Where can I buy an old phone booth?

If i buy a plan with virgin mobile do i have to buy the phone from them or can i buy it somewhere else?

• my current phone service is being shut down and i want a better one that i can afford. so i found virgin mobile and it seems too good to be true. but if i buy a plan from virgin mobile do i have to buy the phone from them also, or can i buy the phone somewhere else for cheaper and then buy a plan for the phone from virgin mobile? the phone i want is the htc wildfire s and it is 200$ plus tax. but i found the same phone brand new for 110 with no tax on a different website and i want to be able to buy it there and then go get the 35 dollar plan and be happy that way. can anyone help me out. and on a side note from my main question can anyone tell me if the 35 dollar plan from them is like they make it out to be or is it a shitty decision that i should avoid?

• Answer:

  If its a sim only plan then you can buy your phone wherever you like, though you may need to get it unlocked for a small fee. Sim only plans give you the flexibility of not being tied down to a contract but i would think you would pay a little more for that freedom. For 35$ i would hope they're offering something amazing as by rough conversion to UK prices you could get a top end phone for about £32 a month on a contract with no payment towards the phone. Talking of phones i would be wary of the wildfire s, if your a first time android user then go ahead with it, though if your not i would consider something else, its not a bad phone don't get me wrong but for future proofness i would suggest getting something better otherwise you'll get frustrated with it at a later date when it starts slowing down.
