Re: tracfone
If I buy a tracfone phone can I unlock it and use my t-mobile sim card?

BTW. Tracfone is GSM, CDMA, and even in the past TDMA. It all depends on the area you sign up in, and what type of phone you buy. If you get a GSM tracfone it will roam for free. If you get a CDMA tracfone then roaming outside of the local coverage area will roam at 2x the local rate.Last edited by roberts1953; 07-28-2006 at 05:13 PM.

Re: tracfone
I thought that if a phone has a sim card, it is not cdma.
Anyhow, I have a tracfone and an unlocked razr v3. The tracfone sim does not work in the razr--it will not acquire a network and only allows emergency calls.
I guess thats the firmware discussed above. Is there any way to hack the firmware?
Thanks!Last edited by skinny puppy; 08-15-2006 at 05:28 AM.

You can reflash the tracfone phone. It would then work with any other GSM SIM on a compatable GSM network. But the Tracfone SIM would no longer work in the Tracfone phone. Nothing you can do about using a tracfone SIM in a RAZR until Tracfone comes out with a Tracfone RAZR (highly unlikely).Last edited by roberts1953; 08-22-2006 at 02:01 PM.
