So Virgin Mobile prepaid is some kind of plan after all? I suppose I can't just buy this phone at $94.95 and use it in Vietnam with a GSM SIM card

All Virgin Mobile phones are locked to VM's service area. These are CDMA phones, and as such have no SIM card or slot.

Yeah but note its a PREPAID Phone, if u have a contract already, you won't be able to use this phone. mistake I made haha

It's not a prepaid phone. Is UNLOCKED- which means that this phone can be used as a replacemant phone for under contract, or as a prepaid phone. IN bouth cases you will need the SIM card : An used sim card if you do have previous contract or a New sim card that you dont have one, and you can buy for $10 prepaid near you. Its a good mobile but it does not come with a sim card.

The phone I had just worked with virgin mobile. It'll probably work there if virgin mobile is available there but contact the seller just to make sure

Virgin has been raising and lowering the price of this phone so often that it's difficult for other retailers to keep up. In this situation your best bet would be Best Buy, RS or Target who all offer price matching. And Virgin only offered that price from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, it's currently at $200 on their site and might go back up to the usual price of $240 at anytime.

As far as I know there is $40 plan pre loaded with some sim. I am not sure why the review said so.

You'll have to ask Virgin Mobile. I would like to do the same thing but I don't think so. If they do please let me know. I'm sorry I bought this phone because I think I am locked in for 2 yrs. I had the top up plan before and loved it because I never hardly used my phone.

it does NOT say it comes preloaded. (from how I read the info) the service has $45 plans. I would avoid buying sim cards from places other than the actual company (telcel) . and telcel is worth avoiding for other reasons.

I bought this phone an it broke within 8 months , Virgin Mobile gave Me back a refurbished unit . Yeah Im on that plan too for $25 a month. As long as You stay on it , You will be billed $25 , but if You go to the $40 unlimited , and change Your mind a month or 2 years , You wont be able to use that plan again and will be charged $35 a month .

It's prepaid. You pay per month but you gotta buy a plan. You can pay for the plan at a 3rd party distributor with cash

I use virgin mobile. You'll have to check their plans on their website. It varies depending on how much data you require.

I've transferred numbers about a half-dozen times between phones on Virgin Mobile and it's very easy on their website. Just swapped my son's phone about two weeks ago, and the new phone was up and running within 10 minutes. This was moving from an older phone that was grandfathered in at $25/month to the newer phone at $35/month. It'll ask you to confirm that you're moving to a new pricing plan. But I did everything online and, as I said, it was 10 minutes and we were making test calls and text on the new phone.

If it's on the Virgin Mobile network you don't need a sim card. I have used it as a wifi only devicce when I couldn't pay my bill.

No. Virgin Mobile phones are not unlocked. They are for use only with Virgin Mobile.
