Help! Sprint TP2 sim unlocked on Tmobile
 

I have a question about tmobile service on a sim unlocked Sprint TP2. A few days ago, I gave my GF a Sprint TP2 after I paid to get the sim unlocked. Anyways, tmobile worked, but in certain areas like near her work, she couldn’t get service, so no calls or texts whatsoever, but when she gets home the tmobile service is working again.

Is there a reason she might have no service in some areas? I setup the phone to only use GSM service and I did manual settings and selected Tmobile. Do you guys think maybe tmobile might have a different voice band in different locations that the Sprint TP2 can’t pick up and that’s the reason she gets no service? She only wants the phone for talk and text and doesn’t need the data.

No, when she uses her regular old cheapo phone, it works fine. I think maybe its the bands that the TP2 can't pick up.

what band are you on?

Re: Help! Sprint TP2 sim unlocked on Tmobile
 

The bands are set to auto, what bands does tmobile use?

Isn't the TP2 quadband GSM though?

ok, i think tmobile uses 850/1900 for voice, I gotta check if the tp2 supports those

i had to go manual and my band is gsm(1900+850)+umts(1900+850). i haven't had a problem yet. try it and let me know if it works.

It does, like I said above, the TP2 is quadband for GSM.

I think your right about that one, I'm gonna have her try it out tomorrow at work, I guess the auto setting doesn't work well and manual is the only way.
