WARREN, N.J. (BUSINESS WIRE), May 19, 2011 –
Virgin
Mobile USA continues to enhance its affordable, No Contract
offerings for mobile broadband with the addition of a $20 plan to its
Broadband2Go portfolio. Now available online and at participating
retailers, the new plan, an addition to the current $10 and $50 plans,
provides 500MB of data with a one-month expiration, offering another
option for flexible Internet access, especially for the occasional user
or traveler.
“From business travelers to virtual workers to students, consumers use
Broadband2Go in different ways,” said Sean Yelle, product manager,
Virgin Mobile USA. “We found there are a substantial number of customers
who want a monthly plan, but don’t need unlimited data. The addition of
our new $20/500MB plan, paired with no annual contracts, provides
customers an affordable option for broadband access, allowing them to
pay only for the service they need, when they need it.”
Virgin Mobile’s No Contract Broadband2Go plans feature 3G speeds and
start at just $10 for 10 days/100MB of access. For heavy users the $50
plan offers unlimited data access with 3G speeds up to 2.5GB each month.
Additionally, Walmart customers will still be offered the $20 plan for
1GB of monthly access.
