Okay, so, my cell phone provider (Virgin Mobile) is getting rid of my existing plan, which I do understand. They are trying to convince me that their new plan will save me money, which I'm not buying.
My cell phone research and knowledge is really very limited. If I switch providers, can I keep my old phone? Or will most of them make it much more convenient to just get a new phone with a contract?
I currently don't have a contract, but I'm willing to at least consider it. I use my phone much more for texting and internet than voice.
what phone do you have now?
I have an, um, LG Rumor? Razr? It's a few years old.
le n, that's a useful site. thanks!
Yeah, it basically confirms that there's not really anything that meets my needs. I'd stay with Virgin Mobile if they didn't force me to add money every 3 months, and if their plan didn't give me free minutes, but not texts and data. I don't mind paying for texts and data, but it's stupid to have my plan focused on the one thing I use least.
I'm with Virgin Mobile too, Dana. I hadn't heard about them dropping certain plans.
I hadn't changed mine since I signed up over two years ago, and it wasn't offered on the website any more, so I wasn't surprised that it's being phased out.

I'm confused. I thought all VM plans were unlimited text and data.
