I found both the phones in the street at different times, tried calling a few people on my phone and on theirs, and no one would pick up. I assume after 3 months I'm safe to keep the phone.
the AX830 is a non-sim card phone, which I believe means it's CDMA. I want to unlock it to use on either verizon or US cellular, but if that's not possible, unlocking will at least allow me to sell the phone.
The other, the cu720 is a sim card phone, which I might be able to just stick a new SIM in, not sure. if that's the case, the request is of course null. The sim card is an ATT 3g card.
I'm hoping to use one phone for me, one for my lady, her's just broke, and mine is well... it's an LG UX145PK. Amazing battery life, but crappy phone. I've never had a fancy phone before. I'd like to.
Please point me in the right direction if I'm doing anything wrong... Glad to be here, excited for help.
Again, looking to unlock either or both of the phones for either US cellular, or Verizon.

Re: 2 phones, 1 providers, need to unlock for 2 other providers. AX830 and CU720
Ok, here's the brief rundown.
The AX830 is an Alltel phone. Meaning that the only service providor that can be used for that phone is Alltel.
The other one, if it is a SIM based phone, and you want to sign up using that phone with AT&T, you just need to create a cellular contract (or Pre-paid, whichever) and get a new AT&T SIM card.
If you want to use it for another SIM based Carrier (Example would be T-Mobile), then you would need to get the phone "unlocked" with a passcode.
There are a few hacks out there, and a few websites out there can can provide you the unlocking code and instructions, but those aren't free. You will have to pay for the unlocking service for the SIM phone if you want to use it with a non AT&T based SIM cell service.
The AX830 can be used for Alltel and Alltel only.
