For a long time, places like http://www.wirelessimports.com/ sold some of the crazy Korean CDMA phones, and you could activate them on VZW no problem (you couldn't use a lot of the features, but you COULD use the phone). Also, for a long time, VZW's phones were sold unlocked (though this didn't really matter in the U.S., since there's a lack of CDMA carriers that you could use them on). Now, maybe this has all changed, but i'm not sure. Sprint, on the other hand, have always been nazi's about their network. No non-Sprint devices have ever been allowed, and they were always locked. -olly What’s interesting is that Verizon used to not care about using unlocked phones on their network.
