Help VM Intercept - How to use abroad?

[plexoofd]

Hi all,

I have bought a Virgin Mobile Intercept during my stay in the US, and would like to use it here in Europe (Belgium). I did not yet activate the phone (I used my old cell in the States for the time I was there).

Will it be possible to activate the CDMA locally, or will VM not allow it? VM is not active in Belgium, only thru a partner.

I have been searching the net for a while, but it seems I can't find the right information.

Thanks in advance.

The Intercept is not a world phone, it's CDMA only. For the most part, CDMA is in the America's, Asia and a bit of Africa, but is very limited in Europe. AFAIK, there is no CDMA coverage in Belgium. Your best bet would be to sell it and use the proceeds to buy a GSM device.

...Would a "world" device work?
