The Virgin Mobile USA service will be discontinued, and we are happy to announce that most of the existing Virgin Mobile customers will be transferred to our sister brand, Boost Mobile beginning in February.
When your contract ends with us, you'll still be able to use your service as normal on a month to month basis until advised otherwise. You'll continue to be charged your monthly rate plan fees, minus any handset repayments you may have been paying. Below are other options you may wish to explore.
Virgin Mobile USA Is Doomed, Transferring Customers to Boost. Virgin Mobile's 18-year run in the US is over. The prepaid arm of Sprint just told its customers that it will be moving their accounts over to Boost Mobile, presumably in preparation for spinning Boost off after Sprint's merger with T-Mobile.

Virgin Mobile 5G Coverage
At present, Virgin Mobile doesn't offer any 5G coverage. However, this is due to change in the next two years as Virgin Mobile migrates to using coverage from Vodafone (with access to Vodafone's 5G network included).The telecom is shutting down Virgin Mobile service and will transfer all customers to Boost Mobile starting the week of February 2nd. You'll keep your phone and number in "most instances," and will move to a "comparable or better" plan at no additional charge.

About this Plan
The Virgin Mobile Unlimited + More Data is a no contract wireless plan that provides customers with unlimited talk, text messages, and data, and varying amounts of high speed 3G/4G data: $30 per month gets you 500MB of high-speed 3G/4G data. $40 per month gets you 4GB of high-speed 3G/4G data.News of the Virgin Mobile price increase comes just a few weeks after Toronto-based national carrier Rogers and its Fido Mobile flanker brand confirmed that both carriers would increase the cost of their $60/10GB plans by $5.
Metro still offers the best unlimited phone plan for prepaid customers. The carrier's $50 and $60 unlimited options match Boost Mobile on price, though you get a better network with Metro plus other perks like Google One storage.
Available packs include 1GB of data for $5, and 2GB of data for $10. Virgin Mobile's old prepaid plans started at $35 per month for 1GB of fast data, with the $45 option including 3GB, and 8GB available for $55 per month.
