Can I use my T-Mo TP2 on Verizon?

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.

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.

AT&T Data Plan Pricing

I apologize if a thread like this already exists, I couldn't find it.
I'm planning on purchasing the Telus Desire with 850/1900Mhz 3G for use on AT&T once it comes out. However, I want to confirm that I can use the "dumbphone" unlimited data plan (which is $15 or $10 for families) instead of the regular, overpriced, capped smartphone plans. I do this currently on my Motorola Milestone so I want to make sure it works okay with the Desire. Can anyone on AT&T confirm this for me?

... nobody on AT&T will be able to confirm this with you because not even Canadians have this phone yet. But if they don't know the Milestone IMEI they probably won't know the Telus Desire IMEI.

Right, I know it's not out yet but I was more looking for someone with the regular Desire on AT&T who could tell me. (I'm figuring AT&T will treat all Desires the same way)

The imei is not registered with ATT. Therefore you can have as I do a 10 or 15 dollar data for quick messaging phones and standard flips.
You will have 3g wherever there is 850 mhz 3g. TElstra desire does not have 1900 mhz 3g, but ATT will have the entire network on 850 mhz 3g by end of the year.
What state are you in?

Correct, the Telstra (Australia) Desire is UMTS 850/2100. But the upcoming Telus (Canada) Desire is UMTS 850/1900.

Thanks for the info, I'm glad to hear that. I'm probably going to wait for the Telus model so I get full 850/1900 and I think I like the idea of the SLCD better than the AMOLED for outdoor use. And the off-contract price for the Telus Desire is rumored to be only $450, hopefully that's true Now they just need to launch the darn thing!

How did AT&T get the Nexus ONE IMEIs if they don't carry it. Is HTC handling them over?...

I assume the N1 is a special case... and it was released in the US.

The regular Desire won't work on 3g in the US uses different frequencies for 3g, so you have to wait for the North American version to come out. That's why people are saying that no one has one on AT&T

[Q] will the uk galaxy nexus work fine on us tmobile?

I'm getting sickband tired of all these us delays for the phone. At this point I'm thinking of just purchasing the UK phone and importing it to the US. Is the UK version same as the unlocked phone I would buy here in the states eventually? I have tmobile and as far as I know all unlocked nexus phone are same? Is that true? Also, where can I buy online in UK that will ship to the US?

Nvm wrong forum.

They are the same. The phone is pentaband HSPA+. It'll get HSPA+ anywhere its available pretty much.

So to be clarify, the UK phone is basically same as unlocked nexus here and everything will work like 3g and 4g/hpsa+ here as well. What about updates. When Google pushes ota updates, will I get those same time as everyone else in states.

Mmmm... no. Downright confirmed to be sold on the 17th in the UK at most carriers and retailers (as of earlier today).

One nexus for all frequencies?
So, just to get a clear answer, will there only be one Galaxy Nexus to cover all GSM carriers, even for 3G?
I remember buying my Nexus One (which I'm still using) and I had to be careful to buy the correct variant so that I could use it back in Europe... only the T-Mobile variant would work.
My colleagues who have relocated to California have a few Android devices, including a couple of Nexus S, but since they purchased them in Europe they can't get 3G since the European Nexus S doesn't have AT&T's 3G frequencies, it would only work on T-mobile US.
I'm from Europe (but travelling for a couple of weeks in the US), so I was hoping to buy a couple of them to take home for myself and my girlfriend, but I don't see any sign of it being released for T-Mobile US, so I guess I'm going to have to fork out the outrageous money for one when I get home to the UK... £519 (= $820)

The Nexus One and Nexus S were quadband, meaning that they only worked on the specific carrier frequencies they were designed for. For that reason there were specific T-mobile US versions because T-mo uses 1700/2100 (AWS) for 3G rather than the 1900 standard many other carriers in the world use.
The Galaxy Nexus is pentaband HSPA+, meaning that there is one model that will work everywhere in the world. Yes even on 3G (or "4G" if the carrier calls HSPA+ that). You'll be able to buy the unlocked Galaxy Nexus in the UK and use it in the US on any of the GSM carriers here (AT&T, T-mo, Simple, regionals).

[Q] No sim...sim..Which nexus do i need for t-mobile?

no sim just means that its not provided with a contract or a sim card for a carrier, instead its just the phone unlocked full price that you use with any carrier.
as for what you need just check the bands that the carrier use vs what the phone has the galaxy nexus is pentaband tho so it will most likely work with pretty much all carriers globally

"no SIM" just means it is contract/service free. You want that. It's just the phone, no strings.

I've been reading the last few comments and decided to speak up. First I want to say thank you, even though I didn't ask the questions myself, but the questions asked I had myself.
Now, I am a Sprint customer. Clearly no sign of this coming to us anytime soon if at all. I have a Nexus S 4G and I am aware it'll get the update soon enough, but I am wanting the Galaxy Nexus so bad that I am considering ordering the one released in the UK. Now I noticed the "sim free" or "no sim" means it is contract free. I assume I have to at least have some type of service with Magenta to even use it if I order it right? Also, let's say I already was a T-Mobile customer and I had a UK released Galaxy Nexus ported here in the US which comes SIM free, all I would have to do is put my SIM from my previous android phone (whatever that would be) inside the Galaxy Nexus and it would get service right? The phone itself would still be off contract right? The SIM is just for service so I can actually use it as a phone. And it all comes down to the consumers data plans, etc on how they can use it right?
I hope I wasn't confusing.
Thanks in advanced.

Yes, available with carriers today.
If you want a SIM-free handset (which by the looks of it, the OP does) then you will have to wait until next week at the earliest since the SIM-free stock has been delayed.

[Q] Are There Different S3 versions for ATT and TMobile?

I found out quite late that Tmobile is limited to 2G data on IPhones.. (or atleast IPhone 4S). I use TMobile prepaid 3$/day package as my usage is limited and sporadic.
Considering the S3, can anyone please tell me if Samsung has released distinct versions of the S3 for the two networks, or the same model covers both?.
Thanks.

I believe att has the lte version. Yes different phones.

I suppose, the question I really wanted to ask was, is one network's version more of an international phone than the other with regards to data?... i.e if I were to take the phone to a)UK/Europe, b) Pakistan,
Would both phone be able to get atleast 3G, or, would the TMobile version still be restricted to EDGE?.
Thanks.

There are different versions of the S3 for both the ATT and TMobile. On the S2, the difference was in the apearance, where the ATT was a little more square like, and TMobile had rounded edges. In the S3 though, the only difference is the name printed on the back (where it has either the Tmobile or the ATT logo). As for the mobile network support, I think that only the radio is different. Even now, you are not limited to 2g by your phone, but rather whatever TMobile decided to give you. Both phones will get atleast 3g. I know that TMobile version does not have LTE support, but im not sure about the ATT version.

If you bring an AT&T phone to T-Mobile, you will not get 4G.
You can best 3G if your AT&T Phone has the 1900 range, you can get 3G on T-Mobile's service. Not sure how well it will be since it's only picking 1900 without others.

If you unlock your T-Mobile S3 you should be able to get 3G/HSPA+ on AT&T. The T-Mobile S3 is a pentaband device.

If you are using an iPhone you might as well do the $2 a day since the $3 will only affect you if your phone gets 4G. They will be exactly the same performance on the $2 since it will just be on unlimited EDGE.

TMK, it should work. If memory serves, the Verizon HTC One is just a standard global HTC One with Verizon's customizations. Now, having said that, Verizon has been known to disable\completely remove\block the GSM functionality of global phones in the past when they release a version for their network(Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR, ect..) so it's entirely possible that, while the phone is physically capable of operating outside Verizon's network, that Verizon has blocked it from doing so.

You are correct. Verizon is required to have all global-capable phones unlocked out of the box. This is why the Verizon iPhone 5 was such a magnet for fraud.

I have a Verizon HTC One M8 and I have AT&T. I can get it to pick up service but for the life of me it will not pick up HSPA+ or 3G. So far I have only been able to get it running on Edge which obviously is unacceptable. Verizon phones can be such a pain in the ass. Anyone have any suggestions?

This subject has been been brought up before for the m7 and its not possible. The m8 on the other hand once again is a different phone. I know they have had success getting lte and all that working for our phone to T-Mobile.

I didn't buy the phone to use on AT&T. It just so happened it fell into my lap and I wanted to play around with it for a bit but unfortunately I can't get it to pick up 3G. But thanks for your witty responses guys. Much appreciated. What happened to people who actually came on this site to offer valuable input?

It wasn't a witty response. Was a real actual question. I see so many threads of people buying Verizon phones and try to make them fully work on gsm networks. Just because it says global phone doesn't mean every part of the phone will work on gsm networks. So that's why I asked is the Verizon version cheaper than its gsm counterparts.

Yes, it works fine with HSPA+. For LTE, it could connect with LTE, but my situation is I can't make phone calls and text messages under LTE. Hope this would help.

The Verizon HTC One will work on any network, I can't speak for bands/speeds.
I'm in New Zealand, I brought my VZW One with me, works like a charm on all of their GSM networks here.
