For all iPhone lovers, Virgin Mobile USA has made
an exciting announcement that it’s collaborating with Apple to become an
iPhone-only service provider. Soon the company will be activating its services
in Apple’s stores. To mark off the beginning of this, Virgin will be offering
one year of unlimited talk, text and data services at $1. The offer is
effective till 31st July 2017.
However, the offer has some limitations. It is
valid for those who buy an iPhone and port their number to Virgin’s InnerCircle plan. And, the provider will also deprioritize the customers whose data
usage exceeds 23GB of during the billing cycle. Simply put, the company will
regulate the bandwidth when the network is constrained.
In addition to unlimited data, talk, and text, the
plan also includes 800 voice minutes and 100MB data on domestic roaming.
Exceeding this boundary, Virgin may terminate its free offerings without any
notice. The offer is surely going to notably attract new sign-ups.
The service provider believes that new as well as
existing customers are expected to stick around with its services when it will
transition from this attractive offering to its regular plan pricing. The
company may kick in its $50 per month plan later which will need AutoPay.
Virgin is now selling iPhone SE, 6, 6s, 6s Plus, 7
and 7 Plus at retail prices on its website. The iPhone 6 32 GB, SE 32 GB and
128 GB models are offered at a lesser price than offered directly by Apple. The
partnership with Apple has officially made Virgin Mobile the first iPhone only
service provider in the US. So, now you can avail Virgin services at Apple
stores as well.
Richard Branson, the founder of Virgin Group, said
that “Virgin has always looked to shake things up and challenge the status quo
in any sector we go into. Mobile is no exception and with Virgin Mobile USA,
we’ve now worked with Apple to create a compelling offer for our new Inner
Circle plan. Simply put, when you buy an iPhone you will get the highest
quality device and service plus access to an array of Virgin experiences and
offers with our group of companies.”
The company aims to better compete with its rival
providers such as T-Mobile’s MetroPCS and AT&T’s Cricket Wireless. It will
also challenge the budding brands like Google’s Project Fi.
