Asus Zenfone 2

[Chrisis429]

Hey guys!

 

So I've been trying my best to do as much homework as humanly possible on the Zenfone 2. Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy S5, and it's pretty well fucked. -excuse my language- but I have Verizon for one more month, then I'm switching to AT&T, but I'd like to purchase the Zenfone 2 now. I've seen a few things that said people could get the Zenfone 2 to work with Verizon 4g, but no other bands, and from the looks of it the phone supports all the Verizon bands in the US. Does anyone have a Zenfone 2 that could try this? Has anyone tried this and know the result? PLEASE help me out. I'm ordering it no matter what, but I just wanna know if it'll work here on the Verizon 4g bands! Thanks.

Zenfone dosen't work with verizon?

[Chrisis429]

Yeah, Asus states it right on their page "This device is not compatible with CDMA Networks such as: Verizon, Sprint, and US Cellular."

but whats the problem? are you asking if in theory the zenfone 2 will work with verizon services?

[Chrisis429]

Yes, I want to know if I can use it for a month until I can switch carriers. It doesn't need to be perfect, all I need is like call/text.

I'm just curious because Verizon's 4g network isn't CDMA, so could it work?
