unlocking cell phones?

[Gan]

Does anyone know about 'unlocking' cell phones so they can be used with different services?

I have a sprint PCS plan which I'm completely satisfied with yet the selection of phones they have to offer their customers SUCK.

I'd like to purchase an 'unlocked' Motorla Razor or equivalent, which is not offered through Sprint, and have my existing number/service ported over to it.

Anyone know how this process works and if Sprint will tell me to sod off if I bring in a non-sprint phone to hook up?

Thanks.

Just go to one of the Sprint cellphone stores and they will do the rest. They did it with mine, something with sychronizing the chip in the back of the phone.

I've been through my share of hell when it comes to purchasing an "unlocked" phone just to find out that I couldn't use it through the carrier I wanted all along. I would highly recommend you call the customer service line to make certain that you can use whatever phone you plan on purchsing through their company. It will save you time and energy in the long run.
