It's quad band and 2100 UTMS.

They locked out ALL US-Based GSM carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile SIM cards.

great info!

Re: Using sprint Touch pro 2 in different country
 

do you think it would be technically possible to unlock the phone for t mobile and att. You never know!

Re: Using sprint Touch pro 2 in different country
 

There is always a possibility to do that. Problem is right now nobody knows how it's being locked down. Is it a software-based (Windows Mobile) lock, or is it a radio/firmware (more a down-to-the-bone method), or a combination of both.

Once we figure that out, it won't be hard to do.

But hey, first thing first, the Unlocker.

Re: Using sprint Touch pro 2 in different country
 

did you try the SIM card from China in it? If the phone's locked to other SIM, the phone will tell you. If they didn't lock other countries but US-GSM, we just lost the reason to let them unlock it. I had been with ATT and tmobile before and always called them for unlock codes to travel abroad although I didn't, they gave me without any question.

Re: Using sprint Touch pro 2 in different country
 

No I have not because I don't even have access to that SIM card yet (will receive it once I land in Canton.)

Thing is, it never does ask you for an unlock code, like others mentioned under Settings -> Personal -> Security. If you go there it simply says "This phone is SIM unlocked." There are just no place for you to even put in an unlock code.

It's the FCC regulation as I mentioned earlier to lock the GSM down for the States. However I've talked with many Sprint reps even couple Tier 2s, all they are saying is that it has NO SUBSIDY lock EXCEPT US-GSM Carriers.

I have a T-Mobile SIM with a UK number I use when I travel to B'Ham England. I popped it in but wouldn't register. Probably because it is on the US T-Mobile network. It wouldn't even locate a carrier in GSM mode.

The GSM portion of the phone is unlocked so you could take it out of the country and use an international SIM of your choice in that country. The GSM bands do not work in the U.S, but overseas. In the U.S you would use the CDMA side of the phone.

Re: Using sprint Touch pro 2 in different country
 

That's the situation as of now. The GSM part for the Sprint TP2 has NO subsidy (network) lock EXCEPT for US-GSM carriers. You can take it out of the States and us any SIM as long as they are NOT an US-GSM SIM.

In the States? It will lock the GSM part out.
