Virgin Mobile Launches Contract-Free Unlimited Mobile Broadband

Sprint's Virgin Mobile announced on Tuesday an overhaul of its Broadband2Go mobile broadband service. The carrier plans to offer a new contract-free, unlimited mobile broadband plan for $40 per month, and Virgin Mobile will also phase out most of its current tiered mobile data plans.

The new broadband plans will be available for purchase online Wednesday, and will roll out to retail stores in the coming weeks. Virgin Mobile's announcement comes when the trend among mobile carriers is to control data consumption through tiered plans for both cell phone and mobile broadband access.

Starting Wednesday, Virgin Mobile's Broadband2Go will offer two new mobile broadband data plans: unlimited data for $40 per month or ten days of data access for $10 with consumption capped at 100MB. All Virgin Mobile plans are prepaid and contract-free.

To use Virgin Mobile's new mobile broadband plans, you must also purchase the carrier's MiFi 2200 mobile hotspot for $150 or the Ovation MC760 USB device for $80. Virgin Mobile's new broadband plans replace the carrier's previous tiered mobile broadband offerings that ranged from $10 to $60 with the top plan maxing out at 5GB of data access.
