Virgin Mobile intros LG Tribute, rejiggers Unlimited rate plans

(Virgin Mobile gives customers more options with revised rate plans.)

Virgin Mobile on Monday introduced its latest Android phone, the LG Tribute. Priced at $80, standout details include a 4.5-inch display, 5-megapixel rear camera, and 4GB internal storage.
In addition, the carrier also made noticeable changes to its Unlimited service plans. Effective immediately, customers have more options to choose from, including a new low-cost rate plan.
Subscribers can now opt for a $20 plan that gives you 300 voice minutes with unlimited text. You won't get any 3G or 4G data with the package, but you can have all the Wi-Fi you can handle.
The $35 plan now lets customers choose between two bundles. Behind door number one is unlimited voice, text, and 250MB of high-speed data; behind door number two is 300 voice minutes, unlimited texting, and up to 2.5GB of high-speed data access.
Or, for $45 per month, Virgin Mobile provides unlimited minutes and messages and 1GB of data. A $55 option sees the data bucket increased to 3GB. Both plans now offer unlimited international texting and 100 minutes of international calling.
If you need more minutes or flexibility, a $5 monthly add-on tosses in unlimited voice minutes to Canada and Mexico, and $10 per month more nets you 1,000 minutes to call more than 200 countries.
