Can I make my HTC TP2 a Tmobile phone with no issues?

[TheKid1]

I stopped at the cell phone store and possibly might switch to a different carrier. Right now I pay total with tax $123/month for Simply everything plan by sprint which is rediculous. This guy is offering unlimited talk/text/internet for $60/month including tax. He said I need to switch to a Tmobile phone though. I don't want a Tmobile phone though especially after all the work it took to get the new ROM on my phone and now I like it again. The guy said he can do something to unlock the SIM and make it work with TMobile but there will be an 80% chance the internet will not work if I use my phone.

What do you guys think?
Can this be done so the internet works?
Anything I can do at home first or what?

If yes to questions 1,2,3, will my phone function the way it does now?

The tp2 will get 3g in certain countries, but not in north America....and it absolutely will not get 4g, period.

My question is, what everything plan do you have that is $123/month. Is it a single line or family plan? What is the break down of charges? My friend has the single ev plan and with tax and insurance he only pays around $95.

I have the $99 simply everything plan. But about $23 taxes and fees.

Why can't the TP2 get 3g in north america?

Got it. Thats why. What plan can you get for $60 that offers the same thing? Thats crazy.
The reason the sprint tp2 can't do 3g on tmobile is because they are 2 different technologies. Gsm and cdma. You are able to flash the tp2 to work on tmo though since it is sim unlocked but like someone said already it will only use edge which is slow because the gsm frequency on the tp2 won't work on the 3g frequency of tmo. I think thats why. I'm sure someone else here can explain it better.

I'm really not sure what it's all about. $60 unlimited talk/text/web. It's some new store around the corner. $60 flat fee prepaid no contract. He said I'll be able to use 3g. He said they use verizons towers or something like that. But he said I'll be using tmobile/att&t network. Idk it's weird.

Now i'm not sure if it makes difference whether i install a ROM before or after this guy unlocks the SIM. Oh and this guy swears that I'll be getting 3g because tmobile/att&t gets 3g and 4g. He seems like an hones guy. IDK what to think though.

Oh and maybe you can help: what's up with this SD formatting program. I dowloaded it to my pc but it doesn't seem to do anything when I click setup.....do I download it to my phone?

That sounds about right. Except that the tp2 from sprint is already sim unlocked for international use. I was able to use it in dominican republic on orange without unlocking it. I use that phone as my backup still. I think all tp2 phones are sim unlocked except maybe the att version since att is such a crappy company and they lock all their phones.
