Minute Checker

About Minute Checker Android App

NOTE:
This application was not developed by Virgin Mobile. Author does not try to impersonate and has no affiliation with Virgin Mobile.

----- ------ ----- ------

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.

Security
-----------------------------

- as with all other apps, you have to trust in common decency of the author i.e.me :)
