I am reading some comments about what will work on Verizon now that CDMA is phasing out. Anybody know exactly what will work? I do not want the LE that Verizon sells.
I got eh Key2 and a SIM from Verizon but the error message said that the IMEI was not recognized by Verizon. Anybody know how to fix that one?
BBE100-5 for the KEY² LE, and (with a little work) the BBF100-2 for the KEY².
Only the former is officially supported.
GoTalkUSA still has them...$679.
What a bargain!!! That’s practically giving them away
For a 2018 midgrade handset that running 2017 Android software and won't be getting anymore security patches. GoTalkUSA knows they have PKB lovers over a barrel.
OP can shop around, other places might have then as well. Just need to make sure of the model - BBF100-2.
What does it take to get the BBF100-2 to work on Verizon network? I have an old Key1 that I will be replacing.
In theory, it takes any VZW certified LTE only device to have a CDMAless SIM provisioned. Once that's done, you switch the SIM from the VZW certified hardware to Key2 and should be finished. This is successful about 90% of time.
I got a certified refurbished one through Amazon prime. 500 bucks. Some sellers are asking up to 2K for a new one. VZW corporate store got me activated in 10 minutes. No issues so far.
How's the overall condition? I'm thinking of grabbing one from there too.
