I saw an add where the Touch Pro 2 has a conference call app. Is that on the Imagio too?
Nevermind I found my answer.
And that answer was?
CDMA networks can only handle 3 people on a call. GSM can handle 8. The conference program is only on the GSM TP2. Even if you bake it into a CDMA rom. It won't work.
But say if you had a go card from at&t and an unlocked imagio, what say you now?
It's still a CDMA phone/rom so I'm guessing no. I wonder if you use both the CDMA and GSM radios can you talk and surf at the same time?
Well is there a program to conference between 3 people?

Hi All,
I was wondering if I could use my unlocked 8525 with Verizon's net work if I switched to them? I'm not sure about compatability of the phone with Verizon's voice and data services and was wondering if anyone knew.
Thanks
I dont think so. Att and verizon use two different technologies. Att uses GSM and Verizon uses CDMA. Im almost certain tho a phone that is based on GSM cannot be used on a CDMA network. The phone will work on TMobile or USCellular. They use a GSM based technology. Verizon Sprint and Nextel all use CDMA. If i am wrong and you can use the GSM based phone with Verizon CDMA then someone please correct me. But i am pretty certain you cannot.
OK,thanks. Thats what I thought
Verizon does not have sim cards, is that correct?

Not that I've ever seen.
I know sprint phones have sim card slots, but they are not used, at least in the USA.
My guess is that CDMA phones can be used in the same way as GSM phones as far as switching sims to use different carriers, but the CDMA carriers in the 'states don't use that functionality (probably to keep a tighter grip on their sucke....customers and wring more money from them through phone sales/upgrades and extra services, like a data service to put on extra ring tones )
I know that I don't know much about these phones, but what of the setting inside of Settings/Personal/Phone/Band where you can select WCDMA as your network type? I've got an 8525 and it shows as an option, but I just don't know if anyone's tried it before.
CDMA and GSM phones are totally different. The only SIM based verizon phone that Ive seen its the Blackberry 8300 its world edition soo it can bu used through a cdma and also a GSM carrier. I would be interested if anyone knows how to say make a sprint phone capable of being on verizons network. That would be something different.
actually a sprint phone is capable of being used on verison network any cdma phone is. in short the way cdma works the subscriber info is assigned to the phone's esn by the carrier so only the carrier can change your phone with gsm the sim (Subscriber Identity Module) holds the subscriber info and it is assigned to a sim card id not a esn (electronic serial number) so all you have to do to get a sprint phone to work for verizon is get verizon to let it (GOOD LUCK WITH THAT) you would have better luck the other way around verizon is the pickiest co out there when it comes to network integrity and security issues they seem to think that letting people use any phone they want could somehow hurt their network

WCDMA is 3G. 3G on GSM systems is essentially a CDMA standard, but not the same CDMA as Verizon uses. It is not compatible.

hi guys,
has anyone added cdma support to any of the modified roms ?
I really could use it. i live too far away for any tmobile radio signal, and on my blackberry, that is how i connected to everything was with cdma.
thanks,
kevin rea
littlerock, calif.
your asking to be flamed at right now
CDMA and GSM are completely different hardware-wise, not just software. You can't use a GSM device on a CDMA network or vice versa by flashing the ROM, you need a whole different device with a CDMA radio in it. There is no CDMA HD2, so I'm afraid you're out of luck there.
If you want. cdma...get sprint evo 4g....
no....
i'm on tmobile., and have been before the hd2.., so i will just use my blackberry again.. at least i can make phone calls with it from home.., unlike the hd2.
kevin
are you talking about uma on your bb?
cant you make make wi-fi calling with the hd2 also?
Yes... you are correct.. UMA
that's what happens when you get old... the terminology escapes you.
yes, UMA.,
not cdma
I was wondering if anyone has been able to active UMA on the hdc hd2.
If you look on some online sites, i think they are european.., their specs on the hdc hd2 do say that the hd2 has the uma ability... but tmobile says that it is not in there.
thanks for helping me with the terminology.
kevin
well when i talked to t-mobile level 2 tech support they told me it supports wi-fi calling and he said it does not support uma only the blackberry phones for t-mobile have that ability
but you can always use google voice i believe it works through wi-fi and 3g but i'm not sure
Google voice is not VOIP atleast not as of yet.

They also told me that it was impossible to tether with any of their phones other then the Blackberry's. We all know that's BS.
Has anyone figured out if the HD2 is capable of UMA calling? I've searched all over the place and can't find an answer to this.
Thanks!
I currently live in Southern Ca. What can I do step by step to get my tilt 2 to work on the MetroPcs network? Is it even possible?
no you cant do it
so it is altogether impossible for anyone to do this correct?
Correct the Tilt 2 is a ATT branded HTC Touch Pro 2 or (Code name Rhodium) ATT and Tmobile Touch pro 2 are GSM netorks which work off of sim cards that you load into the phone with your accounts settings. Verizon, Sprint, Metro PCS, and some other US carriers use whats called CMDA. Which is basically a sim card thats hard wired into the phone on a chip. So the "ESN""/ Sim card is locked to that phone alone. So with a GSM phne like att or tmobile to change phones you just switch Sim Cards. For metro PCS , Sprint of CMDA phone you call in your ESN number to the carrier and activate it. So basically you have a GSM ATT Phone with a CMDA carrier. Your options are to switch to tmobile, ATT, or some other cheapo carriers, some use both cmda and gsm. If you want that phone your going to need to buy an Sprint Touch Pro 2 or a Verizon Touch pro 2 CMDA version. The Touch pro 2 and Tilt 2 are hte same phone just branded different names. I'm gonna pm you with more details.
there is a member that has a sprint TP2, and is trying to make it work on ATT
since she has the version of the TP2 that you seem to need, and you have the version she seems to need, you 2 should talk and maybe work out a trade...

I have a question about how GSM and CDMA radios work. I have an HTC Merge from USCC (I live in Vermont, USA). They use CDMA and leave the SIM unlocked for prepaid SIM cards. I travel to Alberta, Canada on a regular basis and have access to a post-paid account on Bell Mobility (GSM). I would like to figure out if it is possible to set up my phone to work on both lines at the same time, without having to switch back and forth to check for incoming calls and texts.
Is such a setup possible?
If it is, does anyone know how I would go about getting it set up (perhaps a different thread for the answer to this part)?
On a CDMA phone, where is the carrier information stored (phone number, PRL, etc.)?
The phone is currently rooted, S-OFF, SuperCID, SIM Unlocked, running 2fastrom's USCC Gingerbread ROM.
Radio version is 1.08.00.0804
I am posting this here because I consider it to be first of all a question of whether it is possible to use both systems at the same time, regardless of the phone itself. I have added the phone info in case those who may know the answer need it. If it needs to be moved, I have no problem with that.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
All the best,
Reuben

most phones do not support both cdma and gsm

I know the iPhone 4s can use both but it has two separate antennas to accomplish this. I think it comes down to hardware.
Isn't Verizon coming up with some type of solution with VMWare for this? Where you could have two numbers active at the same time, one of them being a business number that was running in VMWare?
Yes, it is partly a matter of hardware - the Merge is set up for both systems. Still not sure if it can "listen" for two different numbers at once. Also curious about whether the phone needs to be listening to both bands at the same time if one number is CDMA based and the other is SIM/GSM based.
Verizon's solution sounds interesting - not sure it is enough to make me switch, particularly if both numbers have to be on their network.
Yes but only if you are not Verizon.

Currently Telefonica will support 2 simultaneous numbers due to a dual-sim. I really can't wait until entire networks start switching to an all IP based system. This would allow a much more flexible system then the NAM currently used.

Dual sim
It will eventually coming , we may see this type of services in near future once iphone will start shipping with GSM and CDMA unlocked version.
No its not doable at the same time
Is it possible to make GSM-unlocked SPH L720 work in GSM and CDMA networks at the same time i.e. receive calls? Now I can only switch networks with Tellinfo and when I choose one of them another is out of service.

no, as far as i know you can only use one frequiency at a time. but i dont really see why you would want to....reguardless of the network you are on you can make and receive calls from any network.....the only way this would make sense is if you had 2 different numbers for 2 different networks bothing comming into the same phone and whats the point in having the second network when there are services like google voice...set up a g voice account and just use that as your secondary number and only pay the bill for one carrier....

Yes, I live in Ukraine, I use two different numbers: our CDMA operator to talk with my family and for Internet; GSM for usual calls. It would be great to use both simultaneously. Google voice is also an option but I still need GSM number
