Which phone would you like to buy ? If you want to use Virgin ( GSM network ) locked phone, you need to unlock it to use T-mobile servcie . For that, you can get unlock code from nay of the online vendors like Simpleunlocking.com to unlock your phone . After unlcoking your phone, you can use it with any other GSM carriers internationally .
