IPhone on Virgin Mobile
Hey,
Guess what the wife wants an IPhone and were on Virgin Mobile.
After calling up last week I was told its unlikely due to something to do with TMobile and Apple, blah blah not sure,
So my question is:-
If I buy an Iphone and have it unlocked are there any quirks or things not to do, does it work properly as it should etc,
Found this site which seems to offer everything you need,
Just wondered if anyone has had some success with this.
Cheers,

Re: IPhone on Virgin Mobile
Great,
And is anything affected with your contract, she has the unlt data, would that still work as normal?

Re: IPhone on Virgin Mobile
Yup that's fine. Just remember 'unlimited' is 1gb. Mind you I never used any where near that much in a month but it is worth remembering.

Tell her to look at the HTC Desire instead, it's better than the iphone.

Re: IPhone on Virgin Mobile
If you are on a contract with Tmobile and tell em you are leaving because you want an Iphone you may well get offered one.

Re: IPhone on Virgin Mobile
Well if you do manage to get a HTC Desire, it's not bad either. That's what I've got on my VM contract.

Re: IPhone on Virgin Mobile
As far as coverage is concerned none of the VM (tmobile network) phones I have suffer from lack of signal
