You can't.... tmobile is on a GSM network, sprint is CDMA. They are incompatible

You can't the t-mobile version is indeed a world phone but only operate on gsm frequencies. Where as the CDMA verison of the TP2 have both CDMA and GSM radios that could work on several networks once unlocked. Hope this helps.

ahh, that's what i thought and thank you very much for your guys' responses.

but i thought this phone was a hybrid phone..

so maybe the verizon one would work? just trying to get the tp2 cheaper than $400 :'(

The verizon version will work on t-mobile and at&t, and so will the sprint one when it get unlocked (hopefully). Both of those are hybrid phones the t-mobile one isn't

It would take some work to get a Verizon phone on the Sprint network since Verizon hasn't started to unlock their phones for other CDMA networks. And if you are trying to buy a Verizon phone without a contract then you are going to have to pay full price for the phone.

Wrong. All verizon phones ship with the SPL unlock code as 000000. That is well known, and thus allows the phone to be easily unlocked for service programming. They can be easily reprogrammed, but Sprint would have to allow the foreign MEID on their network, and that is something they generally do not do.

Generally is an understatement - Sprint won't let you on their network if they didn't sell the phone originally.
