These no-contract monthly plans range from $29.99 to $49.99 per month. The prepaid wireless plans vary with their text messaging and Web usage options.

2. No-Contract Pay as You Go

While these pay-as-you-go plans range from $20 to $50 per month, they offer the added benefit of roll-forward minutes. Texting and Web usage cost more in these plans than with Virgin Mobile’s monthly options.

3. No-Contract Texter’s Delight

The design of this Texter’s Delight plan is to focus on text messaging still with affordable voice minutes. Voice minutes are charged per minute without a plan or contract.

4. All-In Contract Plans

While Virgin Mobile has primarily been known as a no-contract carrier for prepaid wireless, it competes with the major carriers by also offering contract-based plans at comparable prices.

5. A La Carte Contract Plans

You can also take the a la carte route with Virgin Mobile. The minutes appear cheaper, but that’s because they don’t include messaging or Web usage. Those features are sold separately.

6. All-In Family Contract Plans

These family options are just like the other All-In plans. The initial pricing, though, is just for one person. You can then add four more lines at a discount or add each additional line separately.

7. A La Carte Family Contract Plans

Just like individuals can buy a la carte with Virgin Mobile, you can purchase shared minutes and services this way, too.
