So I posted before I got my newest Volt a few months ago when I was still using my Tribute before the screen broke & I purchased my 2nd. Volt, but before that happened I was rooted on my Tribute running Unjustified Dev's CM 12 lollipop ROM, well before I switched my # to my new Volt I had service through Virgin Mobile data done right(Walmart) & didn't pay for 2 month's & never got cut off until I bought my new Volt! Well to make a long story short, my month should have been up on the 5th of October, it still works! Free, but the funny thing is if I flash back to the rooted zv6 that I have as my backup, only mobile data works, when I try to text or call it says my plan needs to be restarted! So I'm dumbfounded as to how this is happening again! When I told Virgin a few months ago when I switched my # from my tribute to my volt the v.m. operator didn't even believe me that my phone worked for 2 months cuz on his end my phone was off! I easily used 20 gigs in those 2 months! I'm on the now $30 monthly unlimited text, 300 minutes, 3 gigs of data, before was $35 with only 2 gigs of data! It has to be something with the code? Cuz it couldn't have been a one time fluke, it wouldn't have happened again!
 
i would trace it back to moving from an original virgin mobile plan and device to a data done right plan and device....if you ever were an original customer vs being new as a data done right customer. in other words i think they have something screwed up during moving you from one account type to another.
That is originally what I did, had a volt from last summer when it 1st came out, than a galaxy ring, than I got my tribute from Walmart in may & switched to data done right, which was a total pain in the a$$! Than it all started! But strange it happened again, different handset, just odd! But I'm not complaining just wish I could use the stock ROM sometimes but ohh well I love the custom ROMs!!! Thanx 2 all the hardworking Developer's!!!

I had the same thing happened to me on my lg optimus v it stayed active to the day the screen died it definitely has to do with the way Virgin Mobile handles the accounts
Nothing wrong with that the way I see it! I've bought more than my fair share of Virgin Mobile phones starting with the HTC Evo V 4G! The Optimus F3, Galaxy Ring, Volt, Tribute, & my newest Volt! Can't wait to see what I get next!
