Re: <SPRINT> SIM Card question
If I dont like sprints prices then, I would need it to say, rent a sim card there and use it, correct?

Re: <SPRINT> SIM Card question
You do not need to unlock your phone. Sprint is Sim-unlocked. meaning any sim will work with the phone. Sprint is Radio Locked to restrict use of the US based GSM towers. Since you are going to Japan then you can pick up a card there or use the Sprint service... You only need to Sim-unlock the Sprint phone if you want to unlock the radio for use on the US based GSM towers with a US GSM carrier.
Hope this sheds some light. James |

Re: <SPRINT> SIM Card question
Ok, just make sure I have this straight.
Sprint TP2 works in other countries (specifically Japan) Sprint TP2 is unlocked as far as using another countries SIM card. So I dont *need* to buy the OliPro Simcard unlocker. So Essentially i am good to go without having to change anything. So this brings another question... Is there an advantage to unlocking the US GSM radio? |

Re: <SPRINT> SIM Card question
You can always buy a pre-paid sim card and use U.S. GSM network, but you have you buy one or have a service with one.

Re: <SPRINT> SIM Card question
From my understanding This is true. It will work in another country with their sim card. There was another post on here that proved that it worked in no US countries.
As far as the benifits for being Sim Unlocked for sprint is you can use the Unlocked radio where you can lets say put in a T-Mobile sim or At&T sim and use the US towers. Why you would want to do this not a reason at this time that I can think of except Prepaid sims here in the US just in case you cancel your account forget your bill ect you can buy a prepaid sim and use it. Me personally I dont plan on travelling out of the country any time soon. Wont ever switch to or use GSM towers. IMO there really is no point. James |

Re: <SPRINT> SIM Card question
Why would I want to do that, or are saying that for japan. Sorry if I seem like a noob. Well.. I guess I am a noob as far as GSM and international stuff goes. First time ive had a phone that would do it, and first time Im traveling internationally.
