From 9to5Toys.com:
Virgin Mobile is knocking another 10% off their marked down iPhones yielding the lowest prices we’ve ever seen on the unsubsidized phones.
- iPhone 5s is $494.99/584.99/674.99 for the 16/32/64GB.
- iPhone 5c is $404.99/494.99 for 16/32GB.
- Note you can also pick up an iPhone 4 for $159.99 shipped.
Note Apple charges $650 for an unlocked iPhone 5s and $550 for an iPhone 5c so savings is around $150/iPhone. While the iPhones are unsubsidized, Virgin does offer extremely competitive plans on the Sprint 4G LTE network starting at $30/month for unlimited text/data.

I’m almost tempted to buy one of these iPhone 5s models instead of an iPod Touch. That pretty decent pricing for a 64-bit smartphone and Touch ID.
Is this phone unlocked and for 495$ you could buy and use on any network?
As someone posted on Apple Discussions, “As I’ve stated, Virgin Mobile, in the US does not unlock iPhones, nor are there any unlocked iPhones available from them. A Virgin Mobile iPhone, in the US, can only be used/activated on Virgin Mobile’s network.”
and what about using it in other country? Will it work? O it will be locked just for using with Virgin Mobile even outside US?
they are giving unlocked phone @494.99$ .we can use this phone in india with indian sim card…
have u try it…is it really working?..i need a confirmation on that since i’m planning to buy an iphone 5s from virgin mobile..
