Re: Unlock a Phone


I thought that only phones on the GSM network which I though used SIM cards could be unlocked.

Re: Unlock a Phone


You cannot unlock a CDMA cellphone.

Only branded GSM cellphones can be unlocked to be used on another GSM Provider.

Re: Unlock a Phone


Just letting you know that I'm pretty sure you can unlock Verizon phones, unless its called flashing it but im pretty sure my boyfriend said unlock. i have a voyager and so does my boyfriend and their both unlocked. I am not positive if you can use it with other companies because we both have Verizon, i was told you can but i haven't figured out how. but you can use your music as ringtones free, and download flash games free (by placing them in ez tip calc., world time, and another section), and a lot of other things.

Re: Unlock a Phone


3 things needed to use phones

1. The phone has to use the technology as the carrier (CDMA, GSM...)

2. The ESN has to be compatible with the carriers system

3. The ESN has to be "clean" and not report lost/stolen

All scenarios are soon to change.

Re: Unlock a Phone


Wut, pardon my ingnorance, what is an ESN?

The phone I am getting is coming from Verizon. Actually, swapping phones next Monday or Tuesday. Going to be using a Motorola w755. Downgrading from a Palm Treo 755p. As it turns out I don't need all that functionality.

Re: Unlock a Phone


ESN = Electronic Serial Number
MEID = Mobile Equipment Identifier

Each phone has one, and each carrier has a different database. This is the actual number that is put on the Lost/Stolen list. It's physically located on the back of the phone where the battery is usually stored.
