will my phone work with virgin mobile? iphone 6s plus 1634. i think it will work since the 1634 works on any carrier. but a couple months ago i switched to sprints free unlimited plan and it didn't work properly. apple replaced my phone twice but it didn't work, so its not the phones problem. i think it had something to do to it being the free unlimited plan. but will it work with virgin mobile? does anyone have a 6s plus 1634 on virgin mobile and can confirm it works. thanks
 
Aside from it being able to technically support a particular network/carrier, the phone needs to be unlocked as well, and allowed on the particular carrier as some have some requirements/restrictions I believe.

The only thing I can tell you and which you may not be aware of is this: Virign Mobile is a brand owned by Sprint. Therefore the network will be Sprint's network.

And you said it wasn't working on Sprint…

Virgin mobile says it is supposed to work and the phone is unlocked

i am aware of that but apple says it is supposed to work and virgin mobile says the same. i think it didn't work at sprint because it was free unlimited but i'm not sure
