This can and should be used by you to post updated deal information.
Be sure to read this because it may contain answers to your questions!

Info: Some Virginmobile phones cannot be unlocked to be used with other carriers.

The LG Optimus Slider Prepaid Smartphone (and Venture) allows you to remain on the $25/mo grandfathered plan.
(You must already have the $25/mo grandfathered plan. Does not apply to new activations or those already on a $35/mo and up plan)

For those wondering, these are CDMA phones. They won't work on GSM networks like AT&T, T-Mobile, or most companies abroad.

Alternate ROMs/Firmware for Venture

There is a great Venture ROM on androidforums.com done by "Curtis1973". He basically did a barebones ICS-themed ROM that apparently removes all of the "bloat" (to free up a lot of internal storage), and also reportedly improves battery life a bit. In general, there is a lot of good Venture activity & discussion in this forum.
Alternate ROM [androidforums.com]

Thanks for that update. Also to root this phone google "poot root vm venture"

here is the forum with a few roms and discussions for the venture http://androidforums.com/venture-...ings-root/

nope. sprint maintains a device white list. your virgin mobile phone wont be on it and they will not activate.

keeping as a backup! too cheap to pass up.

if you think about it, even the goodies are worth it. quality USB cable/USB charger, 2GB SD card, MP3/youtube player. free shipping?

Download GrooveIP or Talkatone and use this as a free wifi phone for the house

And get a Bluetooth ODB2 dongle for your car and use Torque to monitor your car.
Download NavFree USA and use it as a GPS.

I need to find a GSM phone like this that I can use for international travel.

When you say "like this" what exactly are you looking for?

Android?
Keyboard?
Super cheap?

I can suggest some phones for world travel, but you need to be specific about the features you want.
