[WPCentral Question]

I'm looking forward to getting the Lumia 830, but I'm wondering if any of the variants would work on Sprint. I don't know much about bands so an easy to understand answer would be preferable.

With CDMA carriers like Sprint and Verizon, for the most part outside phones won't work on the network. Period. Different technology.

Darthbobcat speaks the truth. Sprint and VZW use a different wireless technology than most of the world, meaning most phones wont function on their networks. A good rule of thumb is that Sprint branded phones are needed to work on Sprint, and the same for Verizon. Its possible for phones to work between those two IIRC, but its restricted bythe carriers
