Contract is up with AT&T and thinking of switching to VM.

Anyone use it?

Pro's?
Con's?

Cant get service at my house be careful of spotty coverage. Dont go by the coverage maps either as they are bold faced lies. Stick with 1 of the big 4 or you will be kicking yourself down the road.

I use them in Canada. Pros they are cheap, cons, I lose coverage very quickly, their customer service is horrible. They will send me an e mail today stating my bill is available then begin texting and calling 2 days later asking why I haven't paid. My contract is up with them and have been looking around because I want to go to the i phone. Unless they give me a very good deal I will be heading somewhere else.

Horrible coverage. I had them for one year and just switched to Boost Mobile. So far much better. My wife has used them for a year. I would not recommend Virgin Mobile to anybody. Boost only $55 month with unlimited everything also has the shrinkage plan where your bill goes down after time.

Thanks for the replies. They use the Sprint network which seems to have descent coverage around here.
Still gonna look around.

Yeah they use the Sprint network and I havent had any problems with them. I dont really talk much though, mainly text and internet. I also spend most of my time in the nothern baltimore area so there shouldnt be a coverage issue around me. Just get a good phone for it though.
