Without insurance, you could get stuck paying full price to replace your phone if something goes wrong. So Virgin Mobile has partnered with Asurion to make Phone Insurance available to our customers. For just $5/month you'll be covered if your phone breaks or is lost, stolen, or damaged - even with liquid.

Here's how it works:
- Sign up for Phone Insurance within 15 days of activating your phone on a Beyond Talk Plan.
- The $5 premium will be deducted from your Virgin Mobile account each month.
- If something happens to your phone, file a claim online or over the phone.
- As long as your claim is approved and you pay the deductible, you'll typically receive a replacement phone within 24 hours.

You can activate your device by selecting Menu > Settings > Phone Info > Activation. After the service has been activated simply press the "Activate" soft key on the idle screen to program your Virgin Mobile phone number into your phone.

As an alternative, you can follow these steps after the phone has been activated.
1. Turn on your phone.
2. Press the Dial key to display the keypad. Dial ##VIRGIN# (that's #-#-8-4-7-4-4-6-#).
3. You are now in the Programming menu. Scroll down to "Activate Phone" and press "OK."
4. Your screen will say, "Do you want to activate your phone now?" Select "Yes."
5. Your phone will connect to the network and then the screen will say: "Welcome to Virgin Mobile". Press "Start it up" to continue the activation process.
6. Your phone will say "We're Activating Your Phone Now" then your phone will display your new Virgin Mobile phone number. Write it down.
7. Scroll down to "Finish" and press "OK" to complete the activation process. Your phone will turn off and back on by itself.

It might take a couple of hours to get you set up on our network, but we'll send a text message to your phone to let you know you can start talking. Also, it may take up to 4 hours for Downloads, Voicemail, and Top-Up features to come online.
