Virgin Mobile USA debuts Texter's Delight unlimited plan

Virgin Mobile USA announced it will launch Texter's Delight, a nationwide prepaid plan promising users unlimited SMS, IM, email, photo and video messaging for $19.99 per month. Launching April 15, the Texter's Delight package will also include a plan offering 1,000 messages for $14.99 per month. Virgin Mobile USA said the messaging plans are targeted to heavy texters who want voice minutes only as needed--the MVNO will offer talk time at 10 cents per minute.

In addition to the Texter's Delight initiative, Virgin Mobile USA will cut the price of its Totally Unlimited prepaid calling plan to $49.99 per month. Customers who sign up for Texter's Delight and/or Totally Unlimited may qualify for Pink Slip Protection, which waives up to three months of monthly charges in the event the customer becomes unemployed.
