Sprint's touch pro

I was have been wanting one of these phones since I first got my shadow and heard the rumors about this phone... Now I'm looking around at some phones and I was wondering if Sprint's HTC Touch pro will work on T-mobiles network? If not then what is the next best way to get a Raphael locally.

Sprint = CDMA
T-Mobile = GSM
I think there is no way. Your sprint phone has no sim. Must have sim for t-mobile.
Google is your friend, but have big bucks ready!!

[Q] Activate unlocked Trophy on Verizon?

I've had a droid 2 global (ugh) for about 6 months now and I plan on buying an HTC trophy instead. However, I am concerned that I won't be able to activate the trophy when I get it. If I buy an unlocked htc trophy off of amazon, will I be able to activate it with verizons network? I've read that verizon doesn't support unlocked phones.

If its gsm then no, VZW has a cdma network. non verizon phones have th be sent in to be programmed to work on vzw's network if they have the proper cdma antenna. In other words, if you want a phone to work on vzw or sprint, make sure its branded for the carrier before you buy it.

Don't worry, you'll be able to activate it no problem, and besides, the isn't the Trophy Verizon's anyway? Just be sure to do the ESN swap online, they'll charge you if you go in-store.

You'll have to buy a CDMA Trophy. A regular GSM Trophy doesn't support Verizon's CDMA network.

Samsung Note

I see Amazon selling the unlocked Samsung Note and mostly all people who bought it are on At&t. I was wondering would this work with Sprint newtwork. I guess At&t and Sprint are on different networks. I saw that At&t guys had to change theie APN.

No. Sprint uses CDMA which means no SIM cards. The note will only work on AT&T, T-mobile, and basically every other network in the world besides Verizon and Sprint.

[Q] Z3 on Verizon?

I know that verizon has it's own Z3v, but from what I can tell the z3 from tmobile has the same bands on it's radio as the verizon variant.
If my z3 from tmobile is unlocked can I use it on Verizon? I do not have a current verizon sim card to test, so I thought someone here might have tried already. Would rather just keep my existing phone than go to a lesser version of it on verizon.
Thanks ahead of time...

No its not possible, as they need to register your ESN and considering the D6616 is GSM only, it does not have an ESN.
Also you cannot use Sprint/Verizon on each others network as they won't allow it (ESN) . But you can use Sprint and Verizon phones, those which also have GSM in addition to CDMA on AT&T and T-Mobile
I used my Sprint LG G2 (supports CDMA & GSM) on T-Mobile till I got the Z3.

Thanks for the info. I didn't have my hopes up, but it would have been nice.

Mint SIM carrier?

I was just wondering if anybody tried out the carrier Mint SIM? I'm looking to get into an affordable GSM carrier. I was going to pick Cricket wireless until I saw Mint SIM. I'm currently on Sprint, not a big fan of them. I want to get into a GSM carrier because I would have allot more options when it comes to buying unlocked phones. Thanks for the help.

You still know info on them?
