answer:Well, if you want to upgrade to a smartphone you should go elsewhere. Virgin Mobile does have that plan, but to my knowledge they don’t actually have any smartphones to choose from. EDIT: I stand corrected, they have a Blackberry. It’s 299$, though, which is a lot of money to pay for a phone thats almost 2 years old. So yeah, their data plans are great but I think you will end up with a subpar phone and some spotty coverage. At least that’s how mine was about a year ago.
