The popular US carrier
Virgin Mobile has made a few changes on international call rates, and now it is cheaper than ever to make phone calls to Latin American countries and others. The sudden change is probably related to the worldwide (money) crisis, and by dropping the rates they can get more clients and still have a good margin of profit.
So, how much does it cost to make calls to Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, China, and Hong Kong among other countries? As low as five cents per minute! When comparing prices with other carriers, the value is higher by 100% or 200%.
One of the advantages that came with this modification is that
Virgin customers don’t need to buy a special card to make international calls. Just use the existing ones, or buy a normal Top-Up card.
