Possible to use an HTC Touch Pro with Virgin or Boost (monthly prepaid)?

[vadox6466]

Here's my situation.. I'm a student attending an American university from Canada. I've wanted an HTC Touch Pro ever since it was released. However, none of the providers that require a contract offer anything that would work for me -- I'm home in Canada for 4 months out of the year, and don't want to pay for a yearly contract if i'm not going to be able to use it 1/3 of the year.

So, after going through almost all the providers, I've realized that my best option is to keep my Virgin Mobile prepaid service (or change to the new Boost unlimted one..) and just get service while I'm here in university. However, I still want the TP!

Now, I'm wondering.. is it possible to get a TP from ebay or something.. and then somehow use that with my prepaid plan from Boost or Virgin? I don't need the data plans (I'm on campus with WIFI everywhere), but would like the phone.

Any suggestions? Is this possible?

Thanks!
