It’s being ported out tonight so I can’t stop it. So there’s no way I can “suspend” my account because I literally just paid. I guess I’ll end up loosing all rewards and will have to start over
It is a done deal if you sent YES to the PM port confirmation text message.
If you want to stop PM from releasing your phone number to Virgin, reply NO to PM port confirmation text message.
Do a test. If you cannot login to your self-serve account, your account was canceled already.
There is no free lunch/phone. You will be paying dearly for the Virgin phone if you are planning to cancel after the first bill. Find out what it balance of your phone account as soon as you sign the contract. You have 14 days to change you mind and return your phone to the store and you do not own Virgin or the store a penny. After 14 days, you are locked in for 2 years.
Read your contract and find out how much is the phone account balance. You may be paying $20/m for your phone. Total for 2 years is $20 * 24 = $480. Your phone account balance may be $1000. On your 24th payment, your phone account is magically become $0. But if you leave Virgin before 24 months, you will have to pay the balance on your phone account.
I have churned a few Virgin phones in the past. First thing I ask is "what is the phone account balance as soon as I sign the contract". I will ask how much gift card that retail store will give me for activating a Virgin plan with the phone that I want. Then, I know how much I will pay for the Virgin phone if I cancel my Virgin plan next day.
