NTT DoCoMo to Sell All Phones Unlocked
hmmmm
idk, correct me if im wrong but you dont really hear about big business of cdma phones being unlocked/flashed to a different carrier due to the crazy security and red tape. i use the word "business" lightly. it would be nice to grab lets say an evo 4g or a moto droid and use it on lets say u.s cellular because you don't want to be stuck with an enforced data plan even if you don't need one and you want to use the device primarily on wifi. as far as i'm aware uscc is one of the remaining few who don't enforce a mandatory data plan for smart phones. it's the little freedoms in life i miss the most 🤣

The carrier cares because they sold the phone at a steep discount and if the customer cancels early or has the option of using the phone elsewhere, they lose money.

Both Sprint and Verizon say that their devices are unlocked and can be used on other networks
Oh, thats cool. Can I use this EVO on Verizon then? Or the Droid X on Sprint?
Short answer... no.

You can register any ESN/MEID onto any CDMA network and you will get basic Call and SMS.
However, any data dependent services will be a black hole as the data configuration settings tend to be a black hole for CDMA. I've never done it with smart p...
