cool thanx. I'm going to call sprint and find out for sure. I bought this phone bc I travel a lot and it would pointless if I have to roam with the sprint sim card. I can roam with my treo but its like 2 dollars a minute.

SPRINT branded ip830 isn't locked to any carrier, but VERIZON branded i830 locked to VODAFONE. Have no method to unlock it by now.
