Don't forget about global smart dialing set-up, works good. Make sure to talk to sprint to ensure you are set for international the first time.
This is great info. Could you elaborate a bit on running Skype on the Sprint TP2? Are you using the 3.0 Skype client? Are you running WM 6.1 or 6.5? (I've heard of problems with 6.5 and Skype) Do you use the audioroute app (to get the audio in the earpiece), a BT set, or speakerphone? How is the call quality? Any tricks to getting Skype working well on the TP2? Thanks in advance!!
