Re: how to offically unlock verizon tp2 sim for gsm use
One thing I forgot to mention in my above post is that when she took the IMEI off the Imagio and plugged it into their account setup it didn't work. Then she noticed that the VZW IMEI was 17 characters long and she said that TMO's were only 15. She just plugged in the first 15 characters instead of all 17 and it worked fine. I plugged the TMO sim into my Imagio, switched from Global to GSM and placed a call.
One thing to know is that in Global mode the phone will grab whichever signal is stronger, so if you live in an area that has weaker VZW signals and you are right under a TMO tower the phonen will go to GSM. Not good for my needs. I know keep the phone switched to CDMA only and don't worry about that. I don't give out my TMO number, just my GV number and if a call comes in on that number then I get a text on my VZW number and I know I have a call.
That works for me just fine but YMMV.
