LG Optimus V - Virgin Mobile WIFI Hotspot for FREE!


Ok this phone is not getting the best reviews out there and I agree with some of them.  But even though there are some negative reasons not to buy this phone there are also some good reasons to make this purchase.  Who loves free WIFI hot spot?  I DO, and this phone allows you to access it's WIFI hot spot feature for free.  That's right, I said "WIFI hot spot for free".  All you have to do is go to the android market, down load an APP called Hotspot Widget, and your in!  Once you have installed the widget place it on your home screen through your "widget shortcuts" and there you have it "free WIFI".  And then best part about this feature is the data is UNLIMITED!  Plans for Virgin start out at $25 per month so this is a steal.  Verizon, ATT, Sprint, and all the other cell phone providers charge at least $25 for this feature and not all phone providers give unlimited data.  Check the video out with this post.  It explains how to get the WIFI feature and the video also shows how well it works.  To give you an idea of how well it works, I went to FOX.com and Netflix.com and simultaneously loaded pages and videos from both sites.  Now there was some lag for running both sites but very little.  I also tested both sites by themselves and there was ZERO lag. Just remember Virgin runs off the Sprint network so coverage is not in all areas.  My suggestion is to check the coverage area and make sure you are covered because if your not then you will not get any service Virgin has Zero roaming.  JUST REMEMBER THIS IS A PREPAY PHONE but it's one of the best prepay phones on the market today.
