Sprint Touch Pro 2 Sim Unlocked

davidbrownds · #1 (**permalink**) 09-04-2009, 02:54 PM

I just received and activated my touch pro 2. When I look in security it states that the phone is SIM unlocked. I will try my ATT sim and update in what happens

Same here but, when I put in an AT&T and T-Mobile SIM card, it just say No Network and No Service, even the mode is set to GSM only.

Anybody else got the different result?

The phone is locked for U.S GSM carriers. It is unlocked for overseas carriers. This means you can go overseas and get a prepaid sim and put it in your phone. All Sprint phones are always like this that are world edition phones.

So then what's the proper term for this? SIM unblocking? SIM unlocking?

SIM-Allowing for AT&T and T-Mobile to operate alongside your Sprint or Verizon phone?

I believe the SIM slot is supposed to be locked for US cell carriers

Yup, I think it has an US-carrier lock. Because it can read my AT&T SIM card's content alright, but simply refuses to register on the network.

So it's NOT SIM Unlocked.

Unlockers, anybody?

LOL Well by default most phones does NOT save contacts or sms text onto the SIM but the phone itself.

When I mean the content of my AT&T SIM card I meant the numbers and text I saved on it.

Also I called Sprint International department. Guess what, NONE of them have ANY idea about the Touch Pro 2, most of them even insist that it's NOT GSM-capable. Until one lady that was nice enough to look into it and told me it DOES but she simply cannot answer my question if this phone has a subsidy lock, or not.

Guess someone with a non-US SIM card has to try it.

I have a cell phone that I bought for use in country of Panama. It runs on one of their providers called Digicel. Anyways, I tore the damn thing apart to pull the SIM card from it (it was a cheap $10 phone and they didn't want me taking the sim card out so they glued the battery to the battery door and sim card).

Anyways, on the Digicel phone, it picked up a Cingular tower and it was on roaming. This phone was a pay as you go phone. I put that SIM card into my TP2. The TP2 can read all the contacts, but it won't detect any GSM networks.
