| 663701 | 2008-04-29 20:29:00 | So this won't work? (tech.nztechie.com) Not if you follow the rules - but it looks like that blogger has found a way to bypass the sim lock. But wratterus' original question was about importing an ex-Telstra CDMA phone and getting it connected here. I doubt whether Telecom would connect it, but I guess if you can get a suitable one cheap enough, it might be worth a try.... |

They won't even work on Telecom NZs new GSM network either.. Well now after reading the unlock sequence it may. My mother inlaw has one so I'll wait until turn off day of the CDMA if the fone is still around and try it.. |

| 663703 | 2008-04-29 21:57:00 | I think you'll find that Telecom don't actually have a GSM network in NZ. I believe they are going to W-CDMA rather than GSM here - so your CDMA phone probably has several replacement cycles to go before a simcard-enabled phone will work in NZ on Telecom's network... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 663704 | 2008-04-30 01:53:00 | They're basically the same thing. WCDMA is more about the date side rather than the voice side which is the GSM side.. "To differentiate UMTS from competing network technologies, UMTS is sometimes marketed as 3GSM, emphasizing the combination of the 3G nature of the technology and the GSM standard which it was designed to succeed." |
