VM's second LTE phone. Samsung Galaxy S III

New phone coming!!! Mid-June.

Samsung Galaxy S III.

$299 is what I read, supposed to be at wal-mart as well.

Will post more as I learn more.

$399.88 will be the going price at Wal-Mart. Emp said 2 were on order, but no "in-store" date specifically.

somewhat predictable because Straight-Talk has it for $439.99

too pricey of an upgrade for me.

i'll stick with my Samsung Galaxy Victory.

Was spotted in a best buy mobile catalog (june 2013 edition)....
no price though

I noticed they have the Victory on sale for 188... wonder how low it will drop when the S3 hits?

Boost Mobile before Virgin... Samsung Galaxy S III

Looks like BOOST MOBILE will get it before Virgin Mobile.

not surprising. they can get $55 from a plan on a newer phone

$399 price confirmed.

Re: VM's second LTE phone. Samsung Galaxy S III

Well, it popped on the website this morning.......

Guess the previous statement I read online was wrong.

But is it worth $399..........$200 more than the Victory?

Interesting... if offers mobile hotspot for $15... the victory still does not...

So there ya have it the first virgin mobile LTE hotspot is a galaxy S3 2.5 GB full speed then 256k/256k

The VICTORY does have a hotspot, its just disabled for Virgin Mobile....

i've used about 2.4GB of 4G LTE data so far...... in 13 days.

NOW in wal-mart stores. Some stores have the S III in Virgin Mobile......Some had it in Boost Mobile.....

AND best buy . .

and i swear, there are even 6 listings on Ebay. where do these people get these things to just resell them?

i have a galaxy victory for virgin mobile but when i turn on hotspot it says hotspot not supported. all i want to know is if i buy a samsung galaxy s3 from virgin mobile can i use it as a mobile hotspot?? and what is that 15$ everyone tlks about for hotspot i have a 50 or 55 dollar unlimited everything plan thru virgin is that enuff???

the answer is *NO*! Although an option, its disabled on the Victory and S3 for now........
Virgin has given no date of when they'll enable it.
I'm sure they're afraid everyone will be sucking tons of data using a hotspot on a faster LTE connection.

so, if you're buying one of these phones for the hotspot feature, its not gonna work as of now.
