To get your phone working correctly you need to first SIM unlock the phone so that you can use another company's sim card in it. (it's currently locked to Sprint SIM card.)

1. To accomplish this you need to get HardSPL installed on the phone which can be grabbed from: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=93252.
2. Then you need to get the Radio Unlocker from here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=93865 (read the thread for installing the correct radio patch for Sprint phones.)
3. Then you need to install a ROM other than the nasty sprint on you have on there! :P (i would try http://mightyrom.com)

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

he doesn't need the sim unlock since he's using it outside the US. the sim unlock is required for US sims only
