will Verizon or Sprint TP2 work on TMO

---

Just curious if possible when you unlocked the GSM radio on the Sprint or Verizon TP2. Is it possible to get all features i.e. 3G..etc to work on Tmobile?

sorry if this is a dumb question but considering the price difference between the TMO TP2 and Verizon it would be much cheaper to buy it and just get it unlocked for TMO.

The Verizon version is as easy to unlock as calling Verizon and asking for the unlock code (they'll redirect you to another department that deals with that type of thing).

After that, you should be able to use it on both AT&T and TMobile, or any other GSM provider.. but you won't get 3G speeds, only 2G/EDGE, since the TP2 doesn't include the 2100Mhz band that TMobile and AT&T use for their 3G.

Actually, AT&T uses 850 and 1900 for 3G, T-Mobile uses 1700 and 2100.

Really? My bad, I was taught that they both utilized 2100Mhz.. if you're correct, and I believe you are, then the TP2 (and even the storm, which supports 850/1900Mhz) can utilize 3G on AT&T?

The CDMA Touch Pro2 will get 3G in Europe:
HSPA/WCDMA:
Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz
Up to 2 Mbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds

(found it here: http://www.htcwiki.com/page/HTC+Touch+Pro2+(CDMA))

T-Mobile has some weird-ass thing going on with their 3G that you need 1700 and 2100 on your phone, so you can count that out.

Basically, you can unlock it. The only problem you'll have is no 3G. The big question... will you be able to make it roam on Sprint?

It is that easy to get the code....but you need to be a Verizon customer for 60 days or more (probably to stop stuff like this, if I had to guess). I really don't know what they would do if you bought it outright though. If worst comes to worst, you can get it unlocked somewhere for like $10.
