Its $35/month for the same plan to new customers. Existing customers get to keep the $25/mo rate even if you change phones. Yes you can make Skype calls in both 3G and wifi. I use skype for most of my outgoing calls. The only catch I can think of is the phone won't tether unless you root the phone. Not sure who owns virgin but they use Sprint's CDMA network. Coverage is excellent, certainly better than ATT.
On the plus side, the phone has gotten cheaper. I picked up a second Optimus V for $99 a couple of weeks ago. Check Best Buy's web site on the weekends for sales. I ordered it online and picked it up in store an hour later.
