I agree with the comment below me about Virgin Mobile charging you full price for extra minutes when you haven't even used up your original monthly minutes. I signed up for the $14.99/mo plan and even before my 100 minutes were over, they charged me an additional $14.99 for an extra 20 minutes! I wasn't even at the end of my 100 minutes either, I had used like 92. How on Earth can you be charged the full price that you pay every month for only 20 extra minutes that you NEVER agreed to in the first place. Not only was I extremely upset about this, but it happened the day before I was due to pay my monthly charge.So I called up Virgin Mobile and demanded an explanation as to why I was charged full price for a meager amount of minutes when I STILL had minutes left in my account. The response was pathetic. It was something along the lines of, "We do this so that if you're in the middle of a call, you won't lose it. You get extra minutes so that you can carry out the call and not get cut off." Well, if I knew I was at the end of my minutes (which I would since I watch those minutes like a hawk), then I would either cut the call short myself, or just not make any calls until my next month starts! I certainly wouldn't want to be charged an extra $14.99 for 20 minutes that I don't need in the first place. I hardly use my phone for crying out loud! I then asked if I would have to pay my monthly $14.99 charge if they just took that same amount out of my account for the 20 extra minutes they fored upon me. Yes! I did! So not only did I get cheated out of the remainder of my 100 minutes, but I was going to have to pay my original monthly charge for that next month's 100 minutes, along with the $14.99 they took out of my account for the extra 20 minutes. Ridiculous. A total waste of money. I switched my plan that day over to the .18/min deal.For anybody thinking about the $.../month plans, please beware. It's a complete rip off and I'd hate to think of this happening to other people, especially ones who have limited funds (like me). The .18/min deal is so much better if you don't use your phone much. Top up every 90 days and you're good to go.
