Question
Can you activate a Verizon Motorola droid pro on boost mobile? this phone runs on CDMA on the Verizon network but it also has a Sim card slot and came with a Vodafone Sim card.
The SIM slot only works with GSM and the phone will only use the SIM for when you are roaming outside the US. The SIM that a Boost phone needs is iDEN and even though a SIM is just a SIM, the iDEN SIM can only communicate if the phone has a radio antenna to access an iDEN network. This phone does not. Hope this helps.
