Virgin Mobile

Virgin Mobile was a prominent prepaid wireless carrier that offered flexible and affordable mobile plans primarily targeting younger consumers. Launched in the early 2000s as a joint venture between Virgin Group and Sprint, Virgin Mobile gained popularity for its no-contract offerings and innovative marketing strategies. The brand also stood out for its customer-centric approach, offering plans without hidden fees and emphasizing simplicity in mobile service. However, in 2020, the brand was officially discontinued in the U.S. as Sprint merged with T-Mobile, leading to the integration of Virgin Mobile customers into Boost Mobile, another Sprint MVNO. This is Prepaid Reviews’ historic archive coverage of the carrier.
