Virgin Mobile USA is set to introduce the LG Rumor 2 into it's linup this friday (8-28-09). The phone will be an exclusive of Radio Shack and will only be available in store for $130. I say that hell has frozen over because for the first time, Virgin Mobile USA has gotten a recognizable phone and not a Kyocera or UTStarcom. Not all UTStarcom phones are bad, but the Rumor 2 is a well known phone and is on Sprint, and US Cellular, as the Banter. Here's the link to the Rumor 2 on Radio Shack's site... http://www.radioshack.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2134654&allCount=25&fbc=1&f=PAD%2FPrepaid+Type%2FVirgin+Mobile&fbn=Prepaid+carrier%2FVirgin+Mobile

(lol) * I said this before many times on here and I'm gonna say it again: * Virgin Mobile has moved up and passed over Tracfone awhile back - and continue to do so with their phones. * Tracfone likes to brag about having the Country's Biggest Network and having so many Million of customers... * Well, maybe its about time they put out some really nice phones like other pre-paid companies instead of just bragging about being so big and bad. * It's sad when we can predict each year what type of phone models will come out for Tracfone .. * I'm really considering of switching over to Verizon Prepaid - then I can have any phone I want .. Turk + Verizon = Gold

You're not allowed to use smartphones (Blackberry, Q, Omnia) or phones with full HTML browsers (Voyager, Dare, Glyde). You CAN use any Verizon phone (providing it does not have a bad ESN) on Page Plus Cellular. This includes all of the above that are not allowed on Verizon Prepay.

I was a little mad that day, so I was just ranting when I wrote that. * Still, being able to use most Verizon Phones on their prepaid isn't bad at all... * If you feel like paying more money for them that is... * And when it comes to the Turk - money is no object! .... Wooooooooo! * So remember ladies: when the Turk walks that aisle ... he likes to Style, and Profile ... Woooooooooo! The Naturk Boy
