Default Could I use my AT&T sim card in a Virgin Mobile cell phone?
I currently have AT&T in the United States but I was looking at a Canadian Virgin Mobile (NYSE: VM) phone. I know Virgin Mobile takes sim cards in Canada but would I be able to use my current AT&T sim card with the V.M. phone? Or would I have to unlock it and such?

I think canada used the EURO GSM bandwidth and AT&T works on the US GSM bandwidth so even if the phone is unlocked you won't be able to make it work since the VM phone does not support the US GSM bandwidth.
