone

Want a free virgin mobile cell phone? It's real easy. To get a cheap or free phone, check out virgin mobiles monthly promotions on their website.

They often have offers where if you buy a top up card, you can get a free or discounted phone. This month you can get a discounted Slice, a discounted Slider Sonic, and a Free Nokia Shorty and a Free K10 Royal.

Every month they change up the discounted phones that they are offering. It usually occurs around the 15th of the month, so stay tuned for an update tomorrow of next months discounted phones!

Free Virgin Mobile Minutes

Getting free virgin mobile minutes has never been easier. How do you get free minutes? Well, it's actually really easy.

To get free minutes in the USA, you can use sugarmamma. Sugarmamma allows you to earn minutes by watching ads or responding to targeted text surveys. You usually earn a minute for each ad you watch, or each promotion you participate in. You can sign up on the virgin mobile website.

Another way to get free minutes is to use a promo code. Virgin mobile dissperses promo codes like there is no tomorrow, so they are very easy to find (check my previous post).

You could also get a free minute bonus by buying and activating a new phone. Phones such as the slice and slider sonic come with pre-bundled airtime. For example, the Slice comes with $20 to use for minutes and cheap ringtones.

Even further, you can earn minutes for virgin mobile by referring people to sign up. Every time you refer someone to VM USA, you get a kickback. Your first kickback is $10, then every person afterwards that you refer can get you $20, but there is a limit to 15 referrals per year. That's still a whole lot of free minutes, especially if you activate an account with one of the free phones from the website. You could buy say a $20 top up card and get a free nokia shorty, activate that nokia shorty with the $20 card, your original account will get a $20 kick back, and than you can cancel the nokia shorty account and then sell the nokia shorty on ebay. That would net you $40 in minutes, and then you could sell the shorty on ebay for $15, so with an investment of $5, you would get $35 in totally free airtime.

Free Virgin Mobile Ringtones

Getting free ringtones for virgin mobile phones is very easy. You can get promotions and promo codes for ringtone downloads from virgin mobile, use a data cord to move ringtones to your phone, or you can subscribe to a web browsing plan (about $5) and download ringtones from a website, on your phone.

To download ringtones from your phones web browser, simply locate the URL of the ringtone you would like to download. For example, if you want to download a ringtone (we will use Fergie - Glamorous) you need to either upload the file to the web (putfile.com), or find the file already online. Regardless of how you find it, once you do locate your free ringtone, you need to write down the URL. Lets says the Fergie ringtone is located at Putfile.com and the URL is http://www.putfile.com/user23/fergieglam.mid.

You would type that url into your phones web browser, and then the ringtone would be downloaded to your phone automatically!

You can also use this method to get free wallpapers, screensavers, screen cleaners, and skins for your phone. Anything you can buy from VirginXL or VirginXtras, you can get for free using this method. Don't ever, ever pay $2.50 for a ringtone again.

If you have a song that you own and want to make into a ringtone, there are a lot of pieces of software called ringtone makers that you can use. You just select the 20 second clip you want to use as the ringtone, and then transfer the created file to your phone.

With phones like the Slider Sonic or Switch_back, you can use entire songs as your ringtone!

Virgin Mobile Promo Code

Virgin Mobile Promo Codes are easily aquired. You can get a virgin mobile code in MANY ways, one of these codes is posted below. The main way people receive the virgin mobile code is if they quit using their phone for awhile, or if they run in to the street team at a concert.

Coupon codes can be $10, $20, $30, $40, or even $50. The most popular coupon codes are usually for $10.

This month the coupon code 052007 will get you a $10 top up bonus. To get the $10 bonus, you must top up with at least $20 through a top up card or credit card.

If the rep says they do not see the promotion on your account, tell them that you did receive it and if they are not willing to honor the code you would like to be transfered to the cancellation department. The rep (if they didn't already add it) will either give you the bonus, or the cancellation rep will credit you with the $10.

I will be posting promo codes once a week, so if you found this post helpful, bookmark or subscribe to this site and you'll be notified when new codes are available. There is no limit to how many promo codes you can add to your account, they just need to be unique codes. The codes can also be entered online when you top up, over the phone with a rep, or directly from your handset.
