Motorola V710
Unlocked phone?
I am VERY new to this, so please be patient. I am looking at buying a V710 off of ebay. My carrier is Cellular One. They don't offer a V710. They said that if I can find one on ebay that is a Verizon phone and unlocked, that it will probably work on their system (I just need to take it to a local Cellular One sales office and they will flash it). There is one that I am looking at on ebay that is brand new, still in box, and has never been activated (it is a Verizon phone). The seller doesn't know if it is unlocked or not. If it is still in the box and has never been activated, would it be unlocked? Or could it be locked even if it's new in box and has never been activated? Please help!!

Cell One wouldn't be able to flash it because they don't have the software. If you want the V710 you will have to go with Verizon, Altell, etc.

Cellular One's Web site says they use both CDMA and TDMA. It doesn't say anything about GSM.

Cellular One's tech support said that they do have V710's on their network - it's just a matter of finding one that will work with their network because they don't sell them. I also talked to the local Cellular One sales office, and they said that they do have the software to flash this phone. I would just like to know if a phone is new in the box and has never been activated, does this mean that it i...
