sprint’s got work to!
I heard Virgin Mobile is offering a $10 120minute welfare deal..?
Whats up with that?
Hopefully sprint will bring back virgin’s cool factor… That’s why I signed up with them in the first place.
I don’t want people thinking I’m cheap when I take my virgin phone out my pocket!
What does everyone else think about this?

Lester’s post must be the dumbest thing on the Internet.
He signed with Virgin for its “cool factor” which will be diminished because the company is offering a $10 deal to poor people.
What a clown! He chose a phone provider to make up for his tragic lack of self-esteem? How sad.
I’ve searched for Virgin’s alleged deal and have seen other sites referencing it, but it’s nowhere on their site.
If they are, indeed, doing it, they ought to step up and say so.
Losers like Lester will just have to enhance their “coolness” by driving a different car or wearing “hip” clothes.
