Question
WILL THIS PHONE WORK ON VIRGIN MOBILE ASSURANCE PAY LOW PLAN LG RUMOR RN510

Answer
I wasn't able to find any details on a Rumor RN510. Is that the correct model number? If the device is a CDMA device and works today on the Sprint or Verizon network, then theoretically, it will work on Virgin. That means that either Virgin would agree to flash it to Virgin or if not, then it could be flashed to Virgin. If you have someone flash it and Virgin doesn't really support it, then it won't necessarily flash fully and there may be features that you wont' be able to use properly. It would be my advice to only use a phone that you purchase from Virgin versus trying to make a phone work on their network. In the US, it is much better to do this because the carriers warranty the phones, etc. I hope this helps.
