boost no, straight talk yes.
the droid 2 is a gsm phone so you will need to find a carrier that is gsm. boost use cdma technology so that will not work with a droid 2.
No, you're wrong. The Droid brand is Verizon's flagship brand and Verizon is a cdma carrier. So the Droid 2 is a cdma phone. You can confirm this here: Motorola DROID 2 specs
You should check around for better devices. Something like an Evo 3D doesn't sell for too much more and would blow a Droid 2 away. Or look for something good that has been flashed over to Boost before so you have tutorials and steps confirmed by other people.
Straight Talk also operates on the Sprint network like Boost. It's Straight talk's bring your own device program that uses the gsm network of AT&T and T-mobile.
So, to narrow my search, im lookin for a phone flashable to boost, and can run the verizon towers. I know the marqee is an option also for that reason alone.
Well i got an evo 3d but i cant seem to root it. if anyone has flashed this phone to boost, please inbox me.. Im in desperate need of assistance.
Im pretty slick with a prevail, but this htc is kickin my tail end!
thx, Dj
Impossible. Boost runs on the native Sprint network. So there is no roaming. No Verizon. You'll have to find a Verizon prepaid MVNO or go to Verizon if you want the Verizon network. You cannot have both.
If Sprint, AT&T, and T-mobile don't work well in your area then also stay away from Straight Talk. That large green coverage map they put over their display phones is for the "dumb" phones that operate on the Verizon network. Straight Talk is a sister company of TracFone, Net10, and the likes. So their "dumb" phones work the same.
Also I believe the Prevail just all-around sucks. My Evo Design gets much better signal than it ever did. But if Sprint really sucks in your area then you should find another provider. Because Boost, Virgin mobile, part of Straight Talk & Net10, and any other MVNO that runs on Sprint will have the same signal.
