My apologies. I am visiting this forum after a long time. TP2 sold in north america by Verizon, sprint & Telus is a worldphone as opposed to GSM. which means that while in north-america in global mode, it looks for CDMA networks first. In phone settings, you can change that so that it only looks for GSM networks. if you visit outside northamerica, best bet is to change that setting ( it will help with battery life a bit as well based on my experience ) so that it looks only for GSM network. once that is done, all calls and network access is will be via GSM network using SIM in the phone. even if you use country codes, it will still use SIM.
