As with contract SIM-only plans, if you're on a Virgin Mobile contract right now, Optus's decision to drop the Virgin Mobile brand doesn't mean you get a free pass out of your contract or a free phone.
It seems likely that Optus may try to migrate phone contract customers over to Optus plans, and those deals could have good value to you, but it's well worth knowing what your alternatives are in any case.
That's especially true if you're in the last few months of a two-year contract because your phone is essentially paid off at that point. It may even make financial sense to break your contract if there are better terms to be had on a new phone or if you can pair it up with a superior SIM-only option.
