Could I use this on Virgin Mobile?

This phone does not work with Virgin Mobile because they (like their parent company Sprint) are a CDMA carrier, not a GSM carrier like AT&T; and T-Mobile.

The short answer is Yes. You'll have to be on one of their LTE/4G dataplans. Sprint and Verizon use the fame flavor of LTE. The 700Hz spectrum for LTE is segmented with Verizon and Sprint sharing the upper space and ATT and T-Mobile sharing the lower space. Devices are not universally compatible between the upper and lower region of the spectrum. All flavors of the Galaxy Nexus LTE are exclusive to the upper space (Sprint/Verizon) which is where Virgin also operates their LTE network they share Sprint's towers in the US. Oddly enough the newer Nexus 4 (Galaxy Nexus's replacement) has an LTE radio that's exclusive to the lower portion of the spectrum and is incompatible with Verizon/Sprint/Virgin LTE.

Sorry, I don't live in the US. What I can say is that it worked fine with two different telecoms in Brazil (none of them is Virgin Mobile, we don't have this telecom here). Wish I could help you more

Yes, you can buy it from Amazon and you can still activate it through Virgin Mobile. That's what I did.

No. At least not in the USA. Virgin Mobile USA uses a CDMA system (like Verizon and Sprint). This phone is a GSM system unit (it uses a SIM card to hold the phone number and many of the phone's qualities). The two systems are not compatible. Even if this phone were a CDMA phone, Virgin would not let you use it on their system in the USA. They do not have a "bring tour own phone' program and require that phones used on their system (which broadcasts over Sprint's system) to have Virgin's software pre-installed so that the phones must be purchased from Virgin.

Yes, it can work with Virgin Mobiles $25 dollar or other plans, BUT anytime you change your plan, you lose any money you plopped down on the previous plan. It is a GREAT phone to have!

Sorry but i really don't know because my services company is movistar, the mobile is unlocked so you find if virgin mobile work with the same frecuency.

I personally dont know. I assume that the plan is attached to your number. Before buying, call virgin mobile. Giving you head warning though, this phone gets problems after 6 months.

I'm not sure because I have Virgin Mobile. I think just go with the serial number on your phone. If this has a serial number specificity

It works fine from Virgin Mobile, however it will need an update otherwise you won't get your text messages or calls. Just anything from wifi. It took me 2 days to notice this. The customer service will walk you right through it.

This is only a Virgin Mobile phone. They do, however, use the Sprint network for service. Hope this helps. Patrick

Hi Johnny,Wish I could answer that for you. I guess you should contact Virgin Mobile and find out for sure. I use Sprint and love this phone. My first one was dropped and crashed...so was able to find this and ordered another.Good Luck!

As long as it specifies that it is a virgin mobile phone, you shoukd have no problem. You should be able to do it on their site, just have the serial numbers available. Best of luck...btw, love the phone!

I would say go to a boost mobile/ sprint store ask if service can be put on a HTC evo 4g prepaid for virgin mobile?. Just to be sure.

Yes. This is the phone I am using and I am on the Virgin Mobile $25 plan. The phone is great for calls and texting, but not much beyond that. (Pictures and Internet access aren't the best.)

Yes. I bought this specifically for a virgin mobile version of this phone and it works great.

You do have to pay Virgin Mobile if you want phone service (then you use the wi-fi). You might be able to use wi-fi without the phone service but I don't think you'd want to do that.
