Virgin Mobile SMS

July 28, 2006 by Dylan Tweney

If you’ve got a cell phone from Virgin Mobile, here’s what you need to know about using SMS text messaging with your mobile.

  • Maximum message length: 160 characters.
  • What happens to longer messages: Anything beyond 160 characters will be cut off.
  • Cost per message: 10 cents for each message you send or receive to U.S. numbers. For international recipients, you pay 20 cents/message to send and 10 cents to receive. Monthly Messaging Packs will lower your per-message cost if you use SMS a lot.
  • For more information: Virgin Mobile Text Messaging
  • Sending email to your phone: Use the address format [10-digit phone number]@vmobl.com
    Example: 5551234567@vmobl.com

    Why is the word “T-Mobile” included on the line above regarding ‘more’ Virgin Mobile information?

    Hey, friend,
    the flowers are
    all gone,
    and the sunshine
    is hiding in
    the wintery sky,
    so I wanted to
    send you a
    warm hug and
    some sunshine
    to let you know
    you’re in my
    thoughts today.
    I’ll do my best
    to send you
    the warmth of summer
    when winter winds
    come your way and thios my phon number 0233275997787

    Question – Can we SMS contacts list? I’d like to save my contacts and later load them to another phone. Can I send an SMS message that enters a contact into the phone ?
