Has anyone noticed Virgin Mobile's false advertisement!?

I have a virgin moblie prepaid cell phone and i thought it was a good value. you pay $20 for 200 minutes. but over time i noticed that my account was draining unusually fast and i hadn't even talked that much. so i checked my account on the phone and saw it said ';you are paying the basic rate 20 cents a miniute';! If you do the math you are only getting half of the minutes you pay for. rather than 200 minutes *which would pan out to 10 cents a minute* YOU ARE ONLY GETTING HALF OF WHAT YOU PAY FOR *100 minutes at 20 cents a minute!* is this even legal because i believe it is false advertising!Has anyone noticed Virgin Mobile's false advertisement!?
I have a Virgin phone too. See, here's how it works: you use a top up card to add money to your account and then you buy a ';minute pack.'; That's how you get 200 minutes for $20. You can do it right from your phone by pressing the dollar sign key. If you don't buy the minute pack, you will end up paying 20 cents a minute. Here's a link to the company's website that explains it in further detail.Has anyone noticed Virgin Mobile's false advertisement!?
when u buy the 20 dollar 200 minutes card u have to chose a minute pack for 200 minutes.u go to ur account on ur phone and pick a minute pack.lowest one is 20 dollars.if u dont pick a minute pack it will charge 20 cents a minute no matter how much money is on ur account.
I used to have virgin mobile, and it sucks. The amount of money you will spend on top up cards are outrageous. You should switch to boost mobile. It's 50 a month unlimited everything.
I understood it was only to other virgin mobile phones??
