Been searching all over the internet and on howard forums but cant find a straight answer. I got a kyocera slider v5 from my friend and I have Tmobile. On wikipedia it says Virgin Mobile uses the Tmobile network in the US. I've unlocked a phone before from cingular to tmobile but I'm getting the idea that the process is different? The phone doesnt have SIM cards?

If it says that it's wrong. Virgin Mobile runs on CDMA (Verizon, Sprint, etc.)

so there is no way for me to use tmobile on that phone?

That is correct. There is NO WAY for your slider v5 to work on Tmobile, as it is a cdma phone. Tmobile is a GSM network, and therefore only gsm phones can be used on thier network, because they require sim cards. And from what I know, Virgin mobile doe's NOT run off of Tmobile's network... Instead they run off of Sprint's network.
