Anyone else got a problem when they reach $5 or lower on their Audiovox 8500 they hear 3 buzzes when they make or recieve a phone call? Its really annoying cuz it wastes about 30 secs of your time and sometimes when you answer your phone call after the 3 buzzes it blocks whatever the person is saying. The problem is solved once I top-up. Anyone else got this problem or know how to fix it cuz its plain annoying.

Thats just a warning letting you know your minutes are low, its on all the Virgin mobile phones, well really its not the phone its their network and it cannot be turned off. It really sucks because it sucks down your minutes at a time when you have almost none

Ok thanks. I never noticed it on my Kyocera model since it fell apart so quickly. Well this is bad. The constant buzzing is tripling the time it takes for me to check my voicemail taking up even more minutes.

You really let it get down to $5??? I usually top-up at $20...........

what do you think of the virgin mobile service overall? thinking about getting virgin over nextel boost.

the service is okay and its cheaper than boost but boost has better phones plus the PTT
