About this START × Virgin unlock
Virgin locks devices to its network when sold on contract or financed. Unlocking your START is straightforward once your account meets Virgin's eligibility criteria — typically the device must be paid off and not reported lost or stolen.
DeviceDecoded uses the manufacturer's official unlock channel. We submit your START's IMEI directly, and once approved, the device is permanently whitelisted. The unlock survives factory resets, OS updates, and SIM swaps.

FAQ — START on Virgin
- Can Virgin block this unlock?
- No. Once your START's IMEI is whitelisted on the manufacturer's database, Virgin cannot reverse it.
- Will my START stay unlocked after a factory reset?
- Yes. The unlock is permanent at the factory level — it persists through factory resets, OS updates, and SIM changes.
- Do I need my Virgin account credentials?
- No. We unlock by IMEI alone. You don't need to provide your Virgin username, PIN, or account number.
- What if my START is still on a Virgin payment plan?
- It depends on the device's status. Start with the eligibility check at our unlock checkout — that page explains how the two-stage payment works before you commit.
