Virgin Mobile iPhone Cell Service (LA Area)?
I'm moving to California in a few months and I have to switch to a new cellphone company. I currently have Us Cellular but the service was terrible when I visited last month and previous times.
I looked at Virgin Mobile and realized that their cheapest cellphone plan for the iPhone is $30 if you enroll for the auto pay program. The iPhone is extremely expensive up front but I have a Best Buy credit card which allows an 18 month financing plan. I would buy the phone and set everything up in IL because I have to terminate my contract with Us Cellular. A lot of people have told me that the iPhone through Virgin works well in this area(Chicago Land) but I'm not sure if it works as well in the LA area, preferably Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.
I hear that most cellphone companies have issues with service in the LA area. I have a few friends who have Verizon & At&t who report problems even in their supposed covered areas.
Any Virgin Mobile users who could tell me if it is worth buying a Virgin Mobile iPhone or even going to Virgin Mobile?

- Why through t-mobile am i able to get the iphone 5 in my area but not the 4S? I go to the website and every time i type in my zip for the 4s it says its not available in my area. But the 5 just goes straight through to the purchasing process. Are they trying to force people to buy the 5 or is there solid reasoning behind it? Because i'm honestly considering switching providers over this bs.
- Why doesn't T-Mobile allow the Iphone 4s in my area? I don't understand. Please explain. It says this… The iPhone 4 and 4S are not available in your area. Please select the iPhone 5 to fully experience T-Mobile's advanced nationwide 4G network
- Virgin Mobile Canada to virgin mobile USA? So I bought an iPhone 4S that is locked to bell which they say is compatible with virgin mobile Canada carrier, but I'm moving back to United States soon if I unlock it I can use it in united states on the usa Virgin mobile carrier right?
- How to use a Verizon iPhone 4 on Virgin Mobile USA s service? A close friend of mine gave me his iPhone 4 (he got the 4S, and the screen on the 4 is shattered. I'm repairing it as I speak.) and I was hoping that I could use it on my current carrier's service, which is Virgin Mobile. I don't want to jailbreak or unlock the phone, I just want to use it. How do I go about doing this?
