This is an app for Virgin Mobile account users. It works only in the USA and only for cellphone users. App DOES NOT support Broadband2Go plans yet.
It brings all the vital information from Virgin Mobile website and presents it on your mobile with a single touch! Even for multiple accounts!
Dear User, LEAVING NEGATIVE FEEDBACK BREAKS MY HEART. Especially, if you cannot log in because Virgin Mobile website is down or do not know how to use my app. I will do my best to fix any issues so if you find one please email me the details.
Credits
-----------------------------
I wanted to give credit to Jay - author of the original minutes checker (red clock icon on gray background) for doing amazing job. It is a pity he discontinued support for his app.
Feedback
-----------------------------
This app is my hobby project - I use it for my own purposes so in this lays your guarantee that it will be maintained.
But this app is mainly for YOU. If not for you, I would be the only user which would be pretty sad. So I desperately need you help. Please voice your feedback. If you have ideas, please email me.
If you appreciate the app please take a minute to leave a positive feedback and spread the word.
Features
-----------------------------
- checking account balance with one click
- support for compressed webpages from provider's site for faster processing
- support for auto-pay and manual pay accounts
- report status when making or receiving calls
- progress bars that change color: green - plenty minutes left for the rest of this month, yellow - you are more or less on track, red - you are over budget for the rest of this month as of today

Note that android disables widgets if you move (any) app to SD card.
Security
-----------------------------
App does not communicate with any other external servers or websites. Your credentials are stored locally in the app but can be removed at any time. I understand people's concern about storing and sending passwords so let me share the details:
- they are sent to Virgin Mobile website over encrypted HTTPS connection
- they are not sent anywhere else (stored only within the app on your phone)
- as with all other apps, you have to trust in common decency of the author i.e.me :)

This is a very simple to set up and use minutes checker and it's very accurate. Virgin Mobile keeps changing the way to get to your current minutes and the way they're displayed. Every time there's a change it screws up this minutes checker. Virgin's current display is awful.

This app is great, but in the latest build the pie widget doesn't show the correct amounts even though when I open the app it shows the correct number of minutes. The pie graph always shows 1269 minutes.

Been using this for a while now. Works great on my new phone running Lollipop 5.1.1. Any chance that this will be updated soon? Would love an additional dialog for using the data packs, so I can see how much bandwidth I use up with those.

Only problem is it won't refresh from widget (2x1 is one I'm using), just stays searching. Much better than dealing with Virgin site.***refresh from widget did work after opening the app up from app drawer first, then going back to widget and refreshing.***I unchecked amount due in settings, but it still shows on main screen.***ADD option to remove "new cycle starts", it isn't useful.

Data isn't updating again. I'm guessing its vm's fault. Can you add a paid no ad version?

I have an error when i refresh it and the error is something to do with reporting the data usage. Before this happened, I think this started around the 23rd of July, it's the best app to check usage. I've sent 2 error reports but it doesn't seem like it did anything. Author: I'll change this to a 5 out of 5 if/when this error is no longer happening.

It used to be an amazing app, but now it won't display my correct info so it's like not having the app. No longer worth the SD memory, uninstalled!

Now only minutes update. Options in settings not available. What a shame.
