i want a phone and virgin mobile phones look cheaper i want to know if i could buya virgin phone and connect it to metroPCS?
The simple answer is no. The longer answer is maybe, but it will be a lot of work and maybe not worth it. VM has the Jax , which is a trimode phone. One of the few that can be used anywhere on Metro's network. The rest of VM's phones are older and even if they could be flashed to Metro, might not work in Metro's newest trimode areas. (Even phones made especially for Metro that are older won't work in trimode areas). The problem with VM is that they really lock their phones down. They disable usb/bluetooth and data a lot of times in order to prevent flashing to another network. And their phones are so cheap, all the time, energy and money flashing a VM phone often isn't worth it for a flashing pro to bother. It is easier, cheaper and faster to flash a Verizon or Sprint phone to Metro then it is any VM phone. Most Metro PCS flashers won't do Virgin Mobiles, especially the newer ones (like the trimode Jax). If you look on your local Craigslist, find an independent Metro flasher/dealer , call them up and ask if they can do VM phones. Make sure he is a dealer, because even if he can flash it, if he isn't a dealer, he won't be able to get it on the network making the flash useless. Don't bother with Metro PCS corporate or other stores. Most of the time they will not even bother with VM phones. Good luck if you are willing to undertake this challenging situation.
In the US, no. T-Mobile is GSM, Virgin US is not.
i have been browsing online more than four hours today seeking the answers to the same question, but I haven't found a more interesting discussion like this. it is pretty worth enough for me.
Sorry, not sure about this
