if you can get them to work.

from what i understand, while boost and virgin are part of the ‘sprint network’, they can only utilize towers owned by sprint, while a sprint phone can use other towers and you aren’t charged any rooming.

thats just what i’ve heard, i don’t even know if cell companys even technically own towers
