Problem with virgin mobile IPhone?

I just got the Virgin Mobile no contract IPhone 4s, and I went online to activate it, and I paid for a plan and it gave me a phone number. After that, my phone still didn't work. Then, I found out that they're going to send an email later so you can program your new number into the phone. Has anyone else had this phone and do you know how long the program email takes?

  • 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.
