Virgin Mobile USA to Give 1 Year of Unlimited for $1 to iPhone Switchers

MacRumors reports that Virgin Mobile USA has announced that iPhone owners who switch to the carrier from their existing carrier, bringing their current number with them, will get 1 year of unlimited talk, text, and data for $1 with AutoPay. The promotion is available for a strictly limited time only, finishing on August 31, 2017.

There are, as you might expect, a few caveats for this “Inner Circle” deal: video quality will be restricted to up to 480p, music streams to up to 500 kbps, and games streams up to 2 Mbps, and “practically everything else” will have 4G LTE speeds, according to Virgin Mobile USA.

Customers purchasing a brand new, full-price iPhone from Virgin Mobile will also be eligible for the deal. Virgin is currently selling the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6s Plus for the same price as Apple, and you can also get the iPhone SE from Virgin for $279.99, which is $120 off the list price of $399.

I don't know anyone that uses Virgin Mobile? It seems like a good deal though!

I'm not sure about coverage though... If you are in a good area hard to beat this deal..

I wonder if we can get it unlocked after the year ?
