Virgin/T-mobile
My son tells me that I can put my T-mobile Pay & Go sim into a Virgin phone and it will work without being unlocked. Can anyone confirm this?

Should do they both use the same network. Virginuses the T-Mobile network.

Not always. A virgin sim will work in a T-Mobile phone but a T-Mobile sim wont always work in some virgin phones,

From what I've been told, Virgin will have full access to the merged network from April.

As the current state of play, yes they will be able to use the Orange/T-Mobile networks BUT you won't all of a sudden be able to put your Virgin SIM Card into an Orange Handset..
Although I doubt this, I don't think they will be removing the SIM locks anytime soon to allow this either. |

I remember being told years ago that all Virgin phones costing over £100 come unlocked.
I don't know if that's still the case. |
