iphone 3gs on virgin mobile

[jeffreythefrog]

after the announcement about virgin mobile carrying the iphone 4 and 4s i was wondering if an unlocked 3gs will work as well(since it is cheaper to buy). if so how could i do this

Nope, virgin is CDMA and 3GS is GSM so it won't be compatible unfortunately

Can you use a GSM only phone on a CDMA network?
There's your answer.

People should use common sense, Virgin Mobile isnt going to let you have a $35 iPhone plan without buying there overpriced Virgin Mobile iPhone.

Everyone wants to jump ship, but just wait they will raise there prices as they have done before, there starting to push everyone off that $25 Plan.

What's an 'overpriced Virgin Mobile iPhone'? It's just the unlocked price for the iPhone. And the plan pricing is actually decreasing. If you signup for Auto Pay you'll get $5 off of whatever Beyond Talk plan you pick. So you can own an iPhone 4s with service for $30 a month.

Pays to be naive and dis-informed, huh?
