Any way to use T-mobile AND Sprint on the same TP2 at the same time?

Sorry if this is a bit confusing, I'll try to explain the best I can what I'm trying to do.

I have a t-mobile phone, with active service, and I have my Sprint TP2, with active service.

Is there any way I can put the T-mobile sim into my touch pro, and recieve calls and text messages from both numbers?

yes, you can just pop the t-mobile sim in a sprint tp2 and use it. but you must be sim unlocked first, and in case you're wondering, you can't use tmo and sprint at the same time. you have to switch between gsm and cdma mode. if you get stuck, post back

bleh, see I have important messages that come in on both lines so I need to be able to answer both phones at any given time

.

Is there possibly an application that will switch back and forth from GSM to CDMA every couple of minutes (the texts are more important than the phone calls)? I know this would bring battery life down to like, 2 minutes, but I can always plug it in!

Any ideas?

Thank you! I'm usually pretty good at searching for this kind of stuff, but no one seems to be trying to do what I'm doing

I'll keep looking as well and see if I find something before you!

i just checked around, no program for auto switching can be found. i'll keep my eye out. but remember, you must sim unlock your phone, then flash a special radio for this to work with manual switching.

One method of re-routing phone calls is through T-mobile's Call-Forwarding. When I had T-Mo, it was free to call forward some 500 minutes/month.

okay i got another solution there is a program called chetstriker and you can basically program your phone to do things through sms. Now lets say you have installed chetsriker on your wm phone. Now send your phone the text command "to bounce sms off phone to someone else" . So lets say your on your sprint side and your tmobile side is off right now well whenever your tmobile side gets a text even though its not on it will bounce over to your sprint side. Therefore you can recieve the tmobile texts by bouncing them to your sprint texts, i would recommend unlimited texts on both services though. But also set it up the opposite way so when your on your tmobile side you can get the bounces from your sprint number to your tmobile number. At least youll know when to switch over manually if you want to text someone from tmobile to tmobile and sprint to sprint ect. Also maybe put a "T" next to your contacts that have tmobile and a "S" for those with sprint so you know for sure where to switch over to for the unlimited texting services. IDK might be some work involved but hey it just might work goodluck.
