I was wondering if there was any way I could use the new Voyage phone with the T-Mobile network?
...
Not a chance. They are built for two totally different networks (GSM and CDMA). You don't like the sidekick? the voyager and the sidekick are pretty similar.
...
I might go with the sidekick. Thanks for the info.

Absolutely. you would have to unscrew your phone open to reveal all of those wires and chips. Afterwards, replace the CDMA chipset with a GSM chipset. Oh yeah, I think you have to make sure the motherboard is compatible. Once you do all of the rewiring and replace the incompatible parts with compatible parts, you may have to upload a compatible operating system and reprogram the phone so it can recognize the tmobile network. and i think it goes without saying that if you mess up your phone will be f'd.
so bottom line ... no. the voyager will not work. CDMA phones will not work on GSM networks.
Can you put diesal fuel in a car that only takes unleaded fuel and have it work properly?
...
I think u gave him the long way. All he/she has to do is take your sidekick, unscrew it and take all the internal parts out and put it into a voyager shell... yeah no heres the catch... U wont have the touch screen nor none of the voyager's features. But u will have the sidekick's features in the voyager so u can tell everybody that u have the Limited Edition Voyager... 🤣

Voyage phone? 🤨 Who makes it? That sounds like a hot phone. I know LG makes a V-O-Y-A-G-E-R.
Sure it'll work once you get pass that whole CDMA-GSM, MEID-SIM Card issue. Piece of cake...
...
wow guys. way to make complete a$$es of yourselves. so a cust comes in with a somewhat legit question and all you can do is make sarcastic replies that make them feel like a complete idiot. not everyone knows what GSM and CDMA are, which one their carrier uses or anything like that. The OP saw a cool phone they liked and wanted to know if there was a way to make it work on another network. CWcanty gave them the simple honest answer of no. thats all that was needed. no wonder custies hate coming here. 🙄
...
it was just a lil joke ☹️ , now I feel so bad ☹️
...
to you it was a joke, heck to me it was a joke because i know better, but the customer prolly didnt
...
