Unlocking gsm devices

Back on the topic of nokia and GSM phones in general. Most people would expect that the phone they own will work on any GSM network. That is actually not the case. All providers lock the phones to their specific network so, even though you own the phone, you can't switch services easily by purchasing a new sim card. Additionally it prevents the use of prepaid regional sims favored by international travelers.

I'll help unlock phones for free. Google around and see that most sites charge for unlocking. You can download the software for free and mess up your phone if not careful.

Verizon == CDMA. It's doubtful they will warp existing networks to GSM.
