Q. ok so im thinking about switching out my iphone 4 for the samsung galaxy note for my b-day , but i have verizon unfortunately , and the galaxy note is at&t :P , but i was wondering what exactly it means to have an "unlocked phone" , i no it means u can choose a different carrier and not having to choose one , so can u like switch back in fourth with 2 different carriers , and if so wich carriers can the note be used on ?
A. If your Samsung Galaxy Note is unlock it means you can use it with any GSM network carrier that uses a sim card. The only other GSM network carrier that uses sim cards would be T-Mobile. So if you had a unlock Samsung Galaxy Note then you can use it with T-Mobile.
Verizon is not a GSM network carrier but uses CDMA network and does not use any sim cards. So you won't be able to use a unlock Samsung Galaxy Note on Verizon Network.
So technically a unlock Samsung Galaxy Note would work with either A T&T and T-Mobile.

Can a Samsung Galaxy s4 be unlocked to work on Cspire?
Q. I'd like to buy a Samsung Galaxy s4 but due to complications in my data plan, I can't buy a phone from Cspire. I have to buy it used from Ebay, Craigslist, etc. I'm a big computer nerd so if it can be done I can probably figure it out, but I'm inexperienced in the realm of cell phone unlocking. Thanks in advance! :)
A. C Spire is CDMA network
The Samsung S IV is only available so far for Verizon model SGH-I545.
CDMA phones are not unlocked as there is no lock.
Locking is only on GSM HANDSETS which have sim cards, a locked handset will only accept a simcard which is the same as the network it was ORIGINALLY supplied to.
The sim card in a GSM phone is the most important component the handset itself...... dressing. The simcard is what connects to the network.
CDMA handsets require activation by the network so they can be used ON the network, there is no lock
So if a network activated a handset it could be used. I believe that C Spire would not or could not activate s Verizon handset. If that is the case You could not use it.
Finally CDMA handsets get bad ESN. GSM uses BLOCKING whereby if the handset IMEI is registered on a database as reported lost or stolen it has the same effect as a bad ESN, the phone cannot be used on any network.
A sim card is essentially a phone number which the network controls add to that the handset IMEI, so you can use any unlocked handset on any network, all you need is to that is to have a pre pay sim card. If the handset IMEI is reported lost or stolen and appears on that "database" it can't be used ever on any network and you may have a valid simcard but NO handset to use
