Virgin Mobile : op?rateur t?l?phones portables, forfaits mobiles - Virgin Mobile
they definately cover there but im almost certain whatever network they use wont be compatible with the V
different phones are released in different countries becuase the phones have certain radios that only work with certain networks.
of course, you could sell the V and get a french virgin mobile phone, looks like they have a crazy selection available over there. lucky you
*edit, as long as all your contacts, pics, emails, whatever are stored with your Google account, switching to another android phone will be a no hassle issue. just sign in and all your stuff comes back. you should probably start setting it up to back up now if you want to use that option
