How to Unlock a Casio g'Zone Ravine 2 cell phone
[Music]
hello this is Sergey dried chef and I
have here my verizon G zone arriving to
phone from Casio and a while back I did
a review of this phone and I'm totally
satisfied with this make and model it's
a really decent phone and a lot of
people are asking me if it's possible to
unlock this phone because this is a
global phone and it has it supports both
CDMA and GSM GSM technology in just this
morning I got an email from my YouTube
viewer in Russia who asked me the same
question so I started looking into this
and now 10 minutes later I have this
phone unlocked so I can use it anywhere
in the world where GSM or CDMA
technology is supported no actual CDMA
is still locked like one trick and why
why I couldn't do it before was that you
cannot actually unlock a purely CDMA
phone because the the authorization of
the phone is done through the software
on the providers end there's nothing you
can do on the phone itself to modify
that like to unlock right unless it's a
GSM phone because where GSM phones that
locking is done on the phone level so
anyway I just went on a trip to Russia
about a month ago in January 2012 and I
called Verizon Wireless and the ref said
no you cannot you cannot unlock it you
only have to use the SIM card already
pre-installed because it's locked and
the rate for Russia was like 399 per
minute like totally ridiculous so I
ended up going there and just using my
brother's phone with the local SIM card
but now after this viewer asked me again
about this you know I started thinking
and I called Verizon again and actually
now I managed to you know what I did the
key point here to unlock to unlock the
Verizon Wireless the Casio G zone Ravine
to phone is to know what questions to
ask first
it takes it takes very little time and
all you need is you call the customer
service and you tell them that you want
to speak to someone at global technical
support and you explain to them that you
want to unlock your SIM card you want to
be able to use it with an international
carrier without using the SIM card
that's already inside because the phone
comes from the dealer already with us
there Verizon Wireless SIM card print
store but if you use that SIM card you
know you'll have to sell your house your
car and probably I don't know oh you're
all the belongings in your house too but
so here's what I did this morning I
called customer service I explained what
I wanted the transfer me to global
technical support global technical
support lady said that of course we
don't do it on a regular basis because
naturally they're losing money right if
I'm using someone else's SIM card
Verizon Wireless doesn't get a cent of
that so that's why I didn't know their
size they have two qualifications for
you so first of all your account with
Verizon must have been active for at
least 60 days and the second
qualification is is that it should be in
boot your account should be in good
standing so if you're being you know
late on making your payments they might
just say no so make sure you you meet
these two correct criteria sixty days
minimum
stay with Verizon and good standing of
the account so after that they also they
send you a little agreement or contract
kind of a legal thing by your email and
but also she basically you don't you do
not need to read that before the
unlocking is done
I just basically the lady on the phone
will tell you or the guy on the phone
will tell you that once you install the
same the same from another provider you
should not call them if you have any
problems like any kind of signal
problems or or technical support you
should you should address to your to the
new provider whoever you buy that SIM
card from so basically Verizon Wireless
that you know we have nothing once you
unlock it we have nothing to do with the
same part of your you know like you said
what from Verizon right and then she's
asking you she will ask you for an
alternate number that she can call you
on so that she can help you with the
program in your phone and let's say I'm
staying at a hotel here so I gave her my
hotel phone number and she called me and
I it was not like into a zoo once you
have the customer service rep on the
phone and you're talking on another
phone she'll just help you unlock the
phone basically right then and there so
you go into settings and then phone
settings okay and number eight is
security but number nine is same
security and that's what you want so you
enter the security code normally it's
the last four digits of your but after
the other number there'll be an
unlocking menu there and the customer
rep on the phone basically just tells
you what to put in and then you click OK
and that's it you're done so you'll see
the message saying that your phone is
unlocked so that's how easy it is and
the only other thing that you have to do
is in the same phone settings here
there's the system select menu number 11
and you have just to make sure that the
network mode is set to global it can be
CDMA GSM but it should be global because
this phone is smart enough to know which
word network is CDMA which network is
GSM and that's it so once you do that
your phone is ready to be used anywhere
GSM signal is is available so this was
surrogate directive and I hope this
little video will help some people save
a whole bunch of money when the travel
overseas be safe and enjoy your new
capabilities of the Casio G zone ravine
2 phone
