Users of the pre-paid services from Virgin Mobile are in for a nice little treat. Starting May 16th you will see a shift in data plans for both single line accounts and multi-line accounts. On the single line plans users will find that their usual offering is going down by $5 a month. Not a bad deal, but it gets a little backwards. Not only will you save $5 a month, but they are also going to give you 500mb’s of more data too. We are used to seeing price drops with features dropping too.
“In addition to adding even more data to our value-packed plans, we’ve made it easier to add a third or fourth line,†said Angela Rittgers, vice president marketing-Virgin Mobile USA. “For just an additional $25 a month, customers can add a line to their Multi-line plan and get unlimited talk, text and an additional 4GB to share, helping ensure there is enough data to go around for everyone.â€
Looking over the multi-line plans nothing will be changing on the price front. However, each plan is gaining 2GB’s of additional data for the same monthly charge. I don’t see that as being a bad thing for shared accounts.
