Hi All, I am curious regarding phones which are being sold for low prices on sites like Ebay in United States labeled as Bad ESN. What i have read so far is that a Bad ESN phone cannot be used in the same country as the carrier will Blacklist the ESN to be used in US. However, many users have confirmed that they were able to use the device outside the country. I wish if someone can clarify few questions based on the same topic. I apologize if some of these questions seems dumb as i don't have a better understanding of things when it comes to CDMA.
1. Is it possible to use such phones in a different country
2. If one can use it in a different country would that only apply to Global phones or any CDMA device
3. Is it even possible to get the MEID registered with a CDMA carrier in India for such phones
4. If its a Global phone with Bad ESN, can it be used for both CDMA and GSM or only GSM
Will appreciate if someone can help me with above questions.
