Virgin Mobile Broadband2Go $40 Prepaid Unlimited Data Launched

Now, Virgin Mobile's 
Broadband2Go offers a new $40 unlimited mobile broadband plan.
Available tomorrow online the plan includes access unlimited internet
use at home or on-the-go for $40
per month.

 The $10 option for 100 MB, good for 10 days from
purchase,
remains for less frequent internet users. Other broadband plans
have been eliminated.

A recent study from the U.S. Department of Labor shows that the
self-employed and independent workers represent approximately 30% of the
nation's workforce. The study determined that this segment of the
self-employed population, consisting mainly of small business owners and
freelancers, represents a large market of consumers who need to stay
connected, mainly with email and internet browsing, without the
constraints of a contract.²

"Many unlimited broadband offerings require a contract or are on
networks with limited range, so they don't meet the need for flexibility
or true mobility," said Neil Lindsay, chief marketing officer, Virgin
Mobile USA. "The introduction of Virgin Mobile's prepaid unlimited
broadband for $40 a month will provide the access you need on a
nationwide network without a contract."

New Broadband2Go Plans

Signing up for the new unlimited plan also means customers no longer
need to monitor data usage - and try to figure out how much they need --

Broadband 2Go does not require activation remains simple and without fees. Customers who are currently
signed up for the $20, $40 and $60 plans will be able to use up the data
or time (whichever comes first) on their current plans. The next time
they need Broadband2Go, they will have the choice of these two plans.

Virgin Mobile offers two different mobile
broadband devices on both plans as part of the Broadband2Go portfolio:

• the Ovation MC760 USB device connects to a single personal computer
  or laptop and is available at retail for $79.99 and,
• the MiFi 2200, the nation's first prepaid Mobile
  Intelligent Hotspot, priced at $149.99 allows up to five users at a
  time to connect using a variety of Wi-Fi enabled devices
