Does the phone have to be on the virgin mobile plan or can I put it on the plan i already have?

I believe it has to be on Virgin Mobile. My daughter had a phone exactly like this, but it was a Verizon phone. I could not find an unlock code for that model, so I purchased one that was on the Virgin Mobile network.

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

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you have a service other than Virgin, then I don't think this phone will work for you, but if you have Virgin, then you should able to switch your current phone for this one.

I have it on Assurance Wireless. Works fantastic!! If you unlock it, you may be able to use it on other carriers.

Can be used on any compatible plan. Call carrier to verify. We are using a Verizon subsidary carrier.

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

Yes. I bought this phone last November and I have Virgin Mobile. It'll work on any Virgin Mobile plan.

Virgin AFAIK is CDMA, but this is a GSM phone. So, no... it would not work.

Most lielikely not. You need a unlocked phone. This one is locked to virgin mobile.

It's a virgin mobile phone not unlocked. Unless assurance has a deal with them i don't think so. But call assurance and make sure any phone you buy is compatible or it'll be a waste of $. Good luck

It is a virgin mobile just as if you bought it from the virgin web page. Not unlocked and the access to the sim card is blocked. You can't use this phone with any other provider or in another country.

I spoke with Verizon and they said that it is best that you call Virgin mobile to ask. Tell them that the phone was purchased through the Verizon Edge plan to confirm compatibility.

It is Virgin Mobile ready -- not sure what you mean by unlocked. I ordered the phone, then activated it myself at no charge. You cannot simply take your existing SIM card from another phone and put it in this one, if that's what you're asking. I lost my previous $25 plan by switching to this phone; that's the one way Virgin gets you ... but their prices are so good, that now paying $35 for the same plan but with this better phone (which made a HUGE difference in Internet access and 4G coverage) is still a great deal.

If you have a Virgin Mobile account just call their customer service. They will walk you through it. Just make sure this phone is not on the Canadian Virgin Mobile network. I'm not positive but I think it will not work.

This phone comes packaged for virgin mobile. It also does not have a sim card like some carriers do. If you do not need a sim card and would like to switch I would contact both virgin mobile and your phone company prior to purchasing to see if it would be compatable.

Hi Suzette,Actually no this will not work with Virgin. You need a Virgin specific phone.

Absolutely. You just have to buy a virgin mobile supported phone. This will come with the VM app, when you go to VM.com click "Switch phone", type in the license #, and BOOM! Everything will be transported quite quickly. Its....its like magic!

Hello, that is a good question. Virgin Mobile considers this phone a Smartphone and the minimum plan you can get under any Smartphone is the $35.00 plan which is 300 minutes and unlimited text and web. I still have this phone. If you are referring to Safelink or any other Government phone plans, they will not allow any Smartphone to be activated with government minutes. My friend used an old Virgin Mobile slider phone before for Safelink but she always had problems getting her monthly minutes on that phone so she got rid of it. Hope this answers your question.

I don't think you will be able to keep the $25 plan if you switch phones. I'd check with virgin mobile to be sure.
