I want to get a back up phone incase my current one gets damaged or something. I have an LG VU on ATT but i want to get a prepaid phone for my back up if possible. Will it work if i put my ATT SIM card in a virgin mobile phone (x-tc or LG Rumor2).
Unless the phone is or can be unlocked, no. You can purchase unlock codes, but they can be expensive. Or an already unlocked phone (also expensive). My advice? Get a prepaid ATT Go-Phone. Not as expensive and some of them are nice, with a full keyboard.
the answer is no the resons is because attt is one company and virgin mobile which is a prepaid company actually runs off the sprint network much like you can not use a attt sim card in a tmobile phone unless you jail brake the phone :)
Actually the answer is NO. The reason is that Network providers use a SIM locking capability to restrict the use of these phones to specific countries and/or other network providers. As an example, phones can be locked to accept only SIM cards from Network/ Service providers (e.g. ATT Mobility, T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc.).
No. Virgin mobile phones do not have sim card slots and they do not issue sim cards.
