Even though Virgin Mobile USA is just an MVNO and does not have its own infrastructure, it keeps adding some very cool and innovative services to its offering. Lately they’ve partnered with 3jam to provide their users with multi-party text-messaging service. This is the first time a carrier has brought such service to allow more than two users to chat at the same time. Virgin Mobile USA’s customers can use the new service for free, although standard text messaging rates apply.
This is also a huge victory for 3jam which will now get much more users thanks to the tie up with a carrier. And in case you care, they took $4 million in funding from Norwest Venture Partners and New Enterprise Associates in July this year.
