I am looking to buy out of my contract because I still have a year left and I am about to incur some expenses that I couldn't have anticipated when I first signed it... Price-wise (not sure about coverage quality) Virgin Mobile will more than cut my cost in half every month so the money I will save will be worth it, but I don't want to buy a new phone because I love my Inc. Has anybody managed to flash this over to the MVNO?
I suppose I wouldn't be too disappointed with the Motorola Triumph that they have now, as long as it's been rooted, I just don't want to drop another wad of cash on another phone.
I thought you couldn't use an Inc on Virgin Mobile since the Inc is CDMA and VM is GSM?

Ah perhaps I should have specified Virgin Mobile USA, which is CDMA.

have a bad esn dinc2...perm rooted. What do I need to get it working with AT&T. Do I have to change the ESN from here..? I believe its causing conflict with my sim.

You would need the unlock code from verizon.

NVM....Called AT&T and they say sim was locked to my old phone, so I need another sim to deactivate and activate new sim to Dinc2
Hey guys, I have a Xperia Play from verizon and its the R800X model. I have the bootloader unlocked on it as well. I really want virginmobile service on this phone though, and I know that there must be a way for a verizon wireless phone to have their service. Any help is greatly appreciated
Sent from my R800x using XDA
Does virgin use a sim card? If so there is no way as I believe the cmda play has no sim card slot. Could be wrong though.
Sent from my R800i using XDA
no guarantee but the the verizon xplay is cdma if you could flash over the proper files you should be able to run virgin....dont know if this is actually been done with this phone yet tho ive seen others happen
Thats what I'm saying, both verizon and virginmobile use cdma technology for their phone communication, so I'm certain it can be done. I've heard that there are programs that you can use but an completely lost as to how to do it.

Virgin Mobile is on the Sprint network. Even if you flash the phone to Virgin Mobile/Sprint, it's based on it's internal hardware and dollars to pesos you won't get the same speeds/functions/clarity that you would using Verizon.
So it'll work, but your data speeds will probably be very slow and your calls will be most likely rubbish.
Thanks.
Also, does it have DC-HSPA+?
Yes to unlocked and yes to unbranded. I brought someones 3 upgrade and put my t-mobile sim card in.
Whats DC-HSPA+?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
It's certainly unbranded, not a bit of bloatware to be seen. Can't comment on it being unlocked though as don't have another micro sim to try it. .. hopefully it is.
Is there another way of checking if the phone is unlocked?

Up to 42mbps, Three should have it soon I think. The Galaxy S3 has it, so I'm wandering if this has it too.
I ask because I would have got the 4G one from T-mobile, but T-mobile are completely useless and I can't bare being on their network any more.
Just tested my Note 2 from 3 with my cousin's O2 sim card, pleased to report it's unlocked and worked fine
Managed to try another sim tonight and I'm happy to report the phone is unlocked
I wonder if it's just the first batch from three though that come unbranded and unlocked?
The three customer service bloke advised me that there would be a charge to unlock the phone...

I got mine from 3 and can confirm it's unlocked, unbranded, and has hspa+. Speedtest app showing downloads of 9mb down and 2.5mb up. The network symbol changes from H to H+ depending on what's available
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Excellent news, I've just recieved my upgrade from 3 today, it is awesome and to make it even better because I've been with them for 8 years and threatened to leave they give it me for £24 a month on the one plan!

I don't think it does. Just 21mb down on Samsungs site.
I asked in the shop from a rep who seemed to know just about everything about the SGNII - HSPA IS on all 3s SGNIIs and it is not likely they will be getting 4G any time soon as "the standard" - probably at least a year (not sure if that means the same as DC-HSPA+).
Mine's an unbranded (no other microsim to test unlocked) but it frequently shows the 'H+' symbol.

Hi
Does anyone know if three actually block tethering on the ultimate internet tarriff, or just hold you in breach of contract if they find you? Am currently on orange and although you're not allowed to tether it works. I rarely do but its handy on the rare occasions when my home tinternet is down, for example. Would rather not stump up the extra for the one plan since tethering will be very rare.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
As far as I know there's no way for them to tell if you're tethering or not.
First thing I did after going into the 3 store to get my Note 2 a week ago was head to a carphone warehouse nearby and cheekily ask if I could borrow a microsim from another network to see if my phone was unlocked. The girl in the shop was kind enough to lend me the vodafone sim from her personal iphone 4s (and was definitely impressed by the Note 2), and voila it turned out it was completely unlocked and unbranded!
Result!
Is there a way to get data on the LG Nitro using a gophone plan I kno they have the $65 plan now and it comes with 1gb of data but before I spend my money I wanna see if its a way I can get data enabled and working well I gotta the icon to come in by changing my apn but the guy who activated my sim says this phone can only get talk and text. Anyone here using a GoPhone plan if so are you getting data? Any help greatly appreciated
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
The guy who activated your sim is retarded. If you get the $65/month smartphone unlimited w/1gb data plan your data will certainly work on the Nitro HD since it's an AT&T phone. I personally think that's a monumental waste of money each month, but whatever, it's your decision.
Why do you say that its a waste of money is there a better plan out there

StraightTalk SIM for $45/mo with a guaranteed 2GB of Data and Unlimited Talk/Text.
It's what I'm running and I love it.
Yea but since I bought the phone off craigslist I can't get the unlock code from at&t doesn't the phone have to be unlocked to use straight talk

AT&T won't give you the unlock code, but you can still acquire the unlock code for your device for under $10 from sites like this one: http://www.cellunlocker.net/lg-unlock.php
Will it still get 4g
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
StraightTalk works on AT&T so no unlock. Mine isn't unlocked and works just fine. Also, 4G is there.
So it doesn't have to be unlocked to use a straight talk sim? That's great
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
You won't get LTE on Straight Talk, but HSPA+ is still better than nothing. To me LTE is essentially worthless when you only have 1GB.
Lte will blow thru 1gb in one day I'm just trying to make the right decision the ppl at straight talk said I had to unlock the phone 1st then here I hear something different. The guy I bought this phone from got the unlock code from at&t but it doesn't work so I'm kinda sceptical about trying one of those unlock sites but $45 sounds better than $65
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda premium
If it's an AT&T Nitro? Then you're fine, just make sure you buy the right sim for AT&T. The person you spoke to didn't give you the correct information. I took a locked AT&T Nitro I bought from Craigslist, stuck the ST Sim in and it works perfect.
I'm going to try that

Unlock codes for LG's are 99 cents on eBay with misterunlock
I'm sure there are others, but I used that service with both of mine.
Do they sell straight talk sims at wal mart or something
