To get started, download Chat Park for free or go to VirginXL -> Power Chat on your Virgin Mobile phone.

Both Chat Park™ and Power Chat® cost the same and provide the same chat services. The difference is that Chat Park™ requires a Java download to chat while Power Chat® is available right away on your phone.

Is there anything I should keep in mind when chatting with other users?

Remember, there are hundreds of users out there. So play it safe. Here's a good rule of thumb: Don't share anything in Chat Park or Power Chat that you wouldn't be comfortable posting publicly.
In other words, don't give out personal information such as your last name, phone number, email, or home address. And don't get fooled into sharing any personal financial information such as credit card or social security numbers. (Virgin Mobile wouldn't ask you for that sort of information through Chat Park or Power Chat.)
