Interesting you mention that.
While I briefly thought about that as well I figure I will pass, for reasons you mention and I will go into later.
I am considering switching to Virgin Mobile for the new Motorola Triumph phone that should be coming out 7/19. I like Boost because their everything plan is cheaper and they do reward loyalty by lowering your rates upon receiving several months of on-time payments, and as far as I know, there aren't any data caps or throttling for their unlimited plans whereas Virgin Mobile does have Data Caps and also throttles even for the unlimited plan, right?
Yes, I do not have direct experience with VM I have heard there is a 5g cap and if you exceed that they throttle. I believe in a normal month I would never go over that, though it may get close. It would depend on my wifi usage as that would not count. Your results may vary with all the music apps you could get closer to it more often.
I use SlingPlayer, Google Music, Google Voice, Pandora, and GPS on my phone all the time and was wondering if I switched to Virgin Mobile's everything plan if they would throttle me and prevent me from using those data intensive programs if I exceed my usage before the end of the month? I never tether either so not sure how much data is considered excessive or too much data for Virgin.
Also wondering about joining Virgin Mobile mid month; do they charge you the whole the month if you only use two weeks of service or do they make the date you join the first day of service and figure out 30 days later for the end of your month?
Thanks in advance!!!
