    Earlier today we received word from a tipster that Virgin Mobile will be switching up its plan rates in the near future, likely sometime this month.

    The new rates add $10 to the price of the 300-minute plan (was $25, will be $35), $5 to the 1200 minute plan (was $40, will be $45), while dropping the price of the unlimited everything plan from $60 to $55. Virgin Mobile offers unlimited text, email, data, and web with all of its plans, and luckily, that won’t change along with the new pricing. While this news may not be welcome by all, there’s a little silver lining in these price hikes: the usual $10 fee for BlackBerry owners is coming to an end.

    [Thanks Tipster!]
