It won't work in the UK. Europe does not support PCS.

There currently isn't a way to unlock CDMA phones (which the Vogue AKA Touch is).

In the future from what it sounds like it may be, but for now if you buy a Sprint or Verizon phone you are stuck on Sprint or Verizon.

if you have your 6 digit msl that your given when you activate the device (the ##(6 digit code)# that you use to program it then you technically have the code to "unlock" it, but the touch isnt really locked at all anyways because theres no way to use it on any other carrier accept for cricket and alltel will take devices from other carriers, verizon used to but stopped... the touch otherwise will only work on SPRINT or if overseas in korea and a few other countries that support cdma, which as long as you have your 6 digit code you can program the device to work with assistance from the carrier

That sux...I guess I should have looked into this further b4 buying..No wonder why the unlocked gsm elfs are going for so much online...I though cdma would work in europe. booo:/
I never activated it yet. Could I just sell this thing as unlocked?

Perhaps you don't understand the difference between GSM and CDMA. Unlocked has a real and specific meaning WRT GSM, but really doesn't apply to CDMA. Selling a Sprint CDMA phone as "unlocked" makes no sense.

I was thinking about getting the sprint touch for a cricket service since they don't have smart phones. Is there any way you can unlock it for that. Thanks im new at this kind of thing.

there really isnt a way of UNLOCKING cdma phones, the concept at hand is that once a CDMA phone gets activated the information put into it gets stored into the system, and hence it has been activated, with a gsm phone, the difference is that a gsm phone adapts any information which is present in the sim card, which is why carriers usually lock them.....other than that whether its the carriers option to not reactivate the CDMA phone or it just cant be reactivated i just dont know, but it might be possible to get msl codes and mess around with those settings..

my 2 cents...

goodluck
