So, a few days ago, I posted something about my phone no longer letting me talk when on a call. I took it to a Sprint repair store, and they didn't even look at it. They just said it was probably a bad microphone, would I like to order a replacement or another phone. I am like, "Another phone please."
They had to order it, and I just assumed it would be a replacement (refurb) phone. When I got it today, I found out it is a Brand New Phone! =D>
When they were activating it, the rep. pulled out a white card (where the SIM is supposed to be) from my old phone and put it in my new phone. (I am pretty sure...) I asked him if it was a SIM card, and he said it is, but not the kind that lets you use it for storing information. He called it something along the lines of International Card or something. He basically said that if I went to Europe, this phone would still work.
He activated it, and then told me I could go on my merry way. I did, and turned on the phone as I left. It did the whole preparing for first use thing, then the stylus thing, then entered Sense UI. A few moments later, it did something, and said something like "changing to Global..." something. Does that mean I have a CDMA phone or a GSM phone? I thought all Sprint phones were CDMA...
So any way to check what the heck phone I have and what "mode" or whatever it is in...I am still going to try and unlock the friggin' thing...
perseverance!
