Sprint bought Virgin out of Virgin Mobile USA a couple of years ago, so more than using Sprint, Virgin Mobile is simply a Sprint brand.

The "Sprint" Sprint brand has better coverage than the Virgin Mobile Sprint brand, presumably because of roaming agreements with Verizon.



There's that and there's also the fact that Virgin is only allowed to use iDEN towers and not CDMA towers.


Virgin Mobile USA is CDMA.
