I got a refurb tp2 in place of my tp1 from Sprint. But, mine did not come with the sim card. I now have this annoying white icon at the top of the screen. Do you think Sprint will send me one? Or is there any way to get rid of this? Do i really need one?

You don't NEED one unless you are going out of the country. But it's worth a try... Call sprint or better yet. Go into a corporate store they usually are the most helpful.

Thanks for the info, but do think there is a fix to get rid of the icon?

so, say you bought the phone from Sprint at full price and are not under a contract. Can you unlock the phone and then jump over to t-mobile GSM networks?

Could that be a stuck pixel or is it actually an icon?
