Yeah, I just picked it up because I don't want to risk it getting lost during delivery on campus or getting a package during the summer.

Here are photos:

Mysterious letter pieces. The "do" could also be "op" and looks as though it was pasted onto a piece of paper.

If you add balance to a Virgin phone before 30 days is up, you should roll over your balance. The pin number - V-Key in Virgin parlance - is set by whoever activated the phone. There are means to retrieve it, but I wouldn't particularly tamper with it just yet. I certainly think there's no harm in adding balance to the phone as it is. I suspect that if the PMs wish to assure the phones can be used in the future, they'll be sure there's balance there to do it. The thing I find interesting is the 'bonus' stuff - that's not too common on the Virgin phones I've dealt with. (Other prepaid carriers bundle minutes, balance, or features with some of their phones.)

Ah.. ok.

as for the phone pins... couldn't be something as simple as 1-2-3-4 could it?

OK! So, what I'm gettin' here, Edgecrusher... is that if we try to hack the phone PINs, they'll explode.

(It's a joke!)

I'm emailing 42E, this phone needs to be sorted, or it will be deactivated.

Oh right, I saw that picture and promptly forgot that there was a charger in it! Hm ok, so my guess would be that since they gave you a charger, I imagine they will be tracking your minute balance and expiration date, and will do what it takes to make sure the phone isn't deactivated before the end of the game.

I say "since they gave you a charger" as that definitely implies that your responsibility is to keep it charged and not worry about the rest, or else they probably would have included a pre-paid Virgin card and instructions about how the phone's contract expiration worked.

Also, I'm sure this was mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but can you guys who got the drop tell me what the badge/honor was for being one of the 25 to do that, assuming there was one? I'm already upset that I couldn't get the "Screen Scene" one (I think it was called) for going to the trailer screening.[/quote]

Here is what my badge looks like:
