If you are single, there is no better plan than Virgin Mobile. They offer unlimited data/text with some abundant voice minutes for $45 and below, and this is on Sprint’s 4G network. For families, it quickly adds up and there may be better offerings, but even a couple would likely come out way ahead with Virgin.
I like Virgin… I had it when I went to the UK…
Very nice.
It is not unsubsidized, it is contract-free iPhones. Those are different things.
You may be splitting hairs here. For a consumer, there is no difference. You can buy a 5s from Virgin for $540 and never activate it on their network. All iPhones have a SIM slot these days, so you could use that $540 phone on AT&T of T-Mobile.
I have read that Virgin Mobile iPhones are locked.
No, you cannot use it on ATT or TMo. Maybe someday the Gevey Sim people will work on it, but right now, no.
Is the Virgin iPhone a CDMA/GSM phone just like Verizon? I just bought a Verizon iPhone 5S and opened an ATT account and I get LTE service as I expected. Surprised the ATT guy. But I paid full price from Apple. I have 14 days to return it to Apple and get a Virgin iPhone instead. Will that be a good or bad move?
AFAIK, it is, but it isn’t unlocked to use GSM in the U.S. I believe it can be unlocked to use it internationally.
I bought my wife an iPhone 5 on VirginMobile. The LTE performance where Sprint has LTE is very very good. The 3g performance was not, like on the 4s I bought her before for VM.
