Question 1

Do you have to buy a sim card separately for this? There was something in the sim card slot but it isnt reading a sim card and it seems like a piece of cardboard over a plastic thing?

Accepted Answer

The Virgin Mobile sim comes pre-installed.  It sits in the gray plastic holder with the gold contacts visible and the cut-off corner matching the one on the holder.  The holder only truly fits in the sim slot one way, but it goes in 95% of the way when upside down.  The slot cover only fits when the sim holder is in all the way.

Question 2

Can anyone verify if the phone will operate with no sim card installed? I understand I will not be able to make phone calls or access data outside of a WIFI signal. I know some phones do not like to operate with the sim installed. thank you.

Accepted Answer

It operates w/o a sim card until it's full. Which wont take long.

Question 3

I know Virgin in the U.S. is Sprint.

Is this phone unlocked?

Does this have a SIM card/socket?

Can I put my T-Mobile SIM into it and have it work?

Accepted Answer

I don't know about T-Mobile but I know for sure this is NOT an unlocked phone because Virgin Mobile can't be used on unlocked phones.

Question 4

Does this come with a charger or anything else, or is it just the phone?

Accepted Answer

It comes with a charger and a protective screen.
