I want to know if it is possible to use a Samsung Galaxy Note on Virgin Mobile's network. If so how would I go about setting it up? Virgin doesn't currently offer the Note, so I can't just buy it from them. So would buying an unlocked version and calling Virgin's customer service to activate the phone on their network work?

  • Makes more sense :) Just realized by looking at Chahk's answer below, is your Galaxy Note CDMA radio based? I would have thought there'd be a CDMA based version of the Note? :o

  • @t0mm13b I don't have a Galaxy Note. I was just thinking about getting one.

Not in the USA. Virgin Mobile USA's network is CDMA, while the Galaxy Note is a GSM phone.

Virgin Mobile UK is a GSM network, so Galaxy Note will work on it. Although depending on whether the phone and the carrier use the same frequencies for 3G, you may only get 2G speeds.

  • Rumors are that because original GNote sold so well, Samsung is readying a Galaxy Note 2 for this fall. Hopefully they will release it on more carriers this time around.
