well im not sure where you got that from but its bogus. Know this, its a verizon phone and being such it does run on the same bands cricket does, try to get your phone specs from a reputable source like phonescoop.com, contrary to popular belief not everything on the internet is true

here is the specs for that phone ----> [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Good morning ppl & Rich one more question about kyocera brigadier: if I want to use it only for voice and text, does it need to insert ruim/sim card or it's flashable via cdma workshop. Usually, Most verizon devices are flashable and sim card is just for 3g/4g data. There is same situation with this device? Does it work without ruim/sim card?
