2. I already answered this question, but here I become again. Of the major carriers, just Verizon Wireless (VZW) volition activate a not-supported phone. Sprint will not, and I repeat, will not activate a phone that they practise not sell (or never sold). Moreover, those Korean phones support merely the 850Mhz band and Sprint is a PCS (1900MHz-only) carrier. Sure, Sprint has roaming agreements that allow their customers to roam on 850Mhz carriers, but their entire native network is 1900Mhz-just. On the other mitt, about of VZW's network is 850MHz. In fact, wirelessimports.com sells the verbal same phone for VZW, be information technology at a higher toll. I believe they activate information technology for you too, only don't quote me on the last point.

5. I institute your argument to be extremely ignorant, "inteller." Fifty-fifty sans the ignorance, information technology was simply overall stupid. Telling you how and why it'due south stupid isn't worth it in my opinion, though.

   Samsung is releasing a variant of the S250 for Sprint before the finish of the twelvemonth, merely as they promised. It will likely have a screen downgraded from sixteen.1 million colors, simply it's still basically the same handset.

10. The Korean Cellular band is 850 MHz, as in North America. But the Korean PCS ring is 1700 MHz, not 1900 MHz as in N.A. Neither VZW -- whose network is a jumble of Cellular 850 MHz & PCS 1900 MHz -- nor Sprint -- whose network (at this moment) is entirely 1900 MHz -- will activate the incompatible Korean PCS handset, despite its Cellular 850 MHz adequacy.

    He was trying to brand some try to say that Koreans need loftier-cease phones to make up for supposed "small living atmospheric condition".

    What? I know many VZW customers that accept activated Korean phones recently. I did I when I was a VZW customer. It has go increasingly painful and difficult to do so, just people practise all the time. In fact, wirelessimports (not the site, but the user and possessor of the site) is a member of HoFo and he tin dorsum me up on that.
