Unlocked Fuze on Sprint network?

Sorry if this is a repost... havent seen this posted..
Dont know if this is possible.. sorry I am a noob
Has anybody tried an unlocked fuze on the sprint network.
I have been pondering the idea myself.. I like the fact that the fuze has PTT and would love to have that with my current sprint plan..
PS.. Sorry I think I posted this in the wrong section. Would move it myself if I knew how.

Fuze is GSM device, Sprint uses CDMA so the short answer is NO.
Additonally the PTT button is just a button. The software is at&t specific so again NO.
Just buy Sprint's Touch Pro, it's basically the same device with a few differences..

yeah it wont work... sry.

...................lol

You don't have the technology or a steady hand to pull off a procedure like that, so ha in your face!

actually, i though sprint aquired nextel, whom use sim cards... i dunno though, cause ive seen most of it referencing iden phones.
my advice, go to a sprint store and ask... the most they'll say is no.
Dont tell them you want to put a "FUZE" on it though, as i found that specific names of devices tend to garner an immediate "no".
Aside from that, sprint has their own version of the fuze with cdma hardware.

just an FYI
iDen (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network) is a proprietary technology developed by Motorola and has no association with GSM (Groupe Special Mobile) at all. Sprint is a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network

those sim based nextel phones are international phones as far as I remember working for nextel back in the days.\
Also have you guys seen that Sprint Touch pro being used with the Verizon on Youtube?

AT&T Tilt on Verizon?

Would there be anyway to get the Tilt to operate on Verizon? Because as far as I know, Verizon doesn't use SIM cards and AT&T does. So that might be a hurdle, but is there any other way around it?
Thanks

Sorry no way, Tilt is GSM bands and Verizon is CDMA bands.

How do I get my Dimmond 2 from the UK to work in the US

Hi all,
I while back I was playing with differnt OS builds on my HTC, eventually setteling on a 6.5 custom build, and have been very happy ever since.
However, I have now gone to the States on holiday and have found that the phone does not pick up a signal but through the it was quad band capable.
Is there anything I can do to get people to pick up a signal?
Cheers.

Oh, how rubbish is that. Is this the phone or the Networks fault? How would the network know that it is a Diamond 2 trying to connect, and if so why would they block this phone?
Is it area dependant (I'm in Florida at the mo) or is this across the US?

ATT is a GSM carrier as is T-Mobile. You should be able to connect to ATT and get 3G - even roaming. I would suggest you try removing your sim and then reinserting it. Also what radio are you running?
Are you using your sim from your own network? Do you have roaming enabled on your account? I know some carriers do not have roaming agreements and perhaps that is your problem. If so, you might get a pay-as-you-go sim?

Tried removing the SIM/re-instering, but made no differnce.
Roaming should be OK as I am on O2 and aggreed international roaming before I left. My partner is also on O2 although has a Sony phone, but connects to a carrier with no issues.
The ROM is Tom Topaz v2.06 WWE
Radio 3.46.26.18
Protocol version 61.30t.25.25U

Try switching out your sim with your friend's and see if it connects then. If it does it's your phone, if not, it's your network.
Otherwise I have no clue. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in.
Good luck and post your findings. I'm rooting for ya!

Interstingly, the SIM is fine - both work in the Sony (T-mobile), both fail in the HTC.
Over the bods that know - can it be resolved.

ATT in us works best on 850

Ah ha - bingo. As I'm not eacatly part of the jet set, many moons ago I set the Band to GSM (900+1800), which of course is fine for Uk + Europe, but not patricularly briliant for the US.
Setting this to Auto and the phone springs into life.
The things you forget, eh!

[Q] newbie question, AT&T or TMO Moto X outside US

Hey all,
Hope this is in the right place. Saw a few similar questions, but nothing exactly like what I was looking for.
I currently have a VZW Galaxy Nexus, rooted, running Shiny ROM with Xposed and GravityBox. Thinking about dumping VZW and going to a Moto X on AT&T or TMO, both prepaid. Question is, which carrier's phone would I be able to use outside the US? I'll be going to Europe this summer and would like to purchase a local SIM in Europe and use it there, instead of paying roaming fees on AT&T or TMO.
According to Wikipedia (can't post link) and what I've read on here, the TMO version is SIM unlocked. So this means it will work on all GSM carriers, right? In the US, that would be AT&T (if TMO doesn't have good signal where I live), and when I travel, that means I can use a local SIM, correct?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated!

Yep, that's correct. T-mo is SIM unlocked. I use mine with AT&T actually too. It should work abroad with no trouble other than tracking down a local nano sim or cutting one down.
If however you want to use LTE abroad I don't think the bands in the T-Mobile version match those used in Europe. HSPA+ should work fine though.
From my experience when traveling abroad a prepaid SIM w/ LTE was way more expensive than something I wanted just for being able to gchat home and look up directions on gmaps so it was a moot point.

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for! I figured LTE wouldn't work in Europe, I was fine with settling for HSPA+ or 3G.
Found a thread here explaining the differences between AT&T, TMO, and Dev Edition. From what I can see, the TMO edition is more flexible than the AT&T edition. Only difference compared to Dev Edition is that unlocking the bootloader on TMO voids your warranty.

LTE works in Europe although is not yet as widely spreaded as in the USA. But you'll be fine with 3G which is fast enough and most countries are well covered with that network. More important issue is roaming if you are planning to visit different countries. You must switch between different operators and even using service from the same operator in different states ( e.g. T-mobile) imply roaming charges. In my opinion the best solution is using local sim with best data plan and voip for calling in every country. If you don't want to switch sim cards, you may find the best roaming solution with prepaid Vodafone Italy. You can buy its clone online (http://www.motorhomewifi.com/product/europa-sim-roaming-data-sim-card/) and refill it in any Vodafone shop around Europe.

[Q] Local carrier FINALLY has 4G LTE but doesnt use sprint.

Hello everyone,
I want to to know exactly how I can implement this to my HTC one however what I've been told is that what ever Sprint devices they have sold will not able to work on this new upgrade.
I've been chatting back and fourth with an employee and he says it's a gsm based 4g LTE that's works on hspa or something that uses 1900mhz bandwidth. With that said will I be able to go ahead and convert to what my carrier uses?
Another note, I've successfully SIM unlocked but haven't had a SIM to try it out if it is unlocked, in doing the unlock will I be able to utilize this update to my carriers data speeds? All the employee said as of right now Sprint branded devices are not able to be used with the upgraded network and it uses a gsm based 4g that uses 1900mhz bands. Quite a few people are pissed about this but their normal users and do not know about root and everything associated with it, to include SIM unlocking.
Another thing the employee mentioned was they are now selling HTC one m7 and m8 that are able to utilize the network, he says they are "generic" and Verizon, what I'm thinking that they are just global versions of the device, so who ever got Sprint branded phones are screwed cause they can't upgrade to the new network.
I am hoping I can use this new found boost in data speeds locally!!

County? City? State? You provided no information here. Also from the sounds of it NO you can not convert your phone. The bands 4G uses are limited by the hardware in them, if you bought a SPRINT CDMA phone in a foreign county no one screwed anyone except you screwing yourself. You should have bought the global version directly from HTC.

Thanks.
I'm not in the states I'm located in Guam, I'm aware of the hardware limitations, but I'm wondering if the device will be able to pick up signal. I believe my carrier will be using hsdpa bands at 1900mhz and I'm under the impression that the Sprint use those
I am screwed as well as others that have gotten Sprint branded devices here, I feel for them but those people are normal users, that don't know rooting and what associated with it. I don't feel too bad about having this device at all, it's been working great, I was just waiting for my carrier to bring out something 3G data.
I was really banking on having it be able to get the upgraded speeds, and maybe help others who are on the same boat as me.
Thanks again!
