QUOTES

<@cmonex> SPL IS OF COURSE FREE

<gspitman> cmonex: can you tell us if you plan for a release today? or no? That's all I really need to know and I can leave.
<@cmonex> gspitman: as olipro is not home yet, i dont know. (he's responsible for server) so lets say no just to be sure

From my understanding the HSPL unlocker has been done and will be free. They are waiting to release the HSPL unlocker with the SIM unlocker. The HSPL unlocker allows you to flash different roms. The SIM unlocker will allow you to use any USA GSM network and flash different radios.

The SIM unlocker costs money and therefore they have to set-up a server to verify your license etc.

Please keep this topic civil. Regardless don't expect a release today (Saturday).

From what she was saying though, the HSPL also requires a license/activation, even though it is free. Basically, it will require an internet connection and a PC.

I apologize in advance if I read what she said wrong.

No I think they are just saying that you will need a license for the SIM Unlocker. Every other HSPL unlocker has just been a download link or attachment.

Edit: Well I take it back. I guess you will have to get a license for the HSPL Unlocker. But that's ok with me. Whatever it takes for me to be able to flash my phone as many times as I want, then that is what I will do. I'm just itching to flash. Yes I am a Flash Addict.

Sprint phones are already carrier unlocked on the GSM side.

Yes, but they dont work on US SIM cards no matter what. You can unlock Telus and Verizon ones for free (through the respective carrier) and it will work on US SIM cards.

Aren't they unlocked only for NON US GSM carriers but locked from US GSM carriers (AT&T, T-mobile)?

Not to start any problems Bluruld. I just couldn't help but notice how you attacked me in chat regarding the discussion of the HSPL. Yet when I get cold hard facts about it directly from cmonex in our conversation, you feel obliged to post about it here.

Anyway, I was glad we finally got some of our questions regarding the licensing answered.
