Hi all,
I've been needing to upgrade from my SS Galaxy S3 for a while now (old phone, bad battery, failing charging port). I purchased the phone through Virgin Mobile a few years back, and have had a non-contract plan through them. To my knowledge, the phone and the Virgin Mobile network is CDMA.
However, I keep finding conflicting info on whether it really is purely a CDMA or GSM network, or whether I could purchase a GSM unlocked phone along with a Virgin Mobile SIM card and activate it on their network. I find countless deals on slightly older (i.e. SS note 4, Galaxy S5, etc.) GSM unlocked phones, but have been reluctant to grab one. Hoping someone might be able to clear this up for me... Worst case scenario, I can grab an unlocked GSM and jump ship to T-Mobile probably.
