Switch to a used Galaxy SIII?

I have been a VM customer for about 10 years and recently bought a HTC Desire 510 that has horrible memory issues. There doesn't appear to be many choices from VM to purchase right now but I do see used Virgin Mobile Galaxy SIII 16gb phones for sale for about $100. I don't need the latest or best phone, just a good one that I'm not going to have constant memory issues with.

Has anyone had a SIII and would they recommend it? Also has anyone transferred their account from one VM phone to another?

Well, I can't really comment on VM, but I can say from personal experience that the Samsung S3 served me very well when I had mine. I was, and still am, on Verizon, but the S3 was very reliable. :)

So, yeah, I'd recommend it:)
 
Two people in my family are using an S3 on Virgin Mobile. One has been replaced on warranty due to a charging port issue, but other than that, there have been no troubles.

I'd suggest using a site like eBay or Amazon in order to have their consumer protection in buying a phone. Swapping phones is super easy through your account online - from a desktop rather than mobile if possible.
