HTC One M8 on Virgin Mobile?

You'll need to buy a Virgin Mobile phone to use their network, they don't allow BYOD.

Even if you could bring your own phone to Virgin Mobile, Sprint makes their other MVNOs (with a BYOD program) wait about one year after the phones release before allowing it through BYOD.

Though, if rumors are true, Sprint may be softening that policy of only allowing older phones, since it is claimed the GS5 will be coming to Virgin/Boost soon.

Sorry, I was referring to allowing newly released phones through BYOD. I edited my above post to make it more clear.

Sprint has been allowing some of their MVNOs to sell just released phones for over a year. But with the MVNOs that have a BYOD program, they limit the ability to bring your own phone until it's around a year after release.

For the HTC One M8, the only way you could use it is if Virgin Mobile sells it since VM doesn't have a BYOD program.
 
I'm also looking on getting an HTC One M8 and was wondering if it could work with Virgin Mobile in 2018. The last reply on here was from 2014 so I was wondering if it has changed since.
