Can I buy this phone sprint HTC Evo 4G and activate on my Virgin mobile account? Like If I buy used sprint phone and want to activate it on my Virgin mobile website...will everything be okay? I know Virgin Mobile is under sprint service.

Any suggestions if is okay if I buy the phone ?
 
While they are the same hardware, the software is different, even if you flashed the Virgin software you still couldn't use it though, they only allow their own phones onto the network, which is determined by the phones meid being in the system.

Try Voyager Mobile. They use Sprint coverage and they are now accepting used sprint phones for activation. You have to call them to check your MEID for compatability. They have unlimited everything for $39.

No, the evo 4g isn't even the same phone to the evo v 4g that would be the evo 3d.

The EVO 4g came before the evo 3d/evo v 4g.

Out of curiosity I called twice on different days and gave them the MEID for my HTC EVO V 4G and both times they said it would work on their network. I not brave enough at this point to try it though in case I lose service. lol. I had them search my work address for 4G coverage because I don't currently have it and they said excellent coverage. Yes, they could have lied, but remember in today society we have the power to make companies do what they put in print. I get a lot of discounts that way. You know, false advertisement.
 
They would be getting the WiMAX service from the same towers as Virgin, if you don't currently have it you certainly won't just by switching carriers. Also, when I called they said that they would only guarantee that Sprint phones will work. :rolleyes:

Don't think so, it's not the software or branding on the phone that ensures success, it's the meid and that's tied to Virgin.
