unlocked phones
does anyone know if i can use an unlocked iphone, blackberry storm, or a palm pre with us cellular?
...
iphone no (GSM phone) USCC CDMA Service. The other 2 phones should if USCC will allow it. If they do allow it. You'll have to program the phone yourself, you will get no support for phones

US Cellular does not let you use unlocked phones.

some will say you can and some have but as for the pre, if you were to try to call it in they would definatly send you to a store to verify the phone as the esn will be in a totally different range than any of the other uscc phones as we have never carried any palm device.
you may be able to pull the woll over someones eyes on the storm but getting it to work for data would be interesting.

I had a couple in the past that were unlocked phones that I used on USCC. That's why I said you would need to know how to program the phone. If you know how all you do is call customer service tell them in my case I was switching phones. They switch esn# make test call, tell them thank you, enjoy phone. I'm not saying that the phones in this discussion would be successful, but I have had in the past unlock phones that I used with uscc.

I have a USCC PPC6800 that is running the WM6.5 software, so it obviously is not supported by USCC directly any more.

So, at least for any WM device, if you can get them to register the ESN on your number, I can help with the device reprogramming. (For those who are interested, it ended up being a combination of QPST(on computer) and EPST(on the phone).
