Having to pay your own cell phone bill is a double-edged sword. Finally I can get whichever phone I want on any network I choose. Oh darn, all the good phones are on the Big 4 carriers with plans starting at an organ donation per month. So what did I do? I chose option three. Virgin Mobile. For only $25 dollars a month, yes that says $25 a month, I get unlimited text and data along with 300 minutes. Did I mention that it's only 25 dollars per month?
"Surely a prepaid carrier can only have the bottom bin of crap phones" was something I used to think all the time. I was wrong. Finally catching up into the 21st century, VM is offering two Android phones on their network. I selected the LG Optimus V to be my new phone for two reasons: Price and usability. Firstly, the Optimus V was cheaper than the alternate Samsung phone offered on VM by at least 50 dollars. Second, the LG Optimus received much better reviews for usablility than the Samsung phone.
