For a limited time you can get a free year of service from Virgin Mobile when you purchase a Slash, Wild Card, or the new Shuttle. This could potentially save you $90 a year.
To qualify, you must purchase a new phone. Also, this does not mean you get any free airtime, you will need to maintain a balance on the phone to talk/text.
The Shuttle is also available only at Best Buy… Also, these promotions are stackable, so if you select a virgin mobile kickback code from the forum you can get an extra 60 minutes for free, on top of the year of activation.
