Virgin Mobile USA is offering customers who buy a special edition Virgin Mobile Festival Wild Card handset by Kyocera Wireless VIP access to the Virgin Mobile Guest Lounge at the upcoming Virgin Mobile Festival, Aug. 9-10 in Baltimore. Customers only need to show their new handsets to be admitted to the special guest area.
Available exclusively at Best Buy for $99.99, the Virgin Mobile Festival Special Edition Wild Card handset also comes with 50 song downloads from eMusic and a 1-year subscription to SPIN Magazine. Only 15,000 Special Edition handsets are available.
“With the introduction of the Virgin Mobile Festival Special Edition Wild Card, we’ve made a highly popular phone even more desirable. The killer custom design, together with a host of perks designed specially for music lovers, makes this new handset as hot a ticket as Virgin Mobile Festival itself,” said Woozae Kim, director of strategic marketing and integration of handsets for Virgin Mobile USA, in a statement.
Kyocera Wireless has been the festival’s premier handset sponsor for 3 years.
