I've heard it repeated that the Nexus 4 can be used with T-Mobile prepaid, but can it be used with Virgin Mobile USA? VM looks to be $35/month rather than the $50/month that T-Mobile costs.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoVirgin (Sprint) is CDMA; impossible.
- akurilin 14y agoAlso as far as I know VM doesn't let you "bring your own phone". You can supposedly fake a serial number (or whatever identifier they use) of another phone that you purchased, but that's unadvisable. I hear that Simple Mobile and Straight Talk are valid options.
- endemic 14y agoVirgin Mobile's rates are attractive, but unfortunately they're a Sprint subsidiary, and as such use CDMA. Nexus 4 is GSM, so your best bet is StraightTalk, T-Mobile, or other inexpensive prepaid GSM carriers. As others have said, check out T-Mobile's web-only $30/month option. It's about as close as you can get to what we've all been wanting: a data-only plan.
