TODAY ONLY FEB 13, 2013 GET $100 OFF THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S® II 4G VIRGIN MOBILE $229.99 - $22.50 FW CB = $207.49

If you read the reviews, the HTC EVO V has some issues with interference between the 4G and SMS. It is not clear that the issue has been resolved yet. The GSII is a great phone with lots of memory and good support from Samsung (Wish I could say that about all Samsung's phones, which is sadly not the case). If I were in the market, this phone at this price would be at the top of my list. The major down point is that there is no Wi-Max 4G coverage in my area (Metro Detroit), and there is no assurance that there ever will be... So, for me and my wife, we will be sticking with the offerings from MetroPCS, like the $50 LG Motion 4G, and the $200 LG Spirit 4G, which for about the same price, has most of the same features, and 4G coverage in my area...

In celebration of "Break-up Day", this sale may have me breaking up with my horrible Motorola Triumph!!

I thought that was the optimus g pro and was debunked as the next Google phone.. ?

According to Korean newspaper DDaily, which cites “industry insiders”, Samsung is getting ready to unveil the Galaxy S4 and it will begin producing its components. Even though there have been a lot of rumors which claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be launched at the beginning of April, the Korean publication claims that the company will release the handset in mid-March.http://www.android.gs/samsung-galaxy-s4-release-date-9/

How do you get $27/month? $35/month is Virgin Mobile's lowest plan on website.

DONE! So excited. THANKS FAT WALLET!!

I broke up with my Optimus Slider and the SGII is sooooo much better than the grandfather-eligible phones that I don't regret having to pay more per month.

I'm seeing stuff about the Motorola X, 5" screen and all that jazz. Rumored to be announced at Google I/O 2013 with the new version of Android (5.0) Although, it won't do much good if you want to stick with Virgin Mobile as others have pointed out.

I just checked and there is a $5 plan reduction but only if you are a new customer and if you buy an Iphone.

THIS IS JUST A WARNING, DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE IF YOU EXPECT TO KEEP YOUR 4G! Boost Mobile, Credo Mobile, EcoMobile, i-wireless, kajeet, KDDI Mobile, PrepaYd Wireless, Q Link Wireless, Ring Plus Inc, Ting, Toto Communications, Virgin Mobile USA and Zing PCS all run on the Sprint Network. Sprint is literally replacing the old 4g towers with the new ones, this means those fancy new 4g Wi-Max phones on these pre-paid companies will become obsolete and you will be back on old school 3g when it happens, which Sprint projects most major areas done within the year. They are not doing like AT&T and T-Mobile and just adding the LTE towers on top of their old tech.

I tought they were about to buy 100% of Clearwire?
Why cut service instead of just keeping it for MVNO

anyone know if WalMart will match virgin's sale price?
I'm looking at getting 2 HTC EVO V's..

Clearwire is also rolling out LTE the same way. Sprint's rollout schedule has been moved up and it now says most major areas will be LTE by the end of the year. That being said Sprint considers a city "launched" when they have a 20% coverage of the city. Houston was "launched" in June and they are only at about 50% coverage. I am only trying to inform people of the coming issues. WiMax never even had the coverage that Sprint claimed on their website anyways so you may not get 4g. I just hate when people buy something thinking they will get a feature and they don't because of false advertising. Sprint is releasing these "old" phones on these carriers to make money off a dying technology while ripping customers off. the answer to cutting of the services is because they don't have room on the towers to support so many technologies and they wanted to cut costs by integrating all these techs into one tower. WiMax was never a great technology anyways, it was basically a more powerful version of WiFi and didn't penetrate very well.

Do I need to be a Virgin Mobile customer to get this FatWallet CashBack discount?

No

What Sprint's Vision roll-out does is integrates all of their technologies, except WiMax, into one transceiver, so this means if an area has LTE then it has finished its Vision roll-out.
