How to get Sprint TP2 on the Telus 3g network?
 
Hi everybody, my oncle gave me an TP2 from Sprint, it's security and sim unlocked. When i tried to insert my telus SIM card, my phone detect the sim card but can't find any network! After, I flashed an Telus radio but same result... Theriocally, it's supposed to work :( HELP!!! I know there's a few thread like this but they talk about HTC TP2 at general, but i talk about Sprint TP2.

my guess is that it isn't really unlocked. all the TP2s come unlocked for international GSM, but not for US GSM carriers.

I could ask your Uncle if he paid to have the phone unlocked. If he didn't, then it's probably not unlocked for US carriers.

The Sprint TP2 is sim unlocked by default, but the radio is locked from using US GSMs. Telus is CA, so not sure why it wouldn't work. The only thing is to try to get the WU radio firmware and see if you have any luck.

As for flashing a Telus "radio" I assume you tried putting a GSM radio to a CDMA device. I'm surprised you didn't brick the device.

OP you probably just needed to put your phone in GSM only mode for it to work. If you flashed a Telus radio to it then you probably have a brick. :(

op, are you sure it's unlocked? what's the radio say...if it says "wu", you're good, if not, you're not unlocked.

very nice Doc as usual; i saw this thread and got me curious on how Sprint TP2 DATA works in CA, TP2 is doing it for me for now, and I am not ready for Win7 as I see some limitations just by reading.......:mrgreen:

Don't let the new shit throw you, most of these new phones can't hold a candle to what the TP2 does...that's why I still sport it, although the HD2 is a much better phone..but the HD2 can't use Sprint, AT&T, or T-Mobile on the same device..nor does it have TV out..the TP2 is the shit!

Telus actually is running two networks. The old CDMA (EVDO/1X). This is the main network that both the Sprint and Telus TP2's function on. The only way to get a sprint TP2 on this network is to get the ESN number added to Telus' network registry. Good luck with that.

The GSM radio has a limited range of frequencies. I know on Rogers here I can only acces edge data and speeds (Not important since I don't have data on that line). A Telus GSM sim card might work but I doubt you'll get very good data speeds.
