Just wondering... When people talk about unlockers, are they referring
specifically to
GSM phones? I understand that techniques for unlocking
GSM phones are pretty much an open secret. What about the locks on
CDMA
phones, such as used by Sprint PCS? I understand that these codes are
essentially random numbers, not derived from the
ESN by any algorithm,
and only a lookup in the appropriate database will give the code. I am
not looking for
CDMA cracking tools; just curious if they exist.
