Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / July 2005Verizon released the Treo 650 today.
Verizon released the Treo 650 today. A question though. I have both Verizon and TMobile service. I use TMobile for travel to Europe with a SonyErricson T610. As I understand it the Treo uses a SIM card. Is it possible to take out the Verizon SIM and replace it with the TMobile SIM and use the phone with TMobile and vice-versa? How would one go about doing this since TMobile does not carry the 650 and according to their rep they have no plans to carry it.

This phone is probably "locked" so that it will only work with Verizon SIM cards. I know this holds true for the Treo 650 being sold by Cingular. However, for about $20 to $30, you can have it "unlocked" so that it will take any SIM card. this phone will work with GSM and CDMA after being unlocked? I didn't know CDMA even had SIM cards... >> Verizon released the Treo 650 today. >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >However, for about $20 to $30, you can have it "unlocked" so that it will >take any SIM card. > Verizon released the Treo 650 today. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > How would one go about doing this since TMobile does not carry the 650 > and according to their rep they have no plans to carry it. There are two Treo 650 models. The one using a SIM is the quadband GSM model. The one Verizon (and Sprint) have is a dualband CDMA model, no SIM allowed.Visit http://www.palmone.com/ . John C. The phone released by Verizon is different that the same phone from other carriers. The Verizon model is CDMA only and does not have a SIM Card that can be taken out and changed. Bruce D.

Impossible. Verizon (and Sprint) uses a different technology than other carriers. It's called CDMA and (at least in the US implementation) does NOT use a SIM card. If you want to use a GSM phone you'll need to get the phone from Cingular or T-Mobile. (I don't think T-Mobile has the 650 yet, but at least it uses GSM with a SIM card.) The two phones (Treo 650- CDMA and Treo 650-GSM) are very different and are not interchangable. No, The Verizon model is totally different that the T-Mobile version. The Verizon model uses CDMA technology while the T-Mobile uses GSM technology. There is not a sim card in the Verizon phone to change or replace. In other words the answer is "NO." Bruce D.
