Is this phone CDMA-V - does it work primarily with Verizon towers?

Yes, the Straight Talk LG Optimus Showtime L86C is CDMA and is on Verizon towers. We have two of them and they are great.

No, it is only for gsm. AT&T; & T-Mobile are gsm. Verizon and Sprint are cdma. Sorry, most unlocked phones are gsm.

Yes. It will work on T-Mobile, AT&T;, and most carriers throughout the world. It will not work on Verizon and Sprint which use CDMA rather than GSM technology.

A resounding NO ! Only phones licensed by Verizon can be used on that CDMA network . Verizon network software is proprietary and " imbedded " in their handsets .

The way the ATT guy explained it. If its a verizon unlocked phone it will hit only verizon towers and the same with att will only go off att towers. I was also under the inpression it will work on both.

Not sure what you mean. If you refer to using the phone as a computer & Internet device, mine workedwithout a phone card but if you want the cell phone to work you will have to get at least the prepaid cell pone company card. You also need to know this phone works on Verizon towers, meaning you can expect good connections with Straight talk or Net10.

I believe it is CDMA if you're wondering about the carrier. It's verizon. As far as who you call, you can call people with other carriers also. It probably would help if you stated what you wanted to know specifically in your question, so I hope this helps

No this is a sprint phone. You will need to buy a Verizon phone to use on straight talk to use Verizon towers

Hi, Doris,I don't think so. Mine is based on CDMA technology - Code Division Multiple Access - and I believe Verizon, and a couple of other US carriers use CDMA. Do a Google search on the phone and the Sprint network just to be sure. Also, check on eBay, just to see if any are advertised as equipped for other than CDMA networks.

Yes threw the Verizon towers. If Verizon works in you're area straight talk can activate cdma phones using Verizon towers.

No, as an unlocked phone it will only work with GSM Carriers providing their services using a SIM Card, it will not work with CDMA Carriers such as Sprint, Verizon or any other CDMA Carrier.

No. Verizon and Sprint are CDMA. This is a GSM phone which is what AT&T; and T-Mobile and most of the rest of the world use.

This phone would not work on Verizon. Verizon uses CDMA and this phone is based on GSM. It would only work on AT&T & T-mobile.

This phone only works on carrier networks using the GSM standard, for example ATT or T Mobile in the US. Unfortunately it will not work with Verizon in the US, as Verizon uses a different network standard.
