No they do use some cards but they're not the Ones that you can easily take out of the phone and take your phone to another carrier. Their phones are all locked their network whether you try to get them unlocked or not. Joseph Hudson Email jhud7...@gmail.com I device

I think eventually, everything will be LTE which will use a sim card, and CDMA will be phased out, but it will be a while before that happens. Even with LTE, not all providers use that for voice communications yet. Once they do, voice calls will be similar to using skype or other voip

I think with Sprint and Verizon, it's kind of both. You have the sim for data on LTE, but yet you have CDMA for the voice part or for areas that have no LTE available. I think the phones can be more easily switched though as they have to unlock if you aren't under contract or on an installment

I wonder if this service uses a sim ccard or if the serial number for the account is stored in the phone itself. I would never want a service that does not use a sim card as it does not allow you to easily switch phones on the fly. Original message: Hello Everyone, Sprint announced it is

One thing to keep in mind with Sprint is that it's CDMA. Personally, I'm never doing another Sprint branded phone. GSM or even a Verizon phone that can also be used on GSM networks. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of M.

I think they are all unlockable now after the contract or payment plan are paid off. I think Verizon is as much CDMA as Sprint is. Sprint is a decent value for the money though, at least around here. There are places where it doesn't work so well, but that problem probably exists with everyone.

Realize that the only iPhone that can use an LTE Plus network described in the Sprint offer is the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Other iPhones cannot take advantage of the faster speeds or the extended coverage range. kelly On 11/20/15, Paul Ferrara wrote: > Please explain what
