MODERATORS
CDMA is a two+ generation old network technology that’s not supported by any major carriers. Curious why you want a device like this? Pretty sure US Cellular is the only carrier of any significant size with an active CDMA network, and even they have been pretty aggressive about moving customers over to GSM devices since 2022.
Its not that I want it. Its what my carrier uses. I would consider changing, but I'd have to get my family to cone with me.
What carrier?
Verizon. It sounds like they specifically don't have the 13 band.
I think you may want to talk to Verizon and make sure you’re clear on network requirements before you buy a new phone - Verizon shut down the remainder of their CDMA network on December 31, 2022.
Furthermore, Verizon supports LTE and 5G-NR which are GSM technologies, so any modern unlocked phone should work without issues.
Thank you for your response on this. I'll dig in a bit to see if this will work or not.
