What other phones will a Virgin sim fit

chillerman

Hi. Hope that someone can help me. Youngest daughter wants a Samsung E370 for her birthday. She is at the mo on the Virgin 300 + 300 contract through the old N.T.L. network. Can someone tell me which is the cheapest one I can buy and put her sim card into. Failing this, is it possible to unlock these phones yourself easily? Thanks for any advise.

Virgin use the T-Mobile network, so Virgin sims will work on T-Mobile and vice versa, locked or not.

Thanks for the advise. Now does any body know where I might be able to get the cheapest E370?

WRONG!!!

A Fresh SIM or a Virgin SIM will work in a locked T-Mobile phone, though not the other way around without unlocking.

Well I have done it both ways round with 3 different phones, so it does work

It depends on whether the phone is locked to the network and/or virtual network. In most cases they are interchangeable.
