Virgin Mobile USA Goes iPhone Only, Offering Amazing Perks Too
Virgin Mobile USA will sell you any smartphone, as long as it’s an iPhone, beginning June 27. To convince you to switch, it’s also offering some unheard of deals too.
In a Wednesday announcement, the company explains:
There’s iPhone. And then there’s everything else. At Virgin Mobile, we’re teaming with Apple to offer you nothing but the world’s most popular phone. Because life in the Inner Circle is about living big, expanding your horizons and pursuing your passions. And it starts with an iPhone you’ll adore.
As part of its move to sell only iPhones, Virgin Mobile USA has introduced a new program called Inner Circle, which looks like an incredible deal. For just $1, you’ll receive unlimited talk, text, and data for one year plus taxes. Thereafter, you’ll pay $50 per month for service.
The fine print shows that your data usage could become “deprioritized” after you go over 23GB per month. Additionally, Virgin may cut off your service completely if your “off-network roaming use in a month exceeds: (1) 800 mins or a majority of mins.; or (2) 100MB or a majority of KB.”
Inner Circle also includes some interesting perks that absolutely nothing to do with cell phones:
- A round-trip companion ticket to the United Kingdom on Virgin Atlantic
- One night’s stay at Virgin Hotels (pay for 2 nights, get 3rd free)
- $170 savings on an introductory offer to Virgin Wines club
- Up to 20 percent off flights on Virgin America
- 20 percent off on the Virgin Sport San Francisco Festival of Fitness (Oct. 13-15)
If you’re looking for a new iPhone, Virgin Mobile USA is definitely worth considering.
You can preorder a new iPhone through Virgin Mobile USA through the company’s website. To join Inner Circle, you’ll also need to use AutoPay. Shipping begins on June 27.
