Now regarding Virgin's CDMA coverage....

Unless things have changed since when I was a user, it only works on the Sprint towers. No roaming on other CDMA's. That was one of the major reasons for dumping them. But like I said, it could have changed.
Thank you! Yeah, Virgin is actually an MVNO (mobile virtual network operator) which means that while they're their own company and operate their billing and other things, they run on someone else's network, and that someone is Sprint. They do not have a license to run on Verizon or any other carrier. I forgot what their roaming arrangements are; I think they are a different story.
