Will Virgin Mobile USA unlock my iPhone 5s?
I have the 32gb version-A1453 w/SIM card ( GSM compatible)
I know the Canada one will unlock after 90 days for $50 and Au will unlock it by just resetting for phone on iTunes but what about the US? Also, I heard Obama passed a bill saying it is now legal to unlock phones from 3rd parties. Would I be able to if virgin mobile doesn't unlock it for me?
Virgin mobile either way won't accept the phone on their network. Virgin Mobile Canada and Virgin Mobile USA aren't owned by the same people.
Unlocking Policy
Virgin Mobile devices are not currently subject to an unlocking policy. However, in accordance with the CTIA's "Mobile Wireless Device Unlocking Voluntary Commitment" ("Unlocking Commitment"), Virgin Mobile is creating new policies and procedures in order to provide the device software locking code to customers after certain eligibility requirements are met. Consistent with its Unlocking Commitment, Virgin Mobile will implement these new policies and procedures no later than February 11, 2015. http://www.virginmobileusa.com/unlock

- Straight Talk or Virgin Mobile USA for iPhone 5? Both have (VM on June 28th) the iPhone 5 that run in their networks. Which would be best would be the carrier for the iPhone? Both seem ok, i mean, I have Virgin Mobile right now and I just don't like data speeds could be better and in my city we should be getting LTE in the later months. Should I switch to Straight Talk or stay with VM and wait this Friday and get the iPhone?
