I would assume so.

Sorry the phone has to be activated to use the hotspot and Virgin Mobile only gives you 2 gigs of 30 day hotspot for 10.00. If you use it up before the 30 days are up you will have to deactivate the 30 day plan and restart it all over again this can be a pain. They do offer temporary plans 0 pl3.00 for the day and 5.00 1 gig I don't think any prepaid phone companies offer total unlimited hotspot plans.

I believe that the phone would still need to be activated on the Virgin network
