I am thinking the answer is "no" because those networks are cdma and not gsm, right? (for US phones).

That should work Verizon and Sprint use the same CDMA. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM.

Anyone tried the unlock yet?

Yes, unlocked an AT&T Pixi Plus yesterday via Nextgen Servers.

This is the first solution that actually works as advertised. Tried two others, one from eBay, the other UnlockallCellular. Both refunded my money after a week or so.

CDMA is a whole different ballgame.

Maybe I'm missing something. I thought that this would work on both the Pixi and Pixi Plus. Their link seems to say so.

Now I cant see why anyone would want to unlock a normal Pixi from Sprint to Verizon when you could get a Verizon Pixi dirt cheap. Now the other way around would be great a WIFI Pixi on Sprint.

As to your question to what should work. You should be able to unlock a Sprint or Verizon to work on either network as both are CMDA. As I know you can use an unlocked Pre on both AT&T or T-Mobile as I have an unlocked AT&T Pre+.

But I know from your posts you know a lot more about this then I.

EDIT--- Sorry stand corrected. I did not know you could do this with a Sprint phone.

Got my Pixi UNLOCKED after more Meta-Doctoring it.

worx great.

i_maq · 08/24/2010, 06:51 AM

Works well by the way, as advertised, pretty straight forward.

jvilly92 · 08/24/2010, 05:33 PM

what can you do when u unlock it

i_maq · 08/25/2010, 02:08 AM

It lets you use any network sim in your phone.

Bella Vapor · 08/26/2010, 01:47 PM

This is going to be a really dumb question but what does unlocking the Pixi do?

i_maq · 08/26/2010, 01:49 PM

Bella, read the post before yours.

Bella Vapor · 08/26/2010, 02:09 PM

got it...it wasn't there when I posted lol. We must have all posted at the same time. One more question what does "use any network sim in your phone" mean?

i_maq · 08/26/2010, 02:19 PM

Actually i posted that yesterday morning but anyway, it means if you buy a phone that's locked a specific network, i.e. T-mobile, and you want to use it on another network then the unlock lets you do that, useful if you want a phone that isn't for sale on the network you want.

Bella Vapor · 08/26/2010, 02:26 PM

Oh ok...so no need for me to unlock my phone since I'm with Sprint and it's a Sprint phone.

i_maq · 08/26/2010, 02:34 PM

Exactly

jiuzhege · 08/26/2010, 03:55 PM

Don't know if it is possible to get the code from carrier...
