In short I dont think so, Verizon does not use the SIM card style of phones, and Verizon does. So the phones are not compatible with the different networks. AT&T and T-Mobile use SIM cards so you may be able to use them, but I would contact your chosen provider and ask them if, "if you give them the EIN of the phone, if they can re-provision it?"

Hope this Helps!!

Kyocera

Go to this link at Kyocera, select your carrier (Virgin Mobile) and then your phone (Rise C5155/C5156) from the drop down lists and a list of PDF manuals will appear. Best of luck! Kyocera Phones Support Page

I have an iphone 4 originated by Sprint. Where i live there is no Sprint towers. Straight talk activated the phone but it only will use a Sprint tower therefore I can't use it. ...I would have to drive 35...

Sprint phones

  • CDMA carrier
  • Uses 800MHz and 1900MHz spectrums primarily (bands 26 and 25), and 2.5 GHz for Sprint Spark (band 41)
  • Does allow devices to be used on selected Sprint resellers such as Ting
  • Phones will not work with Verizon
  • LTE devices and iPhones may work with GSM networks, although service possibly limited
  • Still not an 'unlock friendly' carrier
Sprint has recently launched a 'Bring Your Own Device' campaign for selected MVNOs (smaller wireless providers who operate on its network).
This means that some (not all) Sprint devices will be able to be used on either Ting or Boost Mobile (unfortunately, Sprint's prepaid MVNO, Virgin Mobile, doesn't accept phones from any other carrier - you'll have to buy a Virgin Mobile handset to sign up for service).
Outside of carriers on the Sprint network, taking your Sprint phone to Verizon Wireless is more or less impossible. We've heard of people trying, but so far no success stories.
If you wish to take a Sprint device to T-Mobile or AT&T, you may be able to do so with LTE-capable devices and Apple iPhones...but there are no guarantees. Some handsets sold by Sprint are marked as 'global' phones, meaning they are also have room for a SIM card despite running on Sprint's CDMA network.
As confusing as it is, if you can get your Sprint phone unlocked, there is a chance you can have it activated for service on a GSM network - but you'll need to speak with your new carrier and ask whether they'll accept the make and model of your handset.
Even if you do get the all-clear, getting your phone unlocked is the tricky part. While Sprint are happy to unlock phones for international use (provided the device is paid off and the customer's account is in good standing), the company isn't as enthusiastic about unlocking devices when customers wish to take them to another carrier. There's more info about the unlocking process - and what a headache it can be - here.
And if you do manage to get your Sprint phone unlocked and find a carrier that agrees to let you bring it on to their network, it's unlikely that the phone will work in quite the same way as it did on Sprint, due to the differences in carrier networks we've discussed above.

My virgin mobile xtc has a white screen what can i

just take out the battery and put it back in (do not put the cover back on) then let it turn white then wait like 10 seconds then push end 2 or three times (to make sure anything that may pop up when you regularly turn on your phone is gone) then hold the end button (as if you were turning your phone off) then let go of the off button then pull the keyboard out then use ur hands to press the battery in tight (the battery should already be in the phone at this time but just press down like you really want the battery to be in place)

How do I unlock/flash my virgin mobile kyocera x-tc for free?

You cant unlock / flash your XTC. Cool phone, but only works on CDMA network, not on the iDen network like Boost phones. If you want to use Boost phone service, you'll have to select one of the 1/2 dozen boost mobile phones.
