12 more months on my contract. one phones dead and they won’t reactivate it. have to call tech support can’t transfer. no no no tech support. still being billed for both phones. How do I get out of their plane without paying 150 bills per phone.

Virgin Mobile is owned by Sprint, and runs off the Sprint network. Just like Boost is also owned by Sprint.

How is it possible? They don’t have to maintain the network.. all they have to do is sign up customers and provide customer service. Any problems with the network they use fall on the owner of the network.

Virgin Mobile seems to be doing decent… what’s the difference between the two?

Helio is on a whole ‘nother level than the rest of these MVNO’s and by far has much better devices, ideas, and concepts. I don’t see them going away nearly as easily as the rest…

I cant really find a use for MVNO’s personally. I guess if you dont have credit or money they would be good, but hey if you dont have money and credit neither does the MVNO or they dont want want to spend what money if any they have left. Hey how about a Boy Genius Mobile MVNO. Id sign up for that LOL

It seems like these MVNOs are going under in order. First it was ESPN Mobile, Amp’d is starting, I would guess Helio is next. I am suprised Helio has lasted as long as it has. The bigger “parent” companies have a much better deal going on, IMO. At least all I have have to worry about with the company that I use is their indecision to keep a name.

Damn this is a bad sign… surprise Helio has managed to push its way to a decent yet insignificant spot. Well hope it ends well.
