IPhone 4s with Virgin Mobile?
I need a new phone and I was looking at the iPhone 4s. Virgin Mobile is my carrier and I understand that they now have iPhones. But, I don't want to pay $400-500 for a phone, even if it's not a contract thing.
My question exactly is if I buy an iPhone 4s off craigslist or Amazon, where it's way cheaper, and I unlock it myself, is there any way to make it work with Virgin Mobile?
I looked and found out that VM uses CDMA, but most iPhones are GSM or something else. Is this a problem as well?
Thank you.
Added (1). Please explain why other iPhones won't work, please.
Only VM iphones will work on VM.
no other ones will work
VM will only accept the imei number from their iphones.
there's no way to activate any other iphone on VM
- Will Virgin Mobile swap my iPhone 4s for the iPhone 5? IPhone 5 and iOS 6 was announced today. Will virgin mobile allow me to do this swap? I'm on a 3 year contract, with 2 years left.
- 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?
