    Sprint Rumor 2 for use on Virgin Mobile

    I tried searching the forums and could not find the answer to my question. I have a Sprint Rumor 2, that I want to use on the Virgin Mobile Network. Is this possible? Is there a a specific firmware or flash program that I need to use to accomplish this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated, I currently am using the Kyocera ($9.99) and it just isn't cutting it. Thanks

    At this time it is not possible to activate anything except a Virgin Mobile phone on Virgin Mobile.

    Since Sprint now owns VM, it is possible this will change at some point, though I couldn't say for sure or when.

    its possible but it isn't something we can discuss on these forums because technically, its illegal.
