I am sure this is posted some where and after searching off and on for two days....

Can you use a TP2 from another carrier on verizon, and if so which ones?

Thanks,
J

If its possible, which I believe it is not. It would have to be a cdma phone, I don't think the GSM can work on CDMA. But don't hold your breath, because its a pain to even try to get the phone on VZW.

Here is a BIG list of CDMA carriers in N.A. good luck..... http://www.rentcell.com/cdma-info.htm

EDIT: Well just going through the list I posted. I noticed its pretty outdated as far as some of the carriers like US WEST is now QWEST and Cricket isn't on there but they are CDMA as well

You may be able to use a Telus or Sprint TP2 on Verizon, but why would you want to? You'd also have to try to get them to add the ESN to their database.

Ok... thats kindof what i was gathering, i am sure i could figure out how to mod it but i really dont feel like spending hours on the phone with verizon. I have a company plan and cant get them to get me a new phone directly so i have to buy one on ebay, and it seems like there is more sprint and t-mobile units out there so they cost a bit less.

Thanks for the help.

Trying to get one for around $325.00, 3 days and no luck so far. lost about 13 so far. I am even using a bid sniper.

Try craigslist as well. You may get lucky!

yeah I have looked on craigs list, couple for sprint and t-mobile. You think $325 is being optimistic?

Verizon TP2's should slowly become more available. They were out of stock (or barely in stock) for a month or so shortly after release, and I don't think Sprint or Telus had any out of stock issues. So, I'd guess now that people can buy them more easily, they'll start showing up more places for sale.
