Many advantages and disadvantages to being cheap

Posted on: July 23rd, 2012 by Anonymous

There are advantages and disadvantages to this service. 1. if you use this as your primary phone-don't waste your time or money. Your calls drop, fail, and quality is poor no matter what phone you have 2. if you have a home phone or another work cell to actually TALK on, this phone is worth $35 a month for text, and unlimited data/email. I have it because I do not want to use my work cell as a personal cell phone. This is the kind of phone you WANT your teens to have for the unlimited texting and data and email ALONE. To recap-as a primary cell talk source, this is the worse service you could ever have. For email data and text, it's the BEST service you can ever have. Also-it's A+ for the teenagers in the house. One more problem you have to watch out for. AFter you sign up and choose your first months plan make SURE you do not have an automatic payment source attached to the account yet. I originally signed up for the $45 1200 cell minute plan, then realized the cell quality was SO bad that I dropped it down to $35 300 minute plan just a few days after I renewed the first month

worst customer service i've ever dealt with

Posted on: July 11th, 2012 by Jack Younkins

pay a little extra and go with sprint. if anything goes wrong with virgin mobile and you need to deal with customer service you will know what I'm talking about. Also, they double charged me when I ordered a new phone. You have to activate the new phone at the exact time your month ends. Will never use virgin mobile again.

Promo Codes don't even work!!!!

Posted on: June 29th, 2012 by Zoe Sanchez

We got a promo code through text saying the next time we added money to put in the promo code to receive an extra $10 and it never happened. We emailed costumer service and it took them about a week to tell us that the promo code didn't even exist. That they didn't know how we even got it. A week later we receive a letter in the mail with the same promo code! We called customer service, and again that it doesn't exist. THen they said they would give us a call back, and guess what it's been over 2 weeks. Where's the phone call?

WORST SERVICE IN THE WORLD

Posted on: May 1st, 2012 by Anonymous

Terrible, terrible, terrible. I normally would not take the time to write an online review but holy shit, I want piss all over virgin. This is the worst customer service EVER. Let me tell you my story: I bought the biggest piece of shit phone (Motorola Triumph) at Christmas Time. Within the month the charging port went out. I sent it back they gave me a new one (the very next day it was at my door! It did have someone elses name on it...hm?) I was happily surprised. Within the week, the touth screen goes out. They say they are going to send me another one. I wait a week, nothing. I call and call and call wait another week, nothing. I finally get a tracking number and turns out they have sent it to a leroy Brown?! Not even the same address! WTF So i have to call and tell them and explain this to the people who cant help at all. So they order a new one. I shit you not, i called everyday for the following two weeks just to hear its on the way blah blah i put it as rush blah blah Find out eventually that the order was cancelled. This cancelling of the order happens a second effing time. Whatever, i finally get the stupid phone. I demand a refund on the service that i had already paid for to begin with and they give it to me but will not compensate for all the headache they have caused (me not having a phone for 2 months and me wanting to punch every indian i talk to) the phone STILL sucks ( I dont know how they still sell these things (thats my next review...!)) Oh one last thing, MY SERVICE IS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED because they say i have not sent the phone back. I did send the phone back three weeks ago. I know that this will not be fixed for probably two weeks. And im sure they wont compensate for lost service time. F YOU VIRGIN MOBILE.

Terrible

Posted on: April 3rd, 2012 by Anonymous

Customer service is absolutely horrible. Ordered phone, waited about 2 months, called several times, they kept telling me they were sending the phone out. No phone after another month. Finally I told them to just cancel it and they said OK. Another month goes by and the phone shows up and they just went ahead and charged my credit card without authorization. Since I now (finally) had the phone, I foolishly decided to keep it. Then I experienced the awful network performance etc. I haven't been able to get on Facebook or Twitter in a few months now on this phone, for some unknown reason. It will still go to other websites, but not those 2. I don't want to call their horrible customer service again because I know it will be a huge waste of time and I will get nothing accomplished just like the several other times I have called them. Do not get Virgin Mobile. This has been one of the worst customer service experiences of my life. A cheap plan is only good when the phone works as it's supposed to, and if you can actually get a problem solved when you need to, which you can't with these guys. AVOID AVOID AVOID Virgin Horrible

Great price, not worth the headache.

Posted on: March 27th, 2012 by Anonymous

The service is okay and the price can't be beat. ($25/month for 300 minutes and unlimited data and messaging) The Sprint network was nice with decent coverage, though it was a little frustrating to get the 'leftovers' of the network space. I had problems with my payment 10 different months in the 18 months I used them. (I didn't change plans because the price was too good) They would either double charge my account, then take days to fix it, or wouldn't accept payment, or accept payment and not reset the account. I just got sick of having to call or email customer service every month, so I finally switched providers.

Aweful Service and Quality

Posted on: February 17th, 2012 by Sherrie Taylor-Jones

I'm on my 3rd Samsung intercept and they want to send me a fourth. I use this phone for both personal and business. Because of the calls not coming in, voice-mails not received, lost/missing texts, inability to make or receive calls, days talking to Virgin-mobile; I have lost sales and business, not to mention the cost of my time dealing with this awful company. The reps are ill-mannered, incompetent, unable to listen, have no authority, are drones and ineffective. I have been disconnected 3 times when requesting a manager. I refuse to take a 4th phone of the same type. I've paid phone insurance since 2010 about $120, then had to pay a $65 deductible for 1st replacement (by the way the Intercept was $200 when I bought it; it now cost $99..you do the math). I requested another phone where I could use the $65 towards an upgrade...since their phone WON'T work. The upgrade cost $200...so if the $65 was used I would still be giving them $135 more. However, that was not an option. Of course, I will take my business elsewhere. Found Straight-talk $45 unlimited everything plan LG Optimus Q $180. DON'T get sucked into the propaganda that Virgin-mobile is the only one.

DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS... VIRGIN MOBILE IS THE BEST PREPAID!!

Posted on: February 15th, 2012 by Anonymous

I've been with VM for 3 years since i was 13. started with the rumor touch and upgraded to the motorola triumph. i love both. The only complaint i have is their coverage. very spoty coverage. but i can deal with that. ok moving on... (PLEASE READ) okay yesterday I turned on my triumph and the screen was black with lines on it. it was broke. I WAS DEVASTATED AND FURIOUS. I SPENT 300 DOLLARS ON A PHONE AND I WAS OUT. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I DIDN'T HAVE INSURANCE ON MY PHONE THAT VM OFFERS. (WHICH REALLY ISN'T THAT GOOD. DOESN'T COVER MANY THINGS) .... i called vm to see if there was ANYTHING THEY COULD DO . i told them what i thought happened. I had my phone in my back pocket all day @ school and when i took it out on the bus it was broke. they said it broke from pressure. (my butt on the phone). the representative i spoke with said SHE WAS SENDING A BRAND NEW TRIUMPH TO ME @ NO COST. EVEN OVERNIGHT SHIPPING!!! I WAS SO HAPPY. IT WASN'T VM'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE MY PHONE. I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE INSURANCE. ALL SHE SAID IS EVERY MONTH FROM NOW ON I HAVE TO PAY $5 A MONTH FOR INSURANCE. IM SO HAPPY. I LOVE VIRGIN MOBILE!!! BEST PREPAID EVER!!!

Used to be good, now.... absolute worst.

Posted on: February 9th, 2012 by Kristen Lee

I was a loyal VM customer for years, but left when my ex put me on his plan. I recently came back and spent $300 on the Motorola Triumph and a monthly plan. I've been back with VM for 4 months and I ordered my new T-Mobile prepaid phone yesterday. With VM, I get NO signal. My phone disconnects and needs to be reactivated every couple days. I lost my internet for a while and called VM, after navigating my way through the HEAVILY automated phone system (putting in my phone number 3 or 4 times) I finally was talking to a person and what was the first thing they asked? What my phone number is. I told them my problem and they said it sounded like a phone problem, so they were going to switch the phone out. I was frustrated. I had already gotten 3 warranty replacements for this phone as it was. The first one wouldn't charge, they sent me a second one, which would only charge when the phone was off, then they sent me one where the touch screen would lock up and then it wouldn't be responsive to touch on the entire screen, only on portions of it, which made it impossible to unlock, so this would be my 4th exchange. So they send me the new phone, I plug it in and NOTHING. I turn the phone off and plug it in, and what do you know it charges. I call them and tell them that ONCE AGAIN, the phone they have sent me is defective. They tell me they will make notes in my account and apologize and say they are sending me a new phone, they verify my address and tell me I should get it the next day. Next day comes and goes. Two days, three days, four days later I call and can't get through to anyone, so I email them. Due to high email volume, they will get back to me in 24 hours. 36 hours later I get an email telling me it was never sent and they need me to give them the address I want it sent to. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? So I email them back and tell them its the address on the account, the same one I gave the representative on the phone and to look it up. I also tell them that I'm incredibly frustrated and upset. I get an email within a few hours, telling me how they are sorry that I am unsatisfied. YES. I am UNSATISFIED. I'm LIVID. That may go a bit beyond. I hope that once I get this new phone I can sell it and make at least SOME of the money I flushed down the toilet back. I will NEVER use VM again, and I will warn against them EVERY chance I get. STAY AWAY!!!
