Does the Sprint TP2 come with a Sim card?
 

Simply put, there's one on eBay that I'm eyeballing, and in the Picture, it looks like there's no im card.

I'm a complete Newb to Sim cards, so I don't know whether the Sprint TP2 even comes with one/needs one to function?

that is all. :)

you don't need it unless you plan to go abroad, but yes, it comes with one.

It is cheaper to buy a prepaid SIM at your destination, than to pay Sprint International roaming rates. Your Sprint Touch Pro2 is already SIM unlocked.

+1 like all above said..

...also, if the SIM is installed, its under the battery and may not be seen in pics even if the back cover is off.... or its inside the pack in the box that contains all the user manuals and such...

if you plan on using NRG Roms and Tethering-you WILL need a SIM of some sorts-FYI(from what ive read)..

say what? i hate his roms but never in my life used a sim or cant think of a reason you would need to for tethering.

i shit you not man... i use NRG, but Im JUL.17-well b4 it started, so Im all good... but yeah, sounded real funny to me to.. but read http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-...nergy-rom.html youll see thats the suggestion there also(as well as in NRGs Rom Thread) and its even backup by users updating saying SIM/Tether combo was only way to get it working...

Im not even sure if NRG even ever said why its required now all the sudden..

so, I speak the Truth brother.. no lies here lol

Yeah, stealth tethering only works in global mode. otherwise tethering will be detected by your carrier.

Re: Does the Sprint TP2 come with a Sim card?
 

Only in NRG's? Or is this something new from the carriers?

u wont need if u plan on using android on it because atleast in my case i had to take it out so i can be able to have reception

hmm i dont think my tp2 came with a sim card but i dont use NRG (on 6.1 stock rom). as for the OP i think u should just try to get that TP of urs exchanged for a TP2 rather than tryin to buy one.

Honestly, I think if you install the stealth tethering cab on any rom you have to have a sim card installed to usb tether.

Re: Does the Sprint TP2 come with a Sim card?
 

a few things:

detected by carrier??? 1) so what lol 2) I dont use stealth tethering period-No Charges Ever and I use of 30GBs a month

global mode?? 1) your wrong - i dont use a SIM at all and as previously stated, i tether 30GBs a month.. no SIM= cant possibly be in global mode

lastly- you do realize stealth tethering ONLY works for USB Tethering, not Wifi... so if you wifi tether, your carrier has seen it this whole time...

Carriers, well sprint and vzw(there were those issues for Telus and Tmo way back) will NOT charge you for tethering your TP2-no matter what... havent in 3 years ive been doing it and "stealth tether" has been around less time than the TP2.. so obviously its not really needed anyways

only one ive read/heard about it being in

maybe with the newer builds, thats when it happened on NRG - when he went back to the lower 6.5.x builds(21xxx's i believe), shying away from the 235xx and 236xx builds, thats when it started... i use a July Rom still so it doesnt affect me anyways.. but NRG seems to be the only one people are posting the issue about...

You said you never used stealth tethering but if you use a custom rom the stealth tethering edits are usually done in all custom roms right? So..? :scratch:
