Can I use a Verizon Audiovox XV 6600 (CDMA 800, 1900) with my Alltel carrier in the US? If yes, what is the procedure for getting the phone to work on my Alltel carrier. Do I have to unlock the phone or do something else?
thanks,
Adrian
PS, my appologies if this questions has been asked before, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer.
Sorry - you no can do. Unlike the GSM versions, the CDMA versions are carrier specific. Best you can do is sell it, and try to get another second-hand phone for Altel.
Have the same
I want to unlock my verizon audiovox 6600 so I may clone it to

I have heard of people moving phones between Sprint and Verizon's service. Granted they both carried the same particular model phones so it may be that you would need a ROM customized by the carrier flashed to your particular phone. I do not know all of the details.
You can Use to any carrier in the world.
The main problem is your Carrier SID, channel not compatible with Verizon.
change to your valid SID and channels with your Carrier.

Hello,
Anybody can help me please? I bought Verizon Audiovox 6600 from the us and I can not use because it is locked. Please jelp me to unlock the phone,Thank you[/i]
Ive heard there are issues with the Audivox unlocking. I would apreciate some help with that as well. I am getting one from a friend soon. Hes coming to England.
The 6600 is a CDMA phone. I take it your home country has CDMA as oppossed to GSM? Sorry for the basic question but there is no use unlocking it unless you have access to CDMA. The 6600 is not GSM capable.
New Zealand has CDMA, the UK does not.
From what I heard you are able to use the phone for voice only, but not data because the US does data in a different way than Asian CDMA operators. I could be wrong though regarding how the 6600 does data
Hey guys. Just wondering some things here, and can't get an answer anywhere. These same questions are posted all over the web, so please lend a helping hand.
So, there is already one CDMA Version of the Diamond released to Telus, and soon to be Verizon and Sprint. Now heres the question. If I were to buy a CDMA Diamond off the web, one that is used on Telus, can it be used for Alltel, Sprint, or Verizon?
If so, would it be possible to make a ROM to go along with these carriers? I see that there is already a Diamond Kitchen available, so what would have to be done to get one of these phones to work on these carriers? Or is it already possible?
Thanks for any help guys.
I think the rom would not help because it is hardware. Not too sure though.
u can unlock it but alot of good that will do since its cmda you have to give sprint/verizon your esn and they will have to allow your phone for use on their network and as far as i know they dont allow unlocked phones even if its the same model as one they carry since the esns have to be sprint esns. if im wrong someone feel free to correct me.
verizon said they will open their network so when that happens yes you can.
the rest no.
and telus has NOT released the diamond as of yet.
telus is launching this little cdma beauty aug 14th. my question is this:WILL THE CURRENT ROMS AVAILABLE WORK ON THIS DEVICE
sprint will let you activate any phone, they just have to load your esn into there system
You can't use a WCDMA Diamond on CDMA networks because of its hardware.
The CDMA version has got a different hardware for make it work on CDMA networks...
I think that actual ROMs for WCDMA Diamond will work on CDMA version... the software part that controls radio hardware is the Radio ROM.
As its mentioned the sprint version is CDMA/GSM so is it possible to unlock the GSM of sprint version to use with other carriers?
There is a wealth of information on this subject in the Rhodium CDMA Portion of this forum.
It is being worked on, but is not finalized yet.

yes, at PPC Geeks they are working on it. I really want to see it work on the Verizon network. I hate carrying two phones around.
I am sorry it doesn't make senc eto say you want your sprint phone to work on verison both are cdma unlocking won't help you!
I want the sprint to work on other carriers because I live in turkey where the phone is not available yet.. and I currently only use gsm so cdma won't bother me too much for now if only the gsm could be unlocked and used untill the cmda is also unlocked.

You say you live in Turkey? Then a Sprint Touch Pro 2 will most definitely work because by default it's already unlocked to international gsm providers.

Aye - the dozens of threads containing this info say as follows:
the sprint 'touch pro 2' ships sim-unlocked however US sim carriers currently blocked
and lots of 'we're working on it'
Thank oyu very much for your replies.
I am happy to hear that it is possible to use in turkey, I found one on ebay and asked seller to be sure that it will work and when receive the answer i will purchase one right away ..

hey i'm in turkey and have the tmobile unlocked version and i tried putting a vodafone tr sim in and it worked for sms and internet but when i make a call it will either not go through or i ca't hear anything and the other person can't hear. anyone know what the problem is?
the most possible reason should be radio update
Is there anything I can do to make my T-Mobile Touch Pro2 usable on Verizon's network?
Root it? Unlock it? Anything?
No, the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 is exclusively GSM, and Verizon's network utilizes CDMA technology. You would need to buy a Verizon Touch Pro2 from Verizon to use Verizon's network.
LOL.
AT&T, T-Mobile = GSM
Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular = CDMA
You CANNOT use a GSM phone on a CDMA network and vice versa.
AT&T to T-Mobile??
Hello,
I just upgraded to HTC Evo and moved to Sprint couple of days ago. I am trying to sell my Touch Pro2 to my friend who has a T-Mobile.
My TP2 is currently running the EneryROM, so I am wondering what I could do to get this phone run on T-Mobile.
We inserted his SIM-Card but unfortunately the phone asked for a code because the network is blocked.
I think I can download the T-Mobile's official ROM for TP2, would that work by itself?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

nope... wont work.. you cant just install a rom on the phone and have it work on another network... The phones themselves have to be compatible.. like was said up there.. gsm phones run on gsm networks.. cdma on cdma... now that said.. arent the touch pro 2's with verizon and sprint world phones so will run on both gsm and cdma?? Although I'm fairly certain even if it is possible to get it to work on the network you want you definatly wont get 3G....
You're better off just selling your phone to someone ON your network... craigslist or ebay can be your best friend... and he's better off buying one made for his network.
Just my two cents!

First of all, don't try to flash the T-Mobile ROM onto your Sprint Rhodium, since that's a great way to brick your device (the ROM is for a GSM device, flashing that to a CDMA/GSM device will brick it). Sprint allows the use of SIM cards for any carriers except US ones, so what you need to do is Security Unlock your Sprint TP2, then flash this special modified radio that will allow for the use of SIM cards from US carriers. Only then can you use your Sprint TP2 on T-Mobile US.
EDIT: Disregard this entire post, I misread it and this probably doesn't apply to the actual situation. My bad...

AFAIK, the TP2s on Verizon are World Phones, but I really doubt that you could go and use a Verizon TP2 on a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mo. I would assume Verizon would lock the feature to do that, and that the GSM antenna is more then likely an underpowered or unable to really take advantage of GSM networks (3G/HSDPA, Edge, etc). I think they are only set on on Verizons end to do basic voice and basic features.

Apparently no one is READING your post. You want to take an AT&T Tilt2 and run it on T-Mobile. It will work with the following restrictions:
1. Your phone is network locked to AT&T. You have to either call AT&T and get an unlock code, or buy a code off ebay or one of the forums here. That way the phone will work on a different carrier network.
2. Having unlocked your phone, with a T-Mobile SIM card it will work - but only on the slower Edge speed, NOT 3G. AT&T uses a different 3G technology than T-Mobile.
I would suggest selling it as an AT&T locked phone on ebay.

Thanks Steve
Everyone,
I apologize for the confusion.. I re-read my post and I didn't mention that my Touch Pro 2 is an AT&T phone. (I was an AT&T customer and moved to Sprint). Sorry about that guys..
But thank you everyone especially stevedabi for reading between the lines.. LOL.. He won't buy it but my other co-worker is very interested. Need to sell this thing so I can offset my termination fee from AT&T. haha.

Why not just transfer the entire contract to him WITH the phone.. Then you don't have to pay a cancellation fee... Can they do that here? I know of a few people that did it up in Canada but have never heard of anyone in the states doing it. I'm sure it's got to be possible down here.

hi All!
I am in a big fix and need the right facts here... so please help if you know of it, and are sure about it.
I intend to buy the HTC Evo 4G outright from Sprint, from the HTC US online store, for around $549. Now would like to know if this would be network unlocked?
I need to use this phone in India on CDMA network of the same frequency as the Sprint's, and i know i can use it here without a sim card. Now my only worry is that whether this would be locked to only Sprint network when i pay the full price for it from HTC store?
Thanks a lot!
Without rooting and some modifications, it is locked to the Sprint network. However, if you poke around some of the other forums where people have unlocked CDMA phones (the CDMA Hero comes to mind) you might see what they've done to unlock it to other networks.
I know this is very old post, but help me too. I want to use my htc evo in korea. It is rooted with s-off and I'm wondering if the phone is country locked or locked to sprint network. How can I tell? thx.
You can't unlock a CDMA phone, only GSM can be network unlocked. You can use your Sprint phone only if Sprint has set up an agreement with the country you are going to. But then you'd have to pay Sprint International Roaming rate.
According to this,
http://internationalroaming.sprint.com/IntlCoverage/SearchCountry.do?ECID=vanity:sww
South Korea is listed.

You can if you can do the following:
1. Have a way to activate the EVO in S. Korea with a provider that runs CDMA in 800mhz (create account, and add the EVO's ESN to that account)
2. Have access to a PRL file that gives priority to the CDMA network by the provider in #1, and update the PRL on your EVO with it.
I think #2 is doable, #1 may be difficult unless you know Korean well, or know someone who understands the issues and is willing to help. Also, while Korea has "PCS" bands, but they are not the same as the 1900 mhz PCS bands in the US, I believe they are in the 1700 mhz range, and are not the same as the AWS bands in the US, also in 1700mhz, but also in 2100mhz.
All that maybe fruitless, as you'll only have voice call capability, unless you also know how to program the mobile ip settings to get data working as well.
