A user from China needs your help!!!

Hi, my name is Vincent Liu, and I live in China.

Recently, I bought a Samsung Droid Charge from US by Ebay.However, when I put a SIM issued by China Mobile into the cellphone, it dosen't work. It seems that the communication network is locked and it cannot receive the signals sent by China Mobile. I wonder would anybody please provide me an available solution?

Looking forward to kind replies.Thanks a lot!

The Droid Charge is not a global phone. The SIM card in the Charge is not for voice calls, but strictly for the Verizon 4G data network.

I don't think that there is anything which can be done to unlock the phone for you.

The only phones which Verizon CURRENTLY sells which are global ready can be located HERE.

1-800-711-8300 , but I don't think it will help you with your Charge.

This is correct, Verizon uses CDMA and China uses GSM technology so there is no way to make that work...
