Og>> Sorry, I hadn't heard of the mobile devices without SIM cards.

Og>> I have no experience with "throw away cellphones". Maybe those are what
Og>> you speak of?

Ni> No.  I had a couple of Samsung Galaxy phones with Virgin Mobile, and they

Yep, when I was with virgin, they were under SPRINT, and they used CDMA technology, which worked better than any of the GSM carriers around here, so until LTE rolled out I stuck with Virgin, now I use Hello Mobile, which uses T-Mobile towers around here, and service is great, 25 dollars a month gives me all the data I have ever needed. But I alway though Virgin mobile was pretty crafty with what they offered. they always tried to offer "Edgy" phones that were not only budget friendly for younger people, but also pretty cool for what they were.
