Virgin Mobile

Just out of curiosity whatever happened to Virgin Mobile, are they still around. Whatever happened to them. I remember them being a name in wireless in my young adulthood.

I remember one of the girls at my first job had Virgin Mobile, this was in 2005. This was when AT&T was Cingular. I think they were a CDMA MVNO on Sprint.

In mid-2018 Virgin Mobile was pulled out of Target stores. Shortly thereafter a majority of the Virgin Mobile workforce was laid off. In April 2019 the brand was pulled out of Best Buy and in May, Meijer. In October 2019, Virgin Mobile was pulled from Walmart leaving the company without a national retail presence.

In January 2020, Virgin Mobile announced that it would shut down, and transfer its remaining customers to Boost Mobile the following month in preparation for the Sprint and T-Mobile merger.
