Atrix 4g on Virgin Mobile?

Anyone know if this is possible? I am trying to get my friend to let me borrow their sim to check? I bought my phone unsubsidized. Just curious if the bands match up.

i'm pretty sure Virgin is CDMA network. the Atrix is GSM.

TMO is the only other carrier the phone will work unlocked.

The phone works for Straight Talk as I will be cancelling my at&t account and just using my Straight Talk unlimited everything plan.

well that's not true. TMO uses a different 3G/"4G" frequency. So you will only get EDGE.

That's true but as far as 3G/4G speeds it's only gonna work on AT&T and I believe ROGERS in Canada who uses the same frequency as AT&T.

They may have mixed bands, but I am CURRENTLY using my SS sim card in my atrix.

Proof:

Virgin = Sprint
Sprint ≠ ATT
ATT = Atrix
Therefore, Atrix ≠ Virgin
