Has any SPRINT user paid for and tried the Oli-Pro SIM Card unlocker? - Page 2

Just picked it up - worked quite well. RUU hung on 97% for a bit loading the radio but completed.

The GUI is quite easy to use. Will test with a prepaid SIM sometime this week most likely.

So what exactly does it do? As far as I understood, the Sprint SIM wasn't locked, it just wouldn't use US GSM towers. Does their software affect the radio, or what? How exactly does it work?

The software unlocks the SIM as well as applies a patched radio so that US GSM carriers can be used as well as different radios flashed (if so desired).

Ok, gotcha--so, without the additional unlocker, can other radios not be flashed? I was under the impression that the only "lock" on Sprint's SIM was the radio--that the SIM itself was not carrier-locked, but that the phone's radio simply refused to pick up any cell tower with a US-GSM code.

Have you tried your IMEI number? Located under settings/ Device Information.

I have not tried just wondering...

sprint SIM unlocker works perfectly....for both AT&T and T-Mobile!

Worked fine for me as well, haven't been able to try an actual T-Mobile or AT&T SIM though at this point. I was able to see both networks however.
