Virgin Mobile Limitations

Virgin Mobile was known for locking down their CDMA feature phones by a great margin, and the M2000 is no exception to this. The microUSB port is only used for charging, and when connected to a computer, nothing happens. Reportedly there's a dial code to re-enable the USB port for data operations, but such code is not yet known.
