More cell phone troubles
11 years ago
So, I may not have a cell phone in three days. Virgin Mobile apparently has this thing where if you don't add money to your account every six weeks, they send a ransom message. "Add money by [two days from now] so you don't lose your balance & to keep your service working." Now I've downgraded myself to the cheapest texting plan I could handle so we could save money and I could keep my phone. It's a $5/month plan. The cheapest top-up option is $10. So I pay for two months of service, use it for 6 weeks, and get a ransom message to add another $10. It's not a low balance thing, as we've done this for a few months already so I have a buffer of money still.
My boyfriend had enough of that, so he's not going to play that game anymore. But I also couldn't really get him to understand my side either... as I repeated the same thing 4 times and he still didn't get it. But that is a whole different drama story.
Anyways, so in three days when I fail to deliver the ransom I'll let you kids know what happens

So what became of that, or has the time not yet elapsed? Have you tried talking to their customer service? It sounds like an error to me. Cash balances like that should be good for at least a year, not expire after two months.

OP
i find out tomorrow if it just completely turns off my phone. I can't really talk to Customer Services because they want information I didnt know I had to remember... the sorts of things that you set up when you first get a phone... which I got about 6 years ago.
