Unless you have a text messaging plan Virgin Mobile charges 15 cents to send or receive text messages. Checking your text messages online is a handy feature when you are trying to prevent excessive text messaging fees. It is also handy if your mobile phone is not in your possession. Virgin Mobile does not offer a feature to check your text messages online. However, you can still check your messages online and save money by utilizing third party resources.
