Do virgin mobile UK brand their phones?

[Matt]

and also do tesco mobile, because im looking a w880i and the only way i can get them cheap is on virgin and tesco, £79.99, so i can unlock it and it would be normal and turning it on would be "sony ericsson" and not "tesco mobile" or "virgin"

Thanks
Gina F: I dont care what people think of me for what i buy, i wanted to buy a cheap w880i for £80 quid and unlock it, because i want to go to o2 and dont want the virigin mobile or tesco branding.
Apple: yeah i rang my mate there he had a tesco mobile phone and it isnt branded, so ill be goin with tesco, but get it unlocked

thanks

I live in Canada, and yes, my virgin phone is branded.
It's a samsung, and on the bottom there is a little virgin symbol that cannot be taken off.

The way my O2 phone was branded was in such a way that it could be taken off, it was more of a sticker though it really didnt look like a sticker.

I think virgin do brand their phones, not sure about tesco though.

So your wanting to look like you have spend a lot of money when you havent? Why hide the fact you got something at a good price? I love to find a bargain and to tell people what I managed to get on special offer.

Normally they brand their phones with their network logo somewhere on the phone, I have a Sony Ericsson W810i on O2 and it was originally on T-Mobile, but it does not come up with the network's logo - it comes up with the Sony Ericsson logo.
Virgin Mobile may have their internet service branded in the phone, but if you need O2 Active for internet, you just need to contact O2 for the settings (for the internet & MMS).
Hope this helps!
