[QUOTE="DPI, post: 1583403, member: 793"] My wife and I signed up and ported our US Cellular numbers over last week. We were grandfathered in on the old rates. My phone is $25 per month for 300 minutes of voice and unlimited data and unlimited texting. This is dramatically lower than US Cellular. My wife chose the $40 plan with 1200 voice minutes and unlimited data and text. We bought our Android phones (LG Optimus V) at Target. On the way home called Virgin Mobile and had both old numbers ported. It took a couple hours but went flawlessly. If you are getting new numbers, you can activate your phone online. There is no charge either way. Additionally, you do NOT have a contract. It is month to month and you will be grandfathered in for the rates in effect at the time. I am impressed with the data as it is 3G and seems fast for not having data before. And the phone has WIFI so I use that when I am home and it is seamless... I was concerned about only having 300 for myself, so I found an app. that uses the data network, google voice and google chat to make phone calls using the data network and not my voice minutes. So basically I get unlimited voice, data, and texing for $25 per month. The only drawback I see and I don't know if it will ever impact me, is at 2.5 Gig of monthly transfer Virgin Mobile throttles back the speed for data. Do you have any specific concerns? [/QUOTE]
