I bought an iPhone 5s off of eBay locked to EE should it work with Virgin?

I already have it (I bought it because everywhere online said a Virgin sim will work with an EE locked iPhone. I put it in and activated it yesterday, and only the 3G works, I can't send or receive either texts or calls. Does anyone know how I can get this to work?

Thank you.

Added (1). If I had to get it unlocked, is there a way I could do this myself, if not how much would it cost?

Get it unlocked.

  • What does it mean if i buy a o2 locked iphone 5 off ebay? I was planning on staying on my o2 contract but switching my phone to an iphone by buying one and getting a nano sim card that o2 would give me for free. I have found an iphone 5 for over £100 cheaper (compared to apple price) on ebay but it says o2 locked instead of unlocked. Does this mean that i have to have an o2 contract (which i have so i should be okay i think?) or something else? Someone please explain to me?
