how the fuck do you unlock these things. i got a badass phone that "fell off the truck" and i can't even use the thing. does anyone know of a place i can find out how to unlock this thing?

I thought only GSM phones could be unlocked. I don't think CDMA phones (like what Verizon uses) can be unlocked.

this looks like a good place to start?

do any of you guys on RTTP work at a Verizon? i throw you 20 bucks or something?

this phone's pretty neat. it's got buttons you just have to touch and the screen is touchable too. i only do pre-paide because of the nature of my bidness bitches.

it says: initial programming needed

it's hard to get a nice prepaid phone.
i bought the prepaid phone at 7-11 for $7.11
slow as fuck though

and there is no SIM cards in these friggn things. arrrrrrrrgh.
what if i called verizon and said i bought it on ebay and the seller said it was an "unlocked" phone. do you think they'd give me the c0de to unlock it? hmmmmmmm?

If you call Verizon they will track the phone, see it's stolen and you will be arrested.
My girlfriend works for Verizon.

Kevord. see if your girlfriend will help me out. give me the digits to punch in the phone so i can use it. i'll pay her. come on man, help me out.

man, i tell ya, the world is filled with 99% pussies.

dude there is nothing you can do the phone is not made for tmobile/att

and all the work would be for nothing since the phone is Peice of shit...

Yeah, she's gonna lose her job to make a couple of bucks from you. How dumb.

how could they catch her? i mean, there are sites that actually sell the digits to unlock phones. she wouldn't get caught. can you just do me a favor and ask her if she could do it without getting in trouble? i'll make it up to you guys. i have shit to trade or straight cash. whatever?

i don't know what you're saying. it's better than the phone i have now and i never said it was tmobile or at&t. it's fucking verizon prepaid.

If you have cash buy a phone.

jesus christ.
can you just ask her for me dude?

Those prepaids are useless unless they get scanned at the register when you buy them. I hope you didn't pay for it because unless it got scanned through a cash register on the way from the truck to the ground you are fucked.

obviously i didn't pay for it at the register. oh well, i'll find a way to sell it or something then? shitttty

PASTE:

CDMA phones technically can be unlocked but not in the same sense that people think about GSM and iDEN unlocking. Since CDMA phones do not use a SIM card, they are sort of "hardwired" to the provider that sells them. Therefore, they can only be unlocked by the provider with a special code that they absolutely will not give out over the phone. This contrasts how you might call Cingular and have them give you an unlock code so you can travel overseas and use your GSM phone with a foreign SIM card. GSM phones can usually be unlocked remotely, but CDMA phones require a bit of 'reprogramming' to unlock, and it's not as simple as calling your provider and getting a code over the phone.

Generally, CDMA phones are NOT considered unlockable because it is usually impractical to do so. Sprint, my provider, will not under any circumstances activate a non-Sprint phone, so an unlocked CDMA phone would be useless to you if you use Sprint. Even if you get an unlocked CDMA phone and by some chance are able to have it activated with your provider, many of the features will not work correctly unless someone with quite a bit of technical knowledge reprograms the phone to your provider's specifications.

So, you can see where this is a very confusing subject. Even if you can unlock your CDMA phone, who is going to activate it for you? I suggest you call your CDMA provider, whether it's Sprint, Verizon, or whoever, and ask them if they will activate an unlocked Treo. Don't be surprised if they either act like they don't know what you're talking about, or even laugh at you for asking. You may have to ask for a level-2 tech person before you even get an acknowledgement that CDMA unlocking is possible. Your best chance is with a prepaid service, as they generally do not care where the phone comes from as long as you are buying their minutes, but I would still suggest calling them and asking before you spend the money on a phone.

my friend got an unlocked prepaid phone once off ebay... they called him up told him the phone was stolen and shut off his service a few weeks after... It was also the chocolate... that thing is a piece of crap trust me. I used to get mad trying to use his phone to get a number out.

is your provider Verizon also? I'm not clear on that.

Did you consider, good sirs, that as long as you buy stolen products, people will steal from you?

Ponderous, I say.

rightwell if u buy off ebay you dont always know...

yeah man, i already have verizon prepaid service but with a shittier phone. i tried to call verizon and go through the automated stuff to get you through so you can have the same number but use a new phone but it keeps saying "we're sorry, your initial setup failed" or something like that.
so yes, i use a verizon wireless prepaid phone

i'm ready everyday for someone to steal from me. i can't wait to catch someone so i can smash their bloody skulls in with a crow bar. but if they did actually get away with it, that just means i was caught slipp'n, and i have to be even more cautios in the future. homo

cunts
anyone wanna buy a phone?

huh? bitch? what?

you lose!

yar i do
