Hey all,

Just a quick question. Is it possible for me to use my iSIM sim in a Virgin
prepaid Sony Ericsson T630, straight out of the box, without having to pay
money in order to unlock the phone from the Virgin network? I know that it
is possible to use iSIM in Optus-locked phones, so I was wondering if it
would be possible to use an iSIM in Virgin-locked phones, since the both use
the Optus network.

If anyone has any experience with this and can help me out with an answer,
then that would be great =)

Thanks in advance,
Eminent

Yes, you can use the iSIM sim, but you won't be able to use the phone
overseas, as it will be locked to the Optus network. To use the phone
overseas, you'll have to buy $80 worth of phone calls from Virgin to unlock
the phone.
