100 Percent Compatibility
The Network Extender is compatible with all Verizon Wireless phones as well as some handsets from many of the nation's leading carriers.
Are they stating it will work with, say, a Sprint phone? I don't know, but it says the word "handset," not network. If I was betting on this I would think it's a reflashed/unlocked CDMA handset you got on Sprint that you're now using on Verizon's network. |

Why not form the leading "manufacturer's?" I thought unlocked at first too, but roaming makes a lot more sense. Especially if they can still charge for it! My guess is they are shipping it in "Open Access" mode for a reason ... |

Lake Zurich, IL | My guess would be, because the marketing drones at Verizon and other carriers don't think customers pay attention to who manufactures a phone, but rather which network a cool new phone is on. Or at least they wish that were the case. |
