    I am going to by an Nokia E75 phone from Newegg.com because I hate dealing with sales people. the phone is unlocked, which is legal according to this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080325121255AAx89i9

    on the phones details page which is found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875205151

    it makes no mention of a contract.

    with that infomation, can the phone be used with Verizon's "unlimited talk" plan, found here:

    Thank you for reading

    It will not work because to my knowledge Verizon is a CDMA network and that is a GSM phone. You could use it with Cingular, ATT, and TMobile.

    Cingular offers a unlimited calling plan for $65.
