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.

I bought a unlock droid pro and work good in HK with EDGE data connection and GSM network. But when I go to china, sicne my sims card has another China number, it suppose to switch to use the china number. But now it is not auto switched to the china number and use the HK number in roaming mode and no EDGE data connection at all...
Anyone experience similarly like this? why and how to solve?
I am using Peoples/China mobile...
Hi All,
I want to use my GSM phone on CDMA network.
I know that if my phone does not have a CDMA receiver I cannot use the device itself on the network,
but is there a case (like Apple Peel $70-100) or a companion device (like gmate $65).
So basically, I am looking for CDMA modem that could transfer calls, data, and sms to my GSM phone (Xperia Arc S) or wifi device (Galaxy Player).
Any ideas?
Absolutely not. CDMA networks are highly restricted, and only allow phones in their IMEI database to access the network.
hi!
Hmm...
Well the reverse is possible so long as you have a CDMA phone with global roaming capabilities, but gsm to CDMA is limited by the IMEI, as the person above noted. Rather than asking if you cn get a device to transfer calls (because you could always get a throw away phone and forward calls to your gsm number, though I know or assume that's not what you want), find out wether there is a way to emulate an IMEI for non-CDMA devices.

Then there is another option that I wanted to check - using basic CDMA phone (I have samsung M910) with Android 2.2
and transfer calls over wifi or bluetooth to Xperia Arc S ( Android 4.0 and can be WiFi hotspot).
I found an app called "Phone Link by Funky Android Ltd", but didn't have time to check it yet; it is also in early alpha stage.
I'm wondering if there are more advanced apps to do the same if Phone Link happens to be too buggy?
Thread Closed.
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
Looking at the LTE bands, it seems to have the main ones needed for Verizon service. I don't want to buy the CDMA version in case I need to switch in the near future.
No. Bands may be the same but the radios in the device are different.
Yeah the one I been using the past month only worked with GSM sims. I been using a T-Mobile sim
It does "work" for LTE and data. You will have issues with voice calls though since VOLTE is packaged as part of Verizon's Advanced calling. If you HAVE to use it, set up a google voice or SIP account to forward to your Verizon number. That being said, wait for the CDMA version to be available to have full functionality.
