    CDMA phones are not available unlocked. Only GSM phones can be unlocked. CDMA phones are always locked to the carrier that is branded to the phone. Even if some techie were able to removed the restrictions on the actual device, your CDMA carrier wouldn't activate it since the ESN isn't in the ESN database. The network won't recognize it.
