Can an "unlocked" cellphone be used for Verizon Wireless even though the phone is not listed on their website?
I want to buy a phone that is not offered by Verizon Wireless on their webiste and use it for my Verzion Wireless service. Can I buy any "unlocked" cell phone and activate it for use for my Verizon Wireless service?
The term "unlocked" is specific to GSM phones. These phones use a SIM card to obtain all the necessary network information so you can make calls. Most networks sell phones locked to only their network so your phone will not work with SIM cards from other networks. When a phone is unlocked it means it can be used with any GSM network in the world, so long as the phone and the network operate on the same frequency. Verizon uses CDMA technology, not GSM so an "unlocked" phone will not work with Verizon.
