Frequently Asked Questions

What about my Verizon / Sprint / Cricket / Alltel / Qwest phone?

UnlockCellphone.com: Frequent Asked Questions
Verizon and Sprint (except Nextel which Sprint just acquired) both operate on the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network. Verizon generally do not lock the phones it sell, and you may reprogram it either over the air or manually when switching to another CDMA provider. However, in order for it to work properly, a PRL (Preferred Roaming List) should be uploaded into the phone. Sprint locks all the phones they sell and will not release the unlock code or SPC (Service Provider Code).

How do I enable Java on my Verizon, Alltel, MetroPCS or VIVO phone?

V710 E815 V3C FAQ
Motorola phones sold by Verizon, Alltel, MetroPCS and Vivo make use of BREW, not Java. There is no code in their firmware to support Java, Java games or Java apps, etc on these phones, so there is no way to enable Java on them.

So how do I add games/apps to my Verizon, Alltel, MetroPCS or Vivo phone?

V710 E815 V3C FAQ
See also the GAMES page... But in short.. Brew apps/games are locked a the particular hand set via digital signatures, so you can't back them up from one phone, and load them onto another. No one has successfully "cracked" brew 2.x and higher used on current phones, which means, if your wireless carrier uses BREW, then currently the only way to get games and applications onto your phone is to purchase them from your wireless carrier. In the case of Verizon, this means using Get-It-Now.

How can I get the Verizon phone?

FAQ for the xv6600/PPC-660x - PDAPhoneHome.com
I am one of those people who are just about ready to switch to Sprint, but I have 5 lines and can't change them all at once. The one thing that would keep me with Verizon is being able to buy a decent Blue Tooth phone (that is DECENT, not the V710), now. But none of the stores have even heard of the XV6600. I can't find anything on the Verizon web site either.

edit] Can I activate a MVNO phone on Sprint (or, a Sprint phone on a MVNO)?

Sprint FAQ - PhoneNews.com Knowledge Base
Generally, no. Sprint uses ESN blocking techniques to determine if a phone is a part of the Sprint system or if it is a part of any MVNO system.

Which color fits my Cingular/Verizon/Sprint/Unbranded Treo?

treoantenna.com StoreFront
It is really a matter of personal preference. The gray will look like the original Cingular, Verizon and unbranded Treo 650 antenna. The blue will look like the Sprint Treo 650 antenna and the black will fit the Black Tie version. You can still mix and match the colors to fit your own personal preference.

Will I stop getting a Verizon phone bill?

You will continue receiving a bill from Verizon for your telephone service. You will be billed for your DSL through RadixNet.

edit] Can I activate a non-Sprint CDMA phone on the Sprint network?

Sprint FAQ - PhoneNews.com Knowledge Base
No. Sprint maintains a database of all Electronic Serial Numbers cleared for use on the CDMA network, and will not permit the home location registers to accept serials numbers that are not in the approved list. Some Nextel phones may carry the Sprint logo, these can only be used on the Sprint Nextel iDEN network.

What is cricket ?

Hill Country Trail Runners - FAQ
You get more effect for your time by working the hills, and if you have to rest, then I rest when it is flat... more bang for your buck. During a race, I will only run the downhills and flats, and ease on the uphills. If you plan to run trails, you will eventually run them in the dark. You will eventually learn about flashlights.

How do I remove Verizon Wireless from the display on my phone?

Answers to FAQs
Verizon Wireless has chosen not to allow the elimination of "Verizon Wireless" from your handset's banner to ensure accurate billing in all service areas. Alteration of the banner would create an inaccurate indication of whether or not the handset is accessing the Verizon Wireless or extended home rate network, or if it is roaming off the extended network.

What is a "Sprint"?

Amateur Radio Contesting FAQ
A sprint is a contest where a station that initiates a QSO (for example, by calling "CQ") must change frequency immediately after the QSO, without working any other station on the same frequency. The reason for this is that in normal contests, high powered and rare stations can get a significant advantage by "running" - calling "CQ" and then working stations one after another on the same frequency, which can result in a very high QSO rate.
