This may be a dumb question but I've been trying to figure this out forever and I just need an answer!
I'm trying to use my Razr M (currently on PagePlus) on RingPlus, which is on the Sprint network. I know that Sprint and Verizon are both CMDA + LTE, but I know that they use different bands and that the Razr M is listed as having only the 700 (band 13) MHz for LTE, which Sprint does not support.
But, what I don't know is if the band support is a hardware or a software thing. I know there are guides to unlock the Razr M for GSM; could something similar be done to unlock it for Sprint?
Basically I want to know if the Razr M has the innate ability to work on the Sprint network, and if not, if that ability could be added or flashed or whatever.
There's also the matter of entering the IMEI of the Razr M on RingPlus's website. It tells me the device is incompatible.
Are they telling me this because the device itself is actually incompatible or do they just not want to deal with explaining the possibility of very complicated tweaking to make it work?
OR is there some list somewhere with my Razr's IMEI on it that says that it is a Verizon phone and that only Verizon/Verizon MVNOs can have it? And if so, how would one go about getting it off that list?
I appreciate any help. I'd really like to get this to work, but more importantly I would just like to understand what is going on here.
Thank you!
