  • How does Virgin Mobile Phone Insurance work?

    Without insurance, you could get stuck paying full price to replace your phone if something goes wrong.

    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.

CNET Rating

The good.

The Samsung Restore is made out of recyclable materials, has a solid slider design, and includes features such as a 2.0-megapixel camera, a music player, a 3.5mm headset jack, and EV-DO Rev. 0.

The bad.

The Samsung Restore's camera doesn't take very good pictures and its call quality needs to be improved.

The bottom line.

The Samsung Restore is a great eco-friendly option if you want a full-featured multimedia messaging phone on Sprint.
