    I got my blackberry bold unlocked from www.usedphoneforsale.com. They sent me the unlock code super fast and the price was the cheapest I found. And may I add, the customer service is phenomenal! I am a happy www.usedphoneforsale.com customer who wants to spread the word about their awesome service!

    Thanks,

    Does it work for CDMA network (NTTDocomo of Japan)?
    And the unlocked Bold can be used for another CDMA network?

    Thanks a lot.

    Not sure.. I recall cdma being a lot more tricky since they run on different frequencies.
