If you're on Virgin Mobile, the Sprint subsidy is following T-Mobile's lead by offering up data-free music streaming, meaning you can stream without digging into your month's data allotment. And frankly, for some of us, streaming is our biggest data expenditure, making this a data-free streaming a welcome addition.

This new service will be available from Virgin Mobile on October 9. However, only Pandora, Slacker, and iHeartRadio are supported, but the carrier plans on adding more services to its lineup soon. “Soon,” the famous last words, but it'd still be nice to see Play Music and Spotify get added to the list.

Virgin Mobile recently upgraded its Unlimited plans to include more data.
