Should I buy an iPhone from Virgin Mobile?

Q. Buying an iPhone from Virgin Mobile is very expensive because it is no contract. The issue is that there is no coverage. Does Apple itself offer special coverage? It is really worth it to buy one?

A. It's a trade off between the cost and freedom. As for me I prefer freedom and would never buy an iPhone with a contract.
And if the coverage is not good you may think about buying a mobile signal amplifier (booster). I think that you will find the one here - http://www.ishopamplifiers.com/for-small-houses.html
