Mifi 4620L SIM unlock?

Is the MiFi 4620L SIM unlocked for use outside the US with HSPA GSM networks?

I know some of the verizon global phones can be used with foreign sim card outside the US and wanted to check if this was the case for the 4620L as well.

Tech support is not sure if it is SIM unlocked. One person said that all their global devices are unlocked for use outside the US and another tech support rep said that it won't work and then states he is not sure and will need to look into this further.

Anyone have any solid info?

From the specs, it appears that the Mifi 4620L has the necessary radio bands to work overseas on the GSM network. I would suggest calling Global Services under the customer support number at 1-800-922-0204.

Thanks. I called and they don't have any knowledge if the mifi is SIM unlocked or not.

I was hoping maybe someone from VZW will be able to reply here.

It is likely that it is not currently unlocked. Verizon sells their global ready devices as SIM locked. You have to requested that it be SIM unlocked and you have to meet certain requirements before they will approve the request.

The paperwork that came with mine states that it is shipped locked, but that you need to call Global Services in order to unlock it prior to use.

I have 90026536R.2 in the box that was shipped to me and it doest say anyhting about SIM lock status or VZ unlocking it.

I would call *611 and ask to xferred to global tech. Customer Care might give you some kickback at first but just ask them nicely to xfer you, Global tech will know exactly whats up with your issue.
