I don't think so. Revol is cdma, t-mobile is gsm. Different technologies entirely.
T-mobile and Cingular are GSM carriers, and use sim cards for gsm. Sprint and Verizon are cdma, do not use sim cards, although they could. nextel, is cdma, but it uses an IDEN card, which is similar to the gsm sim card, but larger.

Ok so ur saying sprint and verizon phones will work with revol? if so im all over revol gonna get that verizon samsung u740

did it work? Were you able to use an unlocked sprint or verison phone with revol?

recently the apple iphone was hacked and unlocked, able to be used on any of the networks you guys have mentioned, like t-mobile, verizon, etc.
so does this mean that the iphone can be somehow made compatible with revol's unlimited everything (texts, minutes, internet, etc.)?

Sorry, Revol will not register a non Revol phone with the co., it's against there Co rules.

I thought that would be a great idea to get a used unlocked phone, and use it at Revol.

Revol will flash certain CDMA phones. They started doing it a couple months ago. You would have to check with them on specific models to see if they can do it for the one you want.

Revol can flash phones from verizon, alltel, sprint, virgin mobile, cricket, tracfone and more. It's pretty cool. I flashed my sprint instinct over to revol.
I love it.

i got a newer razr from my brother and it was verizon wireless. i had it turned on at revol wireless for $36. so it works. though i hate verizon wireless phones, i liked my old revol wireless razr alot better.

I wanted to lodge a complaint about T-Mobile non-contract service in the Atlanta Suburbs. I bought an unlocked nokia 1208 T-Mobile phone on February 2, 2009. For the longest time I couldn't access the number of minutes I had left. On April 25th, I was preparing to journey back north where I live during the summer and fall. I stopped at T Mobile on Chastain Road in Kennesaw. How do I find my minutes, I asked? Dial #999# then hit the green phone. He demonstrated, it worked. I tried a couple of times before driving out of town. It worked. But when I tried it again at the five star gas station in Paducah, Kentucky, I could not actuate those minutes. In fact, though I kept T-mobile service the entire way back to Sparta, Wisconsin where I live, getting two to five bars SIGNAL, I've never been able to find the minutes I have left on my unlocked T-Mobile phone AGAIN. Wednesday night (5-13) I went to the T-Mobile shop on Chastain Road in Kennesaw again. The tech there couldn't get it to work. He called Network, they had no answer. Finally, he put my sim in a locked store phone from the shelf. It worked. He suggested I complain to Nokia. I did. The Nokia tech said the T-mobile tech's test was not a fair one. He put my sim into a locked off the shelf T-mobile store phone which has the whole network programmed into it, unlike my unlocked phone. He was right. If you leave the host area where you bought the unlocked nokia 1208, you won't get minutes information from the cell again. T-MOBILE OF ATLANTA HAS PROGRAMMED UNLOCKED NOKIA 1208 NON-CONTRACTS TO DENY ONE THAT CRITICAL INFORMATION IF ONE LEAVES THE AREA OF PURCHASE!

Revol doesnt use sim cards but you can use most verizon or sprint phones. I just did it with a sprint phone. Only downfall is you cant get internet or picture messages. Everything else is good. $40 to activate it but is cheaper than a new phone.

ok this "helpful" ummm, i was wondering can phones from net10 be switched to revol because im about to get the samsung T401g and i was unlimited txting soo if anyone can answer that thank yu

It depends whether they run on GSM or CDMA technology.

ii think it'sz a gsm so can ii switch it to revol???
