So i purchased a htc one v from the virgin mobile network.
On opening the base compartment i discovered that there was no sim card area exposed. Instead this version is enclosed with plastic.
I would assume that if i open the device with a screwdriver that there will be a sim card area. however i'm not sure if it would be enabled.
Secondly,i'm not sure if the virgin mobile software would accept a sim card.
So i want to know:
1. Will the slot be there and active if i open it?
2. Will it be possible to flash the phone to a different carrier's firmware?
Plz give me a detailed response with some sources. I wanna be sure of whether or not it is possible to use this as a gsm device
