    Can I bring my own phone to join prepaid monthly plan?

    It's an unlocked phone purchased form Hong Kong.

    Details as follow:
    GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
    UMTS/HSPA 1900/2100

    Is it possible to use Virgin 3G Network?

    Hey Mimi!

    Looks good! As long as the device is unlocked you should be good to go!

    Lots of Love,
    Virgin Mobile

    it should be good... but to get a better 3G coverage, you should get a phone that has 850MHz on the 3G.

    Sorry by making a mistake.
    After clarifying by the manafacturer, my phone's details as follow:

    GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
    UMTS/HSPA 900/2100 (NOT 1900)!!

    Can it still work with virgin network?
    Or it only work with 2G network (talk & text)?
    Is it possible to use 2G data with slower speeds?

    And, don't buy phones from outside of North America, unless you absolutely, positively know what you're doing.
