Virgin Mobile
8. Virgin Mobile
Virgin Mobile has three plans, like stair-steps for graduated calling patterns. You save more per minute as you go up the ladder, but you're spending more time on the phone, of course.

| First 10 minutes of the day | 25 cents/minute | |

Conclusions: Wrapping It All Up Before Pre-Paying It
The biggest secret to protecting your phone financial future is to assess and predict your needs in the long term, and take the time to see how well the "network coverage" of a plan will accommodate you as you communicate with your family, friends, and business associates. Remember, the phone you buy with that plan probably won't travel to another vendor.
