How Will VM Compete?
How will Virgin Mobile compete with MetroPCS and Cricket, each now offering unlimited local and long distance in metro areas in 20 states?

My VM Cyclops is my 4th cell phone and I am pretty satisfied with it and the service. I haven't scoped out the competition too much, however. 🤨
