Flexible No-Contract Service Options:  With the innovative technology of Samsung Galaxy S III, Virgin Mobile USA customers will appreciate the real savings over postpaid service of our monthly Beyond Talk plans which offer unlimited data and messaging starting at $35 per month. These no-contract plans are especially designed for data-savvy customers, who tend to surf the internet; send emails, texts and instant messages and post to social networks more than they use their phones for calling.  As Sir Richard Branson asks in his Virgin Mobile USA video manifesto for A Higher Calling, “Why pay for minutes when it’s unlimited data you really want?”

    I have an open tweet out to VMUCare regarding this phone.

    The phones webpages say it has a Quad Core in the “Top Features” section, a Single Core in the “Specifications” section and a Dual Core when you perform a “Phone Comparison.”

    Hopefully they’ll get an answer out to us soon.
