...keep and use the same phone. Does the phone have to be unlocked. Its just i am a big texter, and vm only has $5 for 100 msgs as there highest offer. Where bell has $10 for 2500 msgs. I want to use my same phone. Since Virgin mobile runs off of, and partly owned my the bell mobility network, I should be able to use the same phone, CDMA moto v3c razr phone. Thanks in advance.
