Bold Unlock

hello_bb · #1 11-07-2008, 01:45 PM

I just won the new Bold a day before it was released (still waiting to receive it via mail) but the catch is that I have Verizon, not AT&T. I read here before that it isn't possible to do an unlock but I've already seen the Bold pop up on ebay, etc as "unlocked." Can I do this? Or should I sell it and get the Storm when it comes out? I am tired of the shared keys on my Pearl!!

Unfortunately, AT&T and Verizon use different wireless technology, Verizon is CDMA and AT&T is GSM. It is not possible to use the AT&T phone on Verizon, unlocked or not.

the bold cannot be used on the verizon network because it is a gsm device and verizon has a cdma network, i would sell it and go with the storm if you like the storm
