Cdma?

[bcnaz]

When I first got my phone I just took the sim card out of my old phone, put it in the pp and it worked. Now no. Called verzon and gave them the imei off my Samsung phone and they said thephone was to old to register. What!
I did read the threads mentioned above. Now it seems using an imei off a cheapo phone won't work either. So unless some one gets lucky and finds a carrier that works. I'm just up a creek.

Just my "Personal Opinion"  :

I think it is Politics,  not Technology preventing you from using Verizon.

Some forum members have got their Pine phones working for minutes, days or weeks on Verizon,  but ultimately Verizon shuts them down.

This shows:   "It is Possible"   for the Pine phone   'to work on cdma'  ...  Just NOT ALLOWED by Verizon.

Meanwhile thousands of people around the world are using GSM carriers with mostly good results, including here in the US...

I have personally tested at least 10 different  'resellers'  here in the southwestern U.S. that are easy to set-up and use.
