Hi,
How can we use 3G sim card in xda11? Is it possible to use or not possible?
Thnx
it should be of cause it will only run 2g(normal gsm)
and some operators block their 3g sims from being used in
2g phones i believe that the company 3 does
The Sprint version is being advertised as an international phone, and comes with a Sprint SIM card pre-installed, and what appears to be a security strap, making it difficult to remove.
Before traveling internationally, you can call Sprint ahead of time to have them active their SIM card, and for the low low price of $1.99/minute, you can use overseas GSM networks to make phone calls, and in many cases, data access.
Of course I'd like to buy a pay-as-you-go SIM card and install that for much more reasonable rates while overseas, but I'm not sure if it's as simple as plugging in a different SIM card.
I had read that the Rogers version of the phone required...something to active the SIM slot, and even then seemed not to work for data via 3G.
Anybody else have the Sprint version? Played with GSM yet?
I'm a little apprehensive to start tearing into it to remove their SIM card just yet...
The GSM is 2G only, no 3G.
Well my buddy has a AT&T sim card that i put in my TP2 but it did not work. I switch the phone to GSM only but it did not pick up a network. I also put that sprint sim on his phone but it had no network either. According to the manual its lock from going to a gsm network on the USA.

Hopefully a custom ROM can unlock the ability to use GSM networks in the United States!

good to know.
I read in the manual that it was not usable on US GSM networks too, but I assumed that was because they never intended for you to remove the Sprint SIM card, so of course the Sprint SIM card wouldn't work domestically.
So it seems the Sprint phone can be unlocked for GSM just like the Telus phones, but I haven't read of any success getting GSM 3G to work w/ an unlock code.

d'oh, missed this....
What about EDGE?
Check the specs, if it said gsm 850,1900 it should be able to use with in the US. Just have to sim unlock it first in order to use.

hey guys,,is it in anyway possible to use a boost/Nextel Sim card on a UnlockedTP2? Since it is a WORLD PHONE(Quad BAND) i thought you could.
...ANYONE?!...
doubt it....nextel/boost is IDEN
NO
Boost/Nextel uses a different technology IDEN
tmobile is a GSM provider
so what will i be able to use it for other than GSM? since the box says its CDMA as-well....
i got a tp2 from u.s cellular and on the box it says it supports gsm networks does this mean it has a sim card slot some where cuz it also has a sim manager or something any input would be aprecitaed thanks.
Welcome to forums
If box states that it must be sim capable.
Inspect your device, under the battery should be a place for inserting a sim
I am planning on getting the zenfone 2 until I became questioning. I have a personal phone on wind and a business phone on telus, and I need to know if the dual Sim will support that. One of them will be the data but both numbers are gonna be used. I can set up call forwarding. Will this configuration work? Thank you
PS. This is for 2 gig 1.8 GHz version
Provided the sim you use for data is in sim slot 1 and you don't want anything other than talk and sms on sim 2. It should be fine. The sim in the 2nd slot must be able to support 2g.
I need the telus one to support 2g then? How do I check of it is supported
Ask them? I'm on a 3 and 4g only network for one sim and that has to be in slot 1. Won't work in sim 2 at all. The other sim is an EE UK sim and that works fine in both slots.
