Wrong. CDMA requires a carrier to have that device programmed for them to use. Non Verizon phones are NOT programmed to be used on their network. It's a two way street. Using your logic would mean that a Verizon phone would work on sprint because Verizon is unlocked.
yeah umm when i stick my verizon sim card in my 4G LTE IPHONE 6 PLUS that is meant to be sold as a t-mobile phone. i do not have to have it programmed by verizon. it just works. because the iPhone 6 is apparently smart enough to program itself. I've been testing this a little bit each day since the 19th
the LTE issue blurs CDMA programming. because verizon and sprint are using the SIM card to authenticate the device to the network. its a little wishy washy. when you say that the CDMA requires the carrier to have that device programmed to use, you are talking about STRICT CDMA devices that have no sim cards. once you put a sim card in the mixture. everything is foggy, as you might remember from the iPad air, verizon will work on any iPad you bring to their network. sprint will activate iPads that made for other networks , if you can prove you purchased the universal part and show them a receipt saying you bought it from the apple store.
yeah i never stated that verizon phones would work on sprint. or visa versa. now that we have the iPhone 6 i would be willing to try it
if you believe i am wrong. kindly explain to me why my T MOBILE unlocked IPHONE 6 PLUS works for verizon as soon as i stick in a verizon sim card out of my iPhone 5 and put it in my iPhone 6., and i am able to call Diamond Dan's Wrestling Hotline using CDMA, buddy. ( 317 355 HOTT)
I AM ALL EARS. I am waiting for your explanation on how this not programed for verzon iPhone is WORKING for verizon. CDMA WORKS , VOLTE WORKS, and VISUAL VOICE MAIL WORKS.
when i say foggy i mean that if i take my iPhone 5 for verizon. and remove the sim card, and it will refuse to operate at all on verizons network. its dead the world. even if i take it to a partner carrier, like Golden State Cellular near Angels Camp that has no LTE at ALL and is STRICTLY 1xrtt / 3g., no SIM no service. the phone cannot call out.
jf your argument that the CDMA has to be provisioned was 100 % true , and i was wrong, then you think the CDMA radio would still work without a sim card....'
i think this whole CDMA programming issue is obsolete, when you talk about LTE. i think the only reason we have sprint phones is because sprint told apple thats how they want it, and apple agreed. from the looks of my experiments, you only have to have the correct IMEI/MEID to have the sim card activated. once the sim card is activated it will work with any unlocked iPhone 6 because they are all universal now. except maybe sprint
when i go to my verizon.com and look at my device on the iPhone 5. it just says the sim card. there is no mention on the meid. when i put it in the iPhone 6. the iPhone 5 graphic is replaced by NON VZW DEVICE. my verizon shows no evidence what so ever that the CDMA is provisioned. yet the CDMA radio works
