Cell phones: can verizon phone work with T-mobile?
can verizon phone work with T-mobile?
by djdude - 8/5/05 7:24 AMMy friend has a Treo 650 and he said he is selling it for $200. But he has Verizon and the phone is verizon and I have T-mobile, I wanted to know if i could unlock it and make it work with T-mobile and how much do carriers charge to unlock the phones for you or just a estimate what it will cost..
NO

coz verizon uses CDMA and Tmobile GSM
so they are not compatible
No, totally different technologies
by SuperNinja - 8/6/05 8:09 AM In reply to: can verizon phone work with T-mobile? by djdudeSince Verizon is on a CDMA network there is no slot for the phone to have a SIM card in it which is what T-mobile and Cingular uses. Now if you're friend had Cingular then it could work because all you'd have to do is unlock the SIM. But the bottom line is Verizon = CDMA and T-Mobile = GSM different technologies
Treo

T-mobile

I pulled the chip out of my older GSM phone and plugged it into the 650 and Viola! No problem. I would call T-mobile about the unlocking part. $200 is a fabulous deal for a 650. Are you sure it's not a 600?
Nope its a treo 650
by djdude - 8/9/05 5:49 PM In reply to: T-mobile by Matthew1960yeah my friend showed me and it has a removable battery so it is the 650 and it is in great condition but it is verizon and what the other guys were saying at the top was that verizon is CDMA and T-mobile was GSM.
