Sorry Robb, verizon has got that covered too. They are always working against the customer. Word is:

“The days of getting a non-VZW fone activated are over.
VZW now will not activate any CDMA fone who’s ESN is not in their database, even for example, the exact same CDMA model (such as a RAZR), but made for another CDMA carrier such as Sprint or US cellular or Alltel. …
They even closed the “loophole” that allowed you to get around it with the Online ESN changer …”

I agree with hellno: just because Sprint has unlocked the device doesn’t mean that VZW has to activate it. In fact, VZW will not activate an unlocked CDMA phone.

The only way VZW will change is if their is sufficient economic incentive. The only type of incentive would be if customers in large numbers simply started leaving VZW as a form of protest against their less consumer friendly practices. That hasn’t happened yet and most likely will not.

When you are with VZW, you in essence make a deal with the devil: you can screw me over bigtime, but I get to use a great network. Until someone else comes up with a network just as good but more consumer friendly, then VZW will remain the way they are.

Thought,

Remember it’s verizon who’s changing their network to the global, open, standard, GSM family of technologies (LTE). It will be interesting to see how verizon could keep up the anti-consumer corporate culture while upgrading their network to a know family of technologies based on open, standard, non-branded handsets.

LTE is several years away. Long way to go to figure out how to lock the network down like we all know they will.

That’s funny. I just tried to have my sprint bb 8830 unlocked to use when I’m in the UK and Sprint told me the can’t do that. Hmm..
