I'm switching from verizon to virgin to get unlimited everything and 300 mins monthly for $25. I thought I could just get one of those $80 used droids off ebay and connect it. I called virgin 3 times to get a clear answer on which phones could be used on their service-the 1st time i was blatantly lied too, the lady told me i MUST buy a brand new phone THROUGH virgin in order to utalize the $25 a month plan as if it were a catch to the bargain. I called back again, got a different person ,who told me it could be any phone as long as it's compatable, third call, I found out that it has to be a virgin phone new/used because virgin doesn't use sims cards. Anyway, so what's a good smart/net phone I could use with virgin hopefully used for under $80? I NEED the following features:

-decent like 2MP or more photo and camcorder THAT CAN BE UPLOADED TO COMPUTER, not stuck in phone forever.

-1G or more mp3 player, hopefully with standard 1/8 inch headphone jack so don't need adapter to use headhones

-3 inch or so screen, not a small flip phone

-prefer not a touch screen as i don't like anything that fragile on me always to worry about breaking

-can run youtube

-has a GPS like for driving directions unless this is an app for any phone

I never had a smart/net phone, so please suggest anything else you think i might really want in the phone.
thank you very much
 
From what I know virgin mobile will not under any circumstances let you add a non virgin branded phone. Your best bet would be either to buy one at a store or very carefully, check that the esn isn't blocked, buy a used one online.

The only phones that I could recommend that have most of the features you want are the blackberry or the intercept they both run at around 250 maybe less if they are on sale.
 
nevermind. thanks anyway.
suprisingly, the 4 ones suggested/listed on virgin's webiste are basically all i could find used on ebay with the features i want. i originally thought these were the latest phones and i could find something older with slighly less features for a much lower price used. Just to clarify, the phone must have a virgin emblem on it for the $25 beyond talk unlimited everything 300 talk mins plan. however lg101 phone won't work but it's a very basic phone
 
Yeah, you've got it right, the older more basic phones (even though they are VM) or even ones like the xtc I believe you can't put on beyond talk, although I'm not 100% on the xtc. If you're looking for a deal on the Blackberry Radioshack has got it for 159-199 I think so that's not too bad.
