Sorry to rehash an old post, but no, even if you did pay the full retail price for a "sprint" phone, it is still locked to "sprint", only if you bought an generic un-branded version would it come unlocked, which in CDMA (Sprint, Verizon) that doesn't exist. Also having your MSL still doesn't "unlock" your phone, it just gives you access to certain settings, you still can not transfer that phone for use with another carrier. The exception being re-flashing for Cricket or using Houdini for MetroPCS.

Guys, I have my MSL... got it when my international card was enabled. BUT, is there any setting to change to another SIM while traveling or will other SIMs just work? Only had the phone a week and about to head out of the country.

PS Everytime I do a search I get all the ROM info....

Unfortunate you need an unlock code to unlock the SIM functions.

I would like to add that there are people in the TP, Vogue and Titan forums who also had success with adding foreign ESN's to the following carriers:
CricKet
Metro-PCS
Page-Plus
Verizon
Alltel
Bell
Pocket
Boost CDMA
just to name a few.
