Really?

I think he's just trying to promote something here. Note the links on his website.

Verizon and Sprint radios are identical. The issue is neither will accept the other's phones. Can but won't.

I call BS too because of the shitty links and scams his website sends you too.

while it is technically possible to get a verizon phone to work on sprint and vice versa, it will never happen. Both companies maintain a database with all of the IMEIs associated with their phone lineup. As soon as you punch in the Iphone IMEI Sprint will reject it. Same for Verizon and Sprint phones.

I have a Verizon Pre2 working on Sprint. Of course, I had to yank out the comm board of my old Sprint Pre to make it work..
