Virgin increasing outgoing text rates & Directory Assistance November 3rd

Coming off the latest announcements of increasing Web Browsing prices, Virgin is set to increase their outgoing text message rates effective November 3rd. So if you are not on a text plan this gives you enough time to consider one.

On their site they state “Virgin to Virgin text rate will change to 15¢ from 5¢ for each outgoing text. If you’re on a text add-on, these texts are free (if you haven’t gone over the number of texts included in your add-on). If you’re a big time texter, then check out one of our awesome rate plans with text included or one of our text add-ons! And remember that all incoming texts are free.”

In addition to this increase, Virgin will also be increasing the Directory Assistance price from $1.25, to $2.00 per call.
