Virgin Mobile Relaunches Helio

Virgin Mobile has revitalized the Helio brand, and it will now be known as Helio by Virgin Mobile, which is quite a mouthful. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anybody that the deals that Helio is currently offering are tempting. The enhanced Helio $80 a la carte plan will now feature unlimited minutes, which is a rather big bump over the original 1,500 minutes. Said plan will be available to current and new Helio members. Virgin Mobile will be looking to bring more of their previous packages from Helio to their current lineup, which would probably mean Google Maps and turn-by-turn directions. There are also hints that the Ocean 2 might be launched sometime soon.
