I have a chance to get an early TMobile TP2. Does anyone know if the AT&T and t-mobile versions are expected to have the same hardware?
What I'm really getting at is, will 3g work on both AT&T and t-mobile bands.
I'm is still under contract with my iphone, and I'd like to switch to a phone with a real keyboard.
Thanks
Cal
It has been covered in other threads, but, the answer simply is no:
T-mobile: 1700mhz and 2100mhz for 3G
ATT: 850mhz and 1900mhz for 3G
This is correct...the Tmobile TP2 will only do 3G on Tmobile usa!
btw, what chance to get the tmob tp2 are you talking about? It won't be out til 8/12 if we are lucky!
I also have a chance to pick one up locally. May get and try to get unlocked for AT&T

a local T-mobile store is willing to sell you a Tp2 early?
wonder if they'll ship.
I have a Tilt 2 that I got unlocked for my tmobile service. Unfortunetly it doesnt connect to 3G network. Is this because the phone is unlocked? I had this same issue when i had a blackjack2 from att over to tmobile as well.

I hope not. I'm getting an unlocked Tilt 2 in a few days
Tilt2 3G -> 850/1900
TMO 3G -> 1700
So AT&T does not work on T-MO for 3G.

Good to know.

yep, retarded american bands to lock out service on improperly branded phones. why cant we join the rest of the world in the 2100 band.
Is there anything I can do to make my T-Mobile Touch Pro2 usable on Verizon's network?
Root it? Unlock it? Anything?
No, the T-Mobile Touch Pro2 is exclusively GSM, and Verizon's network utilizes CDMA technology. You would need to buy a Verizon Touch Pro2 from Verizon to use Verizon's network.
LOL.
AT&T, T-Mobile = GSM
Verizon, Sprint, US Cellular = CDMA
You CANNOT use a GSM phone on a CDMA network and vice versa.
AT&T to T-Mobile??
Hello,
I just upgraded to HTC Evo and moved to Sprint couple of days ago. I am trying to sell my Touch Pro2 to my friend who has a T-Mobile.
My TP2 is currently running the EneryROM, so I am wondering what I could do to get this phone run on T-Mobile.
We inserted his SIM-Card but unfortunately the phone asked for a code because the network is blocked.
I think I can download the T-Mobile's official ROM for TP2, would that work by itself?
Any suggestions?
Thank you

nope... wont work.. you cant just install a rom on the phone and have it work on another network... The phones themselves have to be compatible.. like was said up there.. gsm phones run on gsm networks.. cdma on cdma... now that said.. arent the touch pro 2's with verizon and sprint world phones so will run on both gsm and cdma?? Although I'm fairly certain even if it is possible to get it to work on the network you want you definatly wont get 3G....
You're better off just selling your phone to someone ON your network... craigslist or ebay can be your best friend... and he's better off buying one made for his network.
Just my two cents!

First of all, don't try to flash the T-Mobile ROM onto your Sprint Rhodium, since that's a great way to brick your device (the ROM is for a GSM device, flashing that to a CDMA/GSM device will brick it). Sprint allows the use of SIM cards for any carriers except US ones, so what you need to do is Security Unlock your Sprint TP2, then flash this special modified radio that will allow for the use of SIM cards from US carriers. Only then can you use your Sprint TP2 on T-Mobile US.
EDIT: Disregard this entire post, I misread it and this probably doesn't apply to the actual situation. My bad...

AFAIK, the TP2s on Verizon are World Phones, but I really doubt that you could go and use a Verizon TP2 on a GSM carrier like AT&T or T-Mo. I would assume Verizon would lock the feature to do that, and that the GSM antenna is more then likely an underpowered or unable to really take advantage of GSM networks (3G/HSDPA, Edge, etc). I think they are only set on on Verizons end to do basic voice and basic features.

Apparently no one is READING your post. You want to take an AT&T Tilt2 and run it on T-Mobile. It will work with the following restrictions:
1. Your phone is network locked to AT&T. You have to either call AT&T and get an unlock code, or buy a code off ebay or one of the forums here. That way the phone will work on a different carrier network.
2. Having unlocked your phone, with a T-Mobile SIM card it will work - but only on the slower Edge speed, NOT 3G. AT&T uses a different 3G technology than T-Mobile.
I would suggest selling it as an AT&T locked phone on ebay.

Thanks Steve
Everyone,
I apologize for the confusion.. I re-read my post and I didn't mention that my Touch Pro 2 is an AT&T phone. (I was an AT&T customer and moved to Sprint). Sorry about that guys..
But thank you everyone especially stevedabi for reading between the lines.. LOL.. He won't buy it but my other co-worker is very interested. Need to sell this thing so I can offset my termination fee from AT&T. haha.

Why not just transfer the entire contract to him WITH the phone.. Then you don't have to pay a cancellation fee... Can they do that here? I know of a few people that did it up in Canada but have never heard of anyone in the states doing it. I'm sure it's got to be possible down here.

Sell it to me....
Verizon is cdma...tmobile is gsm they aren't interchangeable. PM me if you are interested in selling.
Hi, I'm not sure where to post this....I am currently a T-Mobile customer. We are thinking of going over to AT&T and I was wondering if My phone will work with their service? I think I might have to get it unlocked form TM..but wasn't sure...or could I Root my phone and then it will be usable?
I think the networks are similar, but are the sim cards the same in size?
Does AT&T have the WiFi calling feature? I thought that was strictly a TM thing...
If a moderator feels this should be posted in the AT&T section, feel free to move it there as I don't know where it should have been posted to begin with....
Thanks ahead of time!
It supports hspa 1900 on AT&T but you will lose WIFI calling as they do not have it.
