If the unlocked phone is an IDEN network phone then yes. If the unlocked phone is a GSM phone, meaning it was previously locked to a GSM carrier (i.e. AT&T, T Mobile) then it would not work on Boost Mobile as this carrier uses a different technology, which is not compatible with GSM based phones.

Unlocked cellphones are GSM-based, while Boostmobile uses iDen technology. GSM and iDen are not compatible with each other eventhough these two technologies use SIM cards. So you may not be able to find an unlocked phone that would work on Boostmobile.

Can you unlock boost mobile phones to use with virgin mobile?

The answer to that question is Possibly, and No. Half of the Boost Mobile phones use IDEN radios (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network). The phones are easy to identify- they have Direct Connect (the "chirp"). These CAN NOT be used on any service but Boost Mobile, or if unlocked, Nextel (Or Telus in Canada). The other half of the Boost Mobile Phones use CDMA radios (Code Division Multiple Access), and could feasibly be unlocked to be used with Virgin Mobile. Whether Virgin Mobile would choose to allow them on the network is a whole additional answer (doubtful), but the technology technically would work.
