    Hi all,

    I have a Nokia 3595 from Cingular (which doesn't offer service in my
    area) that I'd like to use with Virgin mobil. I unlocked the phone so
    that any SIM card will work in it.

    So what do I need to do next to get this phone working?

    Thanks
    Andy

    But a CDMA phone.

    Your 3595 is a GSM phone, which is incompatible with the CDMA network
    (Sprint's) that Virgin Mobile uses in the US.

    Thanks for all the responses... I thought Virgin was GSM. Its a
    shame, I wish I could switch providers and not have to get a new phone
    everytime.

    Virgin UK is GSM, and operates as a virtual network using T-Mobile's
    infrastructure. Virgin US is CDMA ... probably because, at the time they
    were formed, there wasn't much GSM network space to piggyback on.
