When I purchased I just switch phones since I was already VM customer and did keep same number. I have in past switch from trac phone to VM and kept number, call VM( or contact them threw FB ) and ask, I believe you can do it

Virgin Mobile phones don't use SIM cards. They are specifically made for VM and cannot be used with other companies (unless perhaps, one is a geek-tech with uber skillz).

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 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.

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!

My phone is from Virgin & it's fine. I'm pretty sure the hardware it all the same.

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!

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.

I don't know, I use it with the monthly pay as you go plan. You would probably have to call Virgin Mobile and ask them.

I bought the phone through amazon and activated it through the phone for virgin mobile. It helps you do the set up just like any other virgin mobile phone.

You would have to contact your service provider...and they will nedd the number under the battery.... But you can usually only do that if you are using the same provider. I dont think you can switch carriers can keep the same number.But I could be wrong. Anycase you would have to contact your service provider....

I set it up with Virgin Mobile as soon as I got it with no problem. I don't know if you can use it with any other carrier.

I dont think so if it says VIRGIN MOBILE on it. They have the serial numbers to activate.I have had FIVE of these. Had a lot of trouble with the first 3, touch screen stopped working on all. The last two replacements I received lasted about a year of tough use. Its not a " Smart Phone", its got web browsing but its bare bones. You won't be streaming video with this one.

Virgin Mobile operates on the Sprint network (your voicemail will even announce itself as sprint) but the phone sold by Sprint and Virgin Mobile are not interchangeable.

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's a GSM based phone, T-Mobile, A T & T and many smaller companies. Just call Virgin mobile and ask them. If they're on a GSM network it'll work exceedingly well.
