Can i transfer a virgin mobile iphone from canda to the US?
I'm currntly visting canada and i live in the US. Here i wanna buy a iphone 4s for Virgin mobile. They are much cheaper, is it possiable that when i get to the US for it to still work? Or is there some kind of transfer i can do?
Depends
#1. Your getting an Iphone, so special Apple contracts and rules apply in regards to your carrier, country, and you. Deal with it! Its an iphone
#2… Virgin Mobile Canada is CDMA like Virgin Mobile USA, 2 different companies. The usa branch may not allow you to put the canadian iphone on their network for the simple fact your didn't buy it from them. In the USA, no CDMA iphone can be put on another CDMA carrier. Sprint is forever on Sprint. Verizon is Forever on Verizon. Virgin is forever on Vrigin. Metro is forever on Metro. Again… You got an iphone… Special @#$!#%#! Apply… Deal with it.
#3… The iphone is global ready and has a sim slot for customer who travel to other parts of the world… But CDMA carriers lock this function. Only customers of their get to unlock this function without issue…
Fuinally. #4… You could bring it to the USA, jailbreak the CDMA iphone, unlock the SIM card lock VM Canada put on it, and then pop in a ATT/Tmobile/Straight Talk SIM… Again, this is iffy. Never heard of this being done… I do know that CDMA carriers in the USA lock the SIM card from all GSM carriers in the USA, like ATT Tmobile and Straight Talk… This is why a branded Sprint/Verizon/Virgin USA global Ready phones like the iphone and Droid Razr and Gs3 and GS4 will never work on ATT or Tmobile or Strraight Talk. And there's no known hack to bypass that lock… Even if Sprint/Verizon/Virgin USA unlcok the sim for international travel, its still locked to all USA SIm cards… Gott love capaitalism… The same can be said for Canada, Virgin Canada may lock Canadian Sim cards but unlock international Sim cards… And since the USA is considered international in regards to Canada, it may work…
well.more power to you…
I would use Swappa.com and get a cheap used no scam GSM Iphone or CDMA iphone, depending on who you want for a carrier…

- Why can't I receive emojis from an AT&T iPhone on my Virgin Mobile iPhone? My girlfriend can't send me emojis through messaging but can on kik, kakao and things like that. We both have iPhones, so I don't see why she can't. Hers is jail broken, but she can send emojis to other people, just not me.
- Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile? I'm moving to Houston this summer and I'm looking for a cheaper cell phone plan. I talk, text, email, fb etc. I had virgin mobile back in 2004 and I love it and had no problem. I have a android galaxy s3 right now which I love but the battery isn't so great. I'm thinking about possibly buying an iPhone. What I'm really looking for is reviews on virgin and boost mobile. If you have any other cheap cell phone plan carrier suggestions I'm up for that too.
- Virgin Mobile iphone 4s: Does it work on T-mobile? If I purchased the unlocked iphone 4s from Virigin mobile would I be able to use it on T-mobile? Does anybody know if the virigin mobile iphone has a spot for a sim card like the ones T-mobile uses?
