Is it possible to use a Sprint phone on a Verizon network? It seems to me that they should be compatable since they both run at the same frequencies. If it is possible then why do you think more people haven't done this? And if it isnt possible, why can't it be done?
If you have a dual band, tri-mode phone, and you have the master subsidy lock code, then you can use it on Verizon, your profile says you have an lg 5250, that phone is dual band, but it is only a dual mode phone, will not work on 800 CDMA, so that phone you cant use on Verizon, unless you were in Florida, Minnesota, or parts of Texas where Verizons service is in the PCS bands.
Thanks coalminer - I am actually looking into buying a new phone now which is what i am looking into now. For example the new Sanyo 8100 is tri-mode and therefore is the same as Verizon's phones. What is the master subsidy lock code? Is it something that i could easily find?
we all wish those codes were easy to get. however you would have to fond someone with the comp prog to unlock it. Many usually will do it for a small fee.
Well, you have to call Sprint up and tell them that you want to change the phone on your account, they will walk you through the programming, but there is one thing, if you have a phone that has never been activated before, the first code they will give you is a one time only code, tell them it does not work, they will give you a second code, which is the MSL. There are a few other things to do to the phone to get it to work on Verizon, but getting the code is the big thing.
Actually, Dual-Band is 800 and 1900 mhz digital only, it just means there is no analog..... Oh crap, i just realized this was really old....
