Re: [UNLOCKED-RADIOS] - - 2.23.00WU/1.96.10WU Radio Unlocked for US Networks
Here's what I am looking to do, if someone can tell me if this is the right thread (I swear on anything I read every single page):
I am a Verizon customer but sometimes in some rare instances (like my friend's cabin that we go to every year) AT&T works (I know because my friend's phone is AT&T) and my phone does not. I would like to buy a cheap-o prepaid AT&T SIM card (like $20 worth or something) and simply switch to that for the rare times I need to make a phone call and Verizon has no service but AT&T does. Does this thing in the OP get that job done? I simply switch to GSM mode and it will use the prepaid SIM card like I'm using an AT&T phone? (If this is the case, my phone number is obviously different when calling on the SIM card, right?) Also, sometimes I visit family in Europe; a family that laughed at me when they bought me a SIM card for my phone and I didn't have a SIM port (most Verizon phones don't). When I go overseas to see them now, will this prepaid AT&T SIM card work? If not, will the SIM card they try handing me the next time work? Thanks so much to whoever can answer me these idiotic questions of mine |

it should say "WU" instead of WV or WF or VF yeah with the new radio once you reception goes out with verizon it switches on its on. no need to do anything. and at&t will work over sees but may consider it roaming. make sure you have your sim unlocked and then afterwards flash the new radio. |

I can just buy a prepaid SIM card when I'm in Europe at any cell phone store and pop it in my Verizon TP2 then, is that right? But I believe that functionality was always part of the phone...the added functionality is now being able to use GSM networks in the USA as well? |

1) Go to the ATT web site and get the GPRS settings to enter manually 2) Call ATT customer service from the phone, tell them you have a TP2 and ask them to push the data settings to your phone via a SMS Either will work. Quote:
If you want to update the radio to a custom version, you will need to be security unlocked. If you just want the latest Verizon radio run the official Verizon update package (this will update the radio along with the system ROM) then flash the system ROM of your choice. If you are officially SIM unlocked through Verizon you can have a radio other than WU and still be running on an American GSM network. Quote:
The converse however is NOT true. You can have a SIM unlocked phone and NOT have a WU radio. Quote:
1) Call Verizon CS. 2) Say "I'm heading to London next month on a business trip and I'd like to be able to use a local SIM card. Can you please give me the unlock code for my phone?" 3) Verizon will give you the unlock code and instructions on how to use it. Once that is done, you can use any GSM SIM card in the device. If you want to use ATT, just get a prepaid ATT card, pop it in and go to town. If you're in Europe and want to use a local European card, do the same. You WILL have the phone number of the SIM card when in GSM mode (the CDMA radio will be off and all CDMA calls will go to voicemail just as if your phone was off). Your prepaid ATT card likely will not roam in Europe, but the local SIM they give you should work just fine. Quote:
2) Yes, if your TP2 is SIM unlocked, you can just use any prepaid SIM assuming the network uses the same frequencies. 3) The Verizon TP2 supports the US frequencies out of the box, it just has a SIM lock enabled. If you have Verizon CS give you the unlock code, that's all you need. |
