Virgin offering perks with special Wild Card

Virgin Mobile subscriber and also plan on attending the VIrgin Mobile Festival, here’s a chance to get a good deal on the popular Kyocera Wild Card phone. Virgin has created 15,000 special edition models in conjunction with the Virgin Mobile Festival, which will take place August 9 through 10 in Baltimore. Anyone with this edition phone will be admitted to the VIP area. All you’ve gotta do is show ’em your handset, and you’re in! Plus, you’ll get some more goodies with the new Wild Card, too. The phone is available exclusively through Best Buy, and will run $99.99. If you’re a big music buyer, though, you could take a chunk out of that price. The handset comes with 50 song downloads from eMusic. So now you can catch up with those bands playing at the Virgin Mobile Festival. You also get a free one-year subscription to SPIN Magazine (Axl Rose is laughing at you). The only downside to this deal is the restrictiveness. You have to have a ticket to the Virgin Mobile Festival, ergo need to be in the Baltimore area — or be willing to travel that far. But for those interested, this sounds like a pretty sweet and relatively cheap deal.]]>
