My partner has a very cheap Virgin Mobile pay monthly contract but her phone is useless, so I am looking to buy her a new smartphone. But I can't seem to find out what phones I can buy that will work with her Virgin SIM?

If I found any unlocked phone would it definitely work with her sim?

I also read somewhere that a T-Mobile or Orange pay as you go phone should work with a Virgin sim, anyone know if this is the case?

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated, especially from someone with personal experience.

Thanks.

Any unlocked phone will work with any SIM, as long as its the sorrect size.

Any phones that are either unlocked or locked to T-Mobile (EE) should work fine.

I have used my Virgin SIM in a phone locked to T-Mobile before with no issues.

I have heard that phones locked to Orange also work but haven't personally tested this.
