Anyway, vodafone passport works well with gsm-gsm networks but what about the USA?
I know that Vodafone owns 44% of Verizon. Does vodafone have the passport program in the US as well? If so do I need a dual-mode CDMA/GSM handset to make it work?
Also can I top-up by using verizon's FreeUp cards?
Any ideas? 
(and when will vodafone take over and convert them to UMTS? :P :P :P) |
Haha that's a real funny one. Vodafone buying the rest of verizon and converting them to GSM. my main phone is GSM (cingular
only a couple more months to go) until i move to t-mobile and get a prepaid verizon for those places with no service. But verizon the main company that owns verizon wireless is very monopolistic they hate competition in the local phone market and a local competetior (Cavalier) had to get the PUC and lawyers involved for fair access due to the 1996 leigislation that allowed competitors to use the main companys wiring and central offices.
