yes they do use sim cards, but thier service sucks, and are very expensive. i use nextel on the job everyday for free and ill tell you that id never pay for such lousy service. ive used cingular from hawaii to detroit and had no problems at all. plus the rollover your unused minutes to your next month.

Good luck activating that phone on Verizon. They wont profit from it so they wont help you... even though they can. I used to work for them there a bunch of money grubbing ********. They would probably activate it if you bought a new phone

damn are you serious? That sucks. I know it is, or should I say was, very possible to activate a non-verizon phone onto the network, I've done it myself to my account at least a dozen times with non-verizon phones. It's just now, with the new system, I can't activate it and need the help of someone on the inside.

I have the MSL and the code to access the programming menu. The phone has been manually programmed, BUT all I need now is for Verizon to include the ESN into the database and recognize the phone so I could actually use it. And yes the phone is CDMA.

Just go with T-Mobile man, they promise to offer you the most minutes and free long distance/roaming night and weekeds. Also best customer service i tell ya, with a sim card you don't have to worry about all these BS and you get a free gsm phone for signing up. They actually have a plan right now for $39.99 you get 1500 minutes!!! and for $49.99 you get FREE nights and weekends lets see verizon beat that. I get really good reception too cause of their 100% digital GSM network. Verizon and sprint sucks ***.

cingular is still better than t-mobile. i know cuz i have both

I know verizon sucks guys, but as far as coverage goes, it's the best I've had. I've had cingular, t-mobile, and thems, I loved Cingular, but reception died out in the mountains for example, where Verizon still had service. And with that, I have my parents on my plan and I would like to provide them with a service where if they needed to make an outgoing call it'll happen. Verizon's incoming calls, that's where they suck.

Oh yeah, and buk, I'll call you moham :P Find that phone dude! I'm assuming it was a moto flip phone that was small as ---- huh.

Damn help me guys, I really don't want to experiement with the last resort.

sprint and verizon both use cdma.. and one of the business benefits with having a cdma network is the ability select exactly which phones will and will not work with their network.. it sucks and is the reason typically that sprint and verizon phones are the most expensive phone on ebay.. they all have to come from sprint or verizon first vs. cigular which uses the more world wide standard of gsm meaning phones can come from manufacturers all over the world and do not need to meet the middle man(service provider).
