I’d buy that for a dollar: Virgin Mobile goes after market leaders with audacious offer

Hate getting that big cell phone bill each month? We certainly do, so how about if your cell phone bill was, say, a dollar? And that dollar was for a whole year? Too good to be true, right? Well, of course it is, sort of, but that’s exactly what Virgin Mobile is offering customers in order to lure them away from the big carriers. So what’s the catch – or catches? Of course, there are a few: first off, it’s for Apple iPhones only.

Video playback is 480P over the network, so no HD, and once you eat through 23gb of data in a month, expect to get throttled. Also, there’s no family plan, and you have to sign up for auto-pay, because, of course, there are taxes and fees to pay as well. And after your “dollar” year, Virgin is gonna hit you up for $50 a month. However, Virgin does have some interesting perks – it’s a big company, of course – so hit the link for all the fine print and details on Virgin Mobile’s dollar plan.
