Cost comparison (I know we get a discount, but this is still a good comparison) http://www.virginmobileusa.com/cell-phone-plans/beyond-talk-plans.jsp -----Original Message----- From: Byers, Sharon Sent: Monday, December 19, 2011 9:47 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: [MSUNAG] Need your help in choosing a new phone I've had a Blackberry Curve for about 4 years. It has been totally reliable on ATT (except up North where there's spotty coverage). I changed the battery once. I used to have to pull the battery occasionally when it froze, but after I cancelled my data plan to save $30/mo I haven't had to do that. I've been using an old iPhone as an iPod for data when in wifi area. Now I'm considering a new smart phone but I hate contracts. I considered an iPhone 4S to be cancelled after the 2 years, but the cost blew me away - they no longer give the option of no data plan, but I really would like data on my phone. So I'm looking at an "all-inclusive" prepaid phone - Boost, Metro or Virgin, with Virgin looking the best. I love a physical keyboard, and their Optimus Slider is available now for $159. $45/mo with 1200 minutes and unlimited web, data, messaging and email, or $55/mo unlimited minutes. I had a pre-smart phone with Virgin and was happy with the phone and their customer service. If I've overlooked something please let me know. Sharon Thank you and goodnight. Firm.
