Who's excited about the Virgin Mobile/Helio merger?

Question

I am! What do you think Virgin will start offering in terms of plans and phones due to their purchase of the Helio company?

Answer 1

I am pretty sure they will be like Sprint and Nextel. Virgin Mobile will stay cheap and prepaid, I know that much. They just closed the deal officially the other day. Changes will be coming, we will know it when they come, the website will be different. I know Helio customers can still be postpaid, but I wonder if Helio could be prepaid as well. As far as using Helio phones with Virgin Mobile plans and vice versa, I am completely stumped. Helio has high-end services so this merge is major. I myself, am with Virgin Mobile. Virgin Mobile has unlimited talk and messaging, I hope unlimited browsing comes next because of Helio merge!! Coverage area will be much better as well, and say hello to evdo and 3g!!
