Unbranded phone

[attroll]

It there a place on the web where you can buy unbranded phone?

[zerog46]

They are tough to get. You could purchase one and the replace the housing. Checke Horizon in my sig.

Why do you want an "unbranded" one? Most CDMA carriers won't allow you to use it on their networks as they only allow their devices on their networks.

[attroll]

Because my carrier will allow any CDMA phone on there system as long as it is not branded from another company. That is what they told me.

[John Clark]

I'm not aware of any unbranded CDMA BB devices.

[attroll]

Thank you, it never hurts to ask. I have read on the forums here that some people have them and I was just wondering where they were getting them from.

[moorken]

do they mean that it might not be SIM locked with an other provider?
Maybe check for an online store in Belgium, our providers are not allowed by law to lock devices so they can only be used on their networks, so you will be able to use any belgian phone anywhere in the world with any provider

Moorken - attroll uses a CDMA provider. Pure CDMA devices do not have SIM cards. It is a different situation. You can't take a GSM device, unlock it, and use it on a CDM network.

It seems many GSM-users aren't aware that there are other technologies in the world (even superior ones, heh).

[NJBlackBerry]

Yes, the whole rest of the world has to survive on one technology while the US has to have three.

Heh.
