I just picked up a lightly used Telus TP2
HardSPL, SimUnlock, 2.32.00WU radio, and recent Energy Rom installed
When I put an active sim from a PC mobile (bell reseller) and have phone set to gsm only mode, phone can only see Rogers network
PC mobile (bell) sim package says phone needs to support UMTS/HSPA on 850mhz and 1900mhz
On HTC site the tech specs for the Telus phone show
1X EVDO REV A 800/1900MHz, HSPA 2100MHz, GSM/ GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900MHz
So did I make a mistake by buying this phone, I do not want to activate with Telus CDMA, I want to use this phone with a Bell SIM.
I'm really hoping there is just some setting somewhere that I didn't know to set.
Hi i buy one used HTC EVO 3D CDMA(no sim slot), but i use WCDMA/3G or GSM carrier (with SIM card).
Please someone know if:
1 - If buy USB SIM reader in ebay, may i get all information needed from SIM to flash in CDMA ship?
2 - If flash the radio of HTC EVO 3D GSM version in the CDMA version, i can use this in GSM network? or hardware are diferent?
Thanks you
I find this patch for android to enable global CDMA phone to work in GSM network, but who i know if HTC EVO 3D is global phone?
"If you have a Global Phone for CDMA Network and you want correctly use it on GSM Network than you have to edit the build.prop file to fully enable the GSM\UMTS and you have to set APNs to use 3g data"

guys
just a general question on how cdma networks and phones work. Today, verizon 4g phones come with a sim card. If that's the case, why are there two editions of most phones - one for verizon and another for sprint? Are the two carriers still using cdma?
Thx

There are two types of mobile cell phone communication technology, GSM and CDMA. CDMA phones cannot run on GSM networks and visa versa. While there are few advantages, GSM is considered to be better because it has LTE support, and used internationally.
Carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM, while Verizon and Sprint use CDMA. GSM uses SIM cards, and CDMA phones have a programmable radio inside of the phone.
But, Verizon and Sprint use SIM cards in there newer phones. They use GSM IN ADDITION to CDMA. The SIM card only gives the phone LTE though, because CDMA does not support it.
So, yes Verizon and Sprint use CDMA, for call, text, data, internet, 4G and they use GSM for LTE only.
GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile), use only a SIM card, and the GSM technology for call, text, data, internet, 4G, AND LTE.
I hope this answered your question and heightened your knowledge!
can a nexus 6 purchased from verizon be used on the sprint network - thx
Yes, if unlocked
Yes, they will usually work but only if they are unlocked. Different carriers have different policies and requirements that you must meet before they give you the unlock code to bring the phone to another carrier.
You're at an advantage using the Nexus 6, unlocking solutions are plentiful. Go to the N6 forum for more. If you plan on going from CDMA to CDMA you should be gold (per the carriers you mentioned).
so the 930U is the carrier unlocked version and supports both CDMA and GSM. of course can't use two GSM carriers since only one sim card slot, but can i use a GSM and CDMA concurrently? one for voice and other for data for example?
Does anyone out there know if it possible to switch with a note 5 gsm phone to sprint. Any thoughts appreciated
Only if you switch out the motherboard as gsm phones don't support CDMA providers.
