Virgin Mobile Offers Switchers 12 Months of Unlimited Wireless for $1

Virgin Mobile is offering 12 months of unlimited talk, text and high-speed data for $1 to iPhone owners who transfer their phone number to the “Inner Circle” plan.

“At Virgin Mobile, we don’t like playing by the rules, even our own,” said Dow Draper, CEO of Virgin Mobile USA. “Consumers know that the Inner Circle is the real deal, but many love their current phones or don’t want to upgrade yet. So, now for a short period of time, you can bring your own iPhone to Virgin Mobile and enjoy everything the Inner Circle offers — including the savings — $1 for 12 months of service. It’s also a great way to try out the Virgin Mobile network with your own iPhone.”

Compared to the two-year service or device contract arrangements forced on consumers by other mobile carriers, members of the Inner Circle would pay only $601 for two years of unlimited talk, text and high-speed data compared to $1,440, $1,680 or even $1,800 with other carriers. For some consumers, that’s a savings of nearly $1,200 over two years when you take advantage of the Inner Circle by Virgin Mobile.


The Inner Circle will now support most of the iPhone 5s and higher models. To confirm an iPhone’s eligibility and order a Virgin Mobile Inner Circle SIM2 Card Kit, you can visit VirginMobileUSA.com.

Once an iPhone is verified as compatible, the SIM card will be shipped with instructions to install and activate it. For a limited time, SIM cards can be ordered for free, however, after Friday, Sept. 29, a Virgin Mobile Inner Circle SIM Card Kit will cost $25. After the initial offer of service for 12 months for $1, you'll pay $50 per month for unlimited talk, text and high-speed data. Additionally, each time you upgrade to a new iPhone, you'll receive an additional six months of service for only $1.

If you don't already have an iPhone to switch with, you can purchase a new iPhone to get 12 months of unlimited wireless service for $1.
