Cdma does not come with a sim . The carrier data is burned into the internal chip ,which is soldered to the circuit board . GSM ie tmobile and att have sims since they are gsm .

YUP, CDMA Networks do not support Sim Technolgy.

No , cannot be done . At best you will short out the phone due to different properties of sprint and verizon configurations . IE , sprint burn their PIM in one way and verizon burns their PIM in a different way . At worst you will brick the phone . Seen it happen on a couple of my own verizon 700wx's .

Not a problem . Piece of advice , stay away from verizon ,when it comes to smart phones . Way too much drama when it comes to the service .

I say stay away from Verizon period. Overpriced for what you get. And far from "the most reliable" network, at least in Wisconsin

Ha , you have yet to see NYC or anywhere in Jersey . You go by the water and the signal is gone . It takes about 45 min with any and i do mean any verizon phone to get the signal out there ever if you restart the phone .
