Wowsers.

I’m currently on $20/mo for $25 Rollover Plus – $50 calls/300mb data.

Who thinks the extra $4 a month is worth an extra $220 in calls, unlimited texts* and an extra 1.7gb in data?

I rarely use more than $50 in calls because most of my calls are to my wife whose also on Virgin. I’m currently finding it pretty hard to chew through only 300mb of data, so is $4 really worth it? It’s very tempting…

If you can figure out how to tether your phone to your laptop then it is well worth it!
