Win a worthless CDMA mobile!
Yes, we’ve pulled out all the stops over at gadget zone to obtain a brilliant slightly used Kyocera KOI CDMA mobile phone to give away!

This is a mobile that money just can’t buy anymore. It comes packed with a 1.2MP camera, 16MB of internal memory, a number pad and a chunky antenna. Amazingly, there’s also a colour screen.

I'll take 100 CDMA handsets on a Jetstar plane to Thailand please

**astro_boy** · 04-05-08, 07:34 PM

You've only got NextG, 3G and GSM now.
Pretty sure there is 0% of cdma as telstra was the only one running that.

**roguefan99** · 04-05-08, 10:52 PM

Arent the US still running CDMA for one of their carriers, maybe flog them over there!

Cant remember which carrier it is, but I'm pretty sure one does.

Update: It was Verizon, also Sprint uses it

I can confirm a sprint cdma (pcs) phone works in thailand on hutch, as does a telstra cdma.

but you won't get a non usa cdma phone connected to any network in the usa (same as telstra used to be with cdma).

hutch in thailand, nio problem. you can buy a hutch thailand prepaid starter pack to connect any cdma phone(assuming it is not locked).
