    I am a very satisfied Verizon Customer with service but phone quality and durability is a big problem with Verizon compatible phones. Is there any way to program a Motorola/Nextel business line phone to adapt to Verizon service. Very tired of replacing phones and due to minimal wear and tear. I am ignorant in this area I understand Verizon is CDMA compatible does Motorola offer the nextel type phones that may work with Verizon service. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    No. Nextel phones are iDen, which is completely different than Verizon's CDMA.

    Why don't you try an LG for your service? LG phones for GSM aren't that great, but the CDMA versions are durable.

    Thanks for the replies I will consider the LG line. Another question does the unlocked term mean it will cross carriers.

    Not if you have Verizon; "unlocking" a phone generally refers to GSM phones such as Cingular or T-Mobile, but CDMA phones are pointless to unlock. It requires a fairly lengthy explanation... here's the complete answer: Unlocking a CDMA Phone...

    Thank you for the unlocking forum, very interesting. In the area I live Verizon is the only game in town. The service is excellent, but again many of the actual phones are disposable in my opinion. I have a family of four on the service that we depend on and go through phones like no other I'll keep searching until I find a durable unit that works for our lifestyle. Thanks
