Triumph pricing confirmed

[insertusername]

According to VM's monthly catalogue, it looks like the pricing has been confirmed for $299. So it looks like it is safe to preorder from Bestbuy because it is unlikely the price will go down ... you might as well get your phone early.

Virgin Mobile's July Catalogue

In case you missed it, they are also increasing the prices of some plans (as seen on the catalogue) and on this thread:

If this is true, I will have to swallow it, but I won't hesitate to use wifi hotspot if it increases.

Welcome to our site
Hyperlink is a major wholsale distributor for Boost and Virgin Mobile. If you look on the left hand column, it appears to be there. I'm not sure if updates will always be there, but that's where it was this month.

I have a feeling that you will be able to keep your original rate if you do not change plans. For example, if you are positive that you won't ever need more than 300 minutes and you never upgrade your plan, then you'll be able to keep the rate of $25/mo.

...but the $40 plan only goes to $45 and the full unlimited actually goes DOWN $5/month...

I still think that they'd've been better off to keep the $25 plan and added a $35 plan with 5-600m as $35 for 300m just doesn't wash...

I don't use much data as 3G speed here are sh!tty, so I use WiFi whenever available which is practically always unless in the car...

Ohh and I almost forgot to mention the MOST important item: Yay! We get to subsidize those RIM dimwits...

If you are on a Beyond Talk plan before July 20, 2011, you are on the original price structure so you

I know eventually I've been wanting to upgrade to the $40 plan, maybe I should do so before it goes up :s

The time would be now to lock the rate in!

YOu know what is also interesting from that newsletter (which is awesome inside scoop by the way) is the list of which phones qualify for the Beyond Talk plans (aka, what you can use to lock in the $25 a month).
