A virgin sim card will work in a TMOBILE locked phone but a TMOBILE sim card will not work in a virgin locked phone.Dont ask me why but thats the way it is.I am on the virgin network and have recently bought a tmobile locked phone and you just have to put the sim in for it to work.But on an old virgin locked phone i have a tmobile sim doesnt work without getting the phone umlocked to any network.I hope I have made it clear

Sure, compatible, at worst you will need the Virgin Phone unlocked but you can get that done in most any highstreet. Virgin buys airtime from TMobile, they aren't owned by TMobile
And especially for Benny, well Duh!! The rest of us worked out that Yahoo mix the UK and US forums. How do we know? So many stupid answers like yours

You'll have to get your new phone unlocked so that it is able to take any kind of sim card.

Virgin Mobile doesn't even use sim card...
Only GSM carrier use sim card like T-Mobile and AT&T.
Virgin Mobile is a CDMA network which don't use sim card.
Edit: And where the heck did you get Virgin Mobile is own by T-Mobile?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Virgin Mobile is a company it use Sprint network to provide service.
**Edit: Lets put a way that you can UNDERSTAND:
Virgin Mobile is NOT own by T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile is company.
Virgin Mobile phone doesn't use any sim card! That mean you can not use your T-Mobile sim card on Virgin Mobile phone.
*****Edit: THEN WHY THE HECK DID YOU POST IN YAHOO ANSWER "USA"?!?! GO POST IN YAHOO ANSWER UK!
How the heck do we suppose to know those UK stuff....
-_-''
************Edit: Sorry didn't mean to be rude, "excuse me..."
Merry Christmas! [=
*************************Edit: I pretty sure I in the US section alright, beside why in the world will I care about UK ?
