Can I buy an iPhone from a different provider and use it for Virgin Mobile?
If I buy an iPhone from, say AT&T, could I use it for a Virgin Mobile plan? I don't really want to buy an iPhone from Virgin Mobile because they're $650.
Generally no - at least in the UK most companies that offer good prices lock their phones to their network and you normally have to wait until the end of a contract to get it unlocked. However if you buy an unlocked iphone direct from apple then you will be able to use any network
