Virgin Mobile's Data-Free Music streaming debuted in early October with three services being supported. Virgin Mobile has plans between $35-$55 per month and each, though unlimited as a whole, includes a limited amount of data coming from its 4G LTE network. Music streaming is a huge hog on data and the carrier recognizes this by implementing Data-Free Music streaming. It allows customers to stream music from select services without having an affect on their monthly allotment of high-speed data.

Now the carrier, which is owned by Sprint, is adding two new services to the mix.

8tracks and Samsung's Milk Music are both now supported by the carrier's Data-Free Music streaming. 8tracks consists of activity- and mood-based playlists while Milk Music is a radio streaming service that has over two hundred curated stations. These two are joining Pandora, iHeartRadio, and Slacker Radio as the the five music streaming services used freely with Virgin Mobile.

Virgin Mobile is also adding two phones from LG to its lineup. The G Stylo and Tribute 2 are being sold for $199 and $99, respectively.
