Should work just fine, force_cdma=1 in your startup.txt.

Phone won't work as phone CDMA and GSM, one or the other basically.

Edit - as pointed out below, for GSM you need force_cdma=0 or remove the value entirely, the default is 0. I shouldn't post late at night... Being drunk probably doesn't help either .

You need to call Sprint if they are your service provider to activate an international plan for your phone. A much cheaper alternative would be to get a prepaid SIM card from a local provider.

Is your SIM slot unlocked? Otherwise you'll have to go directly thru Sprint as demonlordoftheround said. The only other way to use a SIM in the device is to unlock the SIM slot - similar to HSPL, as I understand it, but I've never done it.

Does the SIM slot work in WinMo...? If it doesn't, then you definitely haven't unlocked it. If you're just having issues in Android, then force_cdma=0 for GSM. Sorry about the mis-information earlier...

Sorry, my previous post was wrong, force_cdma=0 for GSM mode... I shouldn't post late at night like that . You can also remove the value like previously mentioned, the default is 0.

arrrghh, Sprint Touch Pro2 SIM comes unlocked. Maybe the phone is in CDMA only mode?

OP, try changing the Network mode to Global in the Windows settings.

Re: SIM CARD & Andriod???

Phones like the Droid 2 Global and Droid Pro allow for switching between GSM and CDMA easily.

Has anyone on here looked at what makes that possible on those phones, and if we can do that just as easily on the TP2?

Don't think that will work in our case as network mode is set in the startup text unlike a native android device.
