Forum Cell Phones & Smartphones : Convert GSM to CDMA

Word :    Username :           
 

I am with Alltel that changed to Verizon and I bought a phone off e-bay detailing it was an Altell phone with CDMA network. I didn't know. I went down to Verizon because I couldn't transfer the information from the old phone and they told me that some how this phone was put on a GSM network with AT&T. How do I change it back to CDMA and get it working with Verizon?

You can't. GSM and CDMA operate on completely different hardware. You have to have the proper radio installed for it to work. Sorry mate. :(
