Does virgin mobile use verizon wireless's towers?

I am considering puchaseing the virgin mobile super slice, it says that the phone is CDMA 1900 Mz and verizon uses that same frequency, i know that virgin mobile uses sprint's towers, but wouldn't it use verizon's too? I am wondering because i live in a dead zone for sprint, but i have some coverage, just wondering it would really help!!!!!

Does virgin mobile use verizon wireless's towers?
They use Sprint.
Reply:no it wouldn't work, Verizon and sprint and virgin do use some of the same frequencies but they use different encryption's on them. virgin has a contract with sprint to use there towers so sprint assigns virgins certain encryption's for virgin on there towers. they have no way of knowing what Verizon's encryption's are. The encryption's on the frequencies are for access to their networks and not for the actual audio signal.
Reply:i dont know
