Virgin Mobile no-term price drops: Galaxy S Vibrant now $349.99, Pearl 9100 only $99.99

By on July 29, 2011 at 3:20pm in Mobile News, Virgin Mobile News


Virgin has priced dropped a couple smartpones – both about a year old but still incredibly worth it. The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant is now a low $349.99 outright (upgrade to OS 2.3 coming in August), followed by a further price drop to the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 to a shockingly low $99.99 no-contract.

Check them out here at Virgin
(Thanks tipsters!)

  3. Samsung Galaxy 550 is $90 on prepaid. Check the Alcatel Tribe and LG Optimus One (or copycat Phoenix) first, though. Check out different carriers’ plans, too.

  4. I have a 9100 and for a blackberry its actually not to bad. If you like something small and compact but with blackberry features its a pretty good way to go. I’m not happy seeing this go for a hundred bucks now tho. I was going to try and sell mine :(

  9. That’d what im wondering Justin. I’m looking to purchase this phone to use on solo. You would think it would work since they are all the same company

  10. The Bell Vibrant has a hidden internal unlock code (see XDA) for free. So if it doesn’t work on Solo without unlock, no cost to you.

  11. You won’t be able to buy the Vibrant at the no-contract price without having a Virgin phone plan, right?

  13. @ Justin,Chris, Jim R.
    Yes, you need to have a plan to purchase the Vibrant. But what you could do is get it on a month to month contract and cancel it. You’ll just have to pay your first bill so choose the lowest plan for it, should be the $40 Andriod plan, and Yes any HSPA phones on Virgin Mobile and on Bell, work with each other ex. Samsung Galaxy S/Vibrant will work with Bell (No need for unlocking).

    BB 9100 can be purchased out right for $99 without contract.
