Question
Sprint is becoming to expensive to continue service with them. i'm looking to switch to virgin mobile and would like to know if it is possible to purchase unlocked sprint phones and use them with my newly found cheaper virgin mobile service. thanks, josh

Answer
If you switch to Virgin, you will need to buy a new phone. You won't be able to use a Sprint phone. If you want to stay with Sprint, you may want to consider just switching to the 450 minute plan for $39.99 which gives unlimited any mobile to any mobile. For an additional $10, you get unlimited text.
