Skype and Virgin Mobile: Save 20% On Phone Bills!

Two years ago, I dropped my landline in favor of Skype ($.02 / minute) and a pay as you go cellphone through Virgin Mobile USA ($.25 / minute - no monthly charges).

In the last 12 months, I've spent $125.45 on phone bills. Reviewing VMUsa for some options, I noticed that they had adjusted one of the tiers: $.20 per minute with no fixed monthly fees. Moving to the new plan will save me 20% off the top!

Virgin Mobile also has a program where you can watch and rate web ads to "earn airtime in your spare time". And since I've been earning about 25 minutes of free airtime a week, I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to cut my overall expenses in half over the next 12 months.


Check out their website - Virgin Mobile has several different plan options.  If you do decide to get a phone, enter code X6MVqMNp when you activate it online. We'll both get a free $20 in airtime.  You can also pick up Virgin Mobile phones at Best Buy or Walmart, I think.
