Sprint TP2 Stock WIFI problem in Cancun Mexico

[amart79196]

I was just in Cancun Mexico and noticed that I couldn't get internet working on my phone at all. I was in a starbucks which had open internet and I couldn't get it to work.

In the settings screen for wifi, the wifi was turned ON and it also showed a full signal with a Check mark indicating that it was connected to the network. Still, I couldn't connect to Skype, Opera, PIE, or anything at all.

What was going wrong?? What can I have done differently or is this phone locked somehow that it will only use the Sprint Internet connection only?? Shouldn't it work on a open network? Was there a setting that was not correct?

Any feedback or info on this matter is greatly appreciated.
