Only if the Handset is RUIM based and it is being sold only in New zeeland and China.

In USA no Handset is sold as RUIM Based.

Thank you Patel. But is it possible to use those phones in India?

I think requirements are that the phone is unlocked and compatible with the frequency band of the new carrier. How we can check frequency band?

Thanks in advance

you can use cdma handsets from abroad(800mhz only) on Tata, Bsnl(Tarang) and Mtnl(Garuda) network,u just have to program the cdma channels to whichever network u want to use it.

For Tata u need to load Tata's prl on the handset to use it while roaming,whereas Bsnl and Mtnl dont offer roaming on their cdma networks so no prl is required for them.For Tata u just have to program it and load a gsk available in the market,whereas for Mtnl and Bsnl u have to program it and give them the esn no to have it updated on their database.Unfortunately Reliance does not allow other handsets even from other Indian networks,so forget using handsets from abroad on Reliance network.

Are u saying that BSNL and TATA will register the ESN of an unlocked handheld? If so, what phone number would you program into your cell?

In addition, where can one find the rest of the parameters, including the channel frequencies, SID NID etc.
