Virgin Mobile isn't so bad, although their service in the US is lacking compared to other countries.

- trotsky 16y agoJust FYI - Virgin Mobile USA is wholly owned by Sprint. Since they are just a Sprint MVNO, it's (at this point) just a way to discount their services without diluting their brand. The various Virgin Mobile brands in different companies are all(mostly?) independent of each other.
- hugh3 16y agoThat's interesting, I didn't know that. Branson really doesn't own any of it?
- trotsky 16y agoI think virgin group does own the UK service. Apparently they did VM USA as a joint venture with sprint and then sprint bought them out. The rest appear to be franchise/licensing agreements. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Virgin_Mobile https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Virgin_Mobile
