About LinkBacksI bought a droid on ebay that was supposedly "unlocked" but I cannot seem to figure out how to activate it. Is it even possible to unlock a droid for use with other phone companies?

12-07-2009 05:50 PMI'm not a expert on this, but to my understanding that would be for phones that have SIM cards and the droid doesn't so i would say No. once again just guessing...

12-07-2009 05:51 PMWhat carrier are you trying to activate it on?
An "unlocked" phone usually takes a SIM card and is unlocked for international travel.

12-07-2009 05:55 PMThe DROID is not a "world" phone and therefore does not have a SIM card slot.
It will only work on a CDMA network (probably only Verizon). -

12-07-2009 05:58 PMThis is correct...
The Motorola Milestone is the GSM version of the DROID so therefore if you were to buy a Milestone it would have a SIM card slot and when unlocked it should work on AT&T's network. Based on the radio frequency you may or may not be able to use AT&T's 3G network.
Note this is not definitely, just my best guess. -

12-07-2009 06:05 PMI just checked ebay and typed in "unlocked motorola droid" and most of the results said unlocked motorola milestone, so most likely u have the milestone. look back at ur auction to make sure. I reccomend asking the buyer for a refund due to an inaccurate description if it says "motorola droid" and doesn't say milestone anywhere. Since thats not what you paid for you could contact ebay (after trying the seller ofcourse) and they will get u your money back.
