Probably not. Different carriers. Usually phones are locked to the carrier that they come from. Virgin Mobile will only work with Virgin Mobile SIMs & same applies to any other carrier. If you could find an unlocked phone then it would not be a problem at all to do this.
I was in the same situation as you.
And my worked out, but
I have T-mobile and I bought a prepaid t-mobile phone.
It will only work if you buy a prepaid
att phone.
Most likley if you buy a virgin mobile it wontwork.
hope i helped
i dont think that it would work because its like different companies

Actually the answer is NO. The reason is that Network providers use a SIM locking capability to restrict the use of these phones to specific countries and/or other network providers. As an example, phones can be locked to accept only SIM cards from Network/ Service providers (e.g. AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile, Vodafone, etc.).
