Oh, at last. Virgin Mobile‘s introducing a UK-style pay structure to the US mobile phone network. No contracts, 10 cents a minute after the first ten minutes. It’s a bit pricey, but it does mean that I no longer have to deal directly with US cellphone providers, their insane contracts, and the most fucked-up unuserfriendly corporate customer relations I’ve ever encountered. Our household has been trying to cancel a phone contract with Worldcom for eight months without success. Fuckers don’t even answer the phone.
I can’t tell whether Virgin US still has the US airtime system of charging, where you pay for incoming calls as well as outgoing. It’d be fantastic if they junked that too.
