Switcing from Virgin Mobile To Helio. Good Idea?

Question

Okay so Virgin Mobile buys out Helio and with the combined forces they should make some pretty good phones. For instence the Ocean 2 looks really nice. So what im saying is should i switch to helio now or wait till virgin mobile starts upgrading there phones choices.

Answer 1

dam im debating this question myself. so far i really like my virgin mobile service but then when the announcement of the ocean 2 came out i was psyched n wanted to get one.

so far what i been thinkin is vm has been offering some alrite phones lately such as the shuttle and just today announcing the release of the Kyocera X-tc but it usually take months for just one cell phone to be out and their best phones feels outdated by my standards. despite releasing more decent phones in the market I doubt they are going to make anything that is remotely close to any of the helio devices anywhere in the long run.

so what i suggest is if your okay with jus textin, making phone calls, n listening to mp3s then go with vm otherwise if u do all of those and also spend alot of time on the internet and do alot of social networking then go wit helio. hope this helped

Answer 2

Virgin Mobile already owns Helio, so I'm pretty sure you will be able to get their phones pretty soon. I hate that they merged cause I hate Virgin Mobile, but atleast my contract is up this year. FYI I know the Helio phones look cool with all the features, but all of them, I've used them all, overload themselves and shut off without notice. I hate that, like if your in the middle of a call it will just restart itself, if your doing anything, it will restart itself, and they freeze alot. I have had an ocean, the screen went out within 2 months, my mysto's touch screen stopped working and the screen started flickering in 3 months and my fin had internal connection problems. So think about this first.

extremely Helio never had its personal insurance, nor does Virgin. They use an identical community insurance that is from sprint! so if u like it, then the insurance gained't replace in any respect.
