Virgin Mobile Kyocera K9 Pay-As-You-Go Wireless Phone
One might avoid the K9
There appears to be an unacknowledged problem with the Virgin K9's battery charge.  It is advertised by Virgin and Kyocera with a 7.5 day Standby Time.  I have tried 4 K9's and gotten, at best, 1-1/2 to 2 days of Standby Time with the phones sitting unused.    The K9 apparently replaced the Virgin K7; they are very similar.    I set fully charged K7 and K9 phones together, unused, in Standby Mode.  The K9 charge effectively was dead in about 1-1/2 days.  Even now, 3 DAYS LATER, the K7 indicates a full charge.    I like the Virgin service but the K9 is not a keeper.
