Mariko and I switched cell phone service from AT&T Wireless to Virgin Mobile. The reason was money. We don’t use our cell phones that often (our average is about 50 minutes per month) so having a pre-paid phone is going to be much cheaper for us. AT&T Wireless was costing us $64 per month, while Virgin Mobile will cost us about $20 per month. I like the whole premise of Virgin Mobile. There are no contracts, no hidden fees, and no sales tax. You know exactly what you are paying for. You can even check your balance from the phone, or on the web. Plus, the phones we got are so cool. I downloaded four ringtones already. Three of them were free (promotion). So, if you need my new cell phone #, send me an email! My old service expires on the 13th.
