Hi guys I'm having evo3d sent from America a friend is given me it would it work in the UK with my UK sim. If not is there anything in can do to make it work like changing the firmware to Europe or can I just root it and use custom roms on it

No, if it's from sprint. Sprint phones use cdma technology, so no slot to put your sim in... Lol, anyways, you need a gsm evo 3d, which nobody carries in the US.

I live in Denmark (Europe), so the phone has not arrived yet, but when it does I am pretty sure it will be very expensive. The American version (Non Sprint) isn't that cheap either, but it is cheaper, so I have been thinking of buying one and then getting it unlocked.
Is this actually possible, when it doesn't have a SIM card? I found a website which will unlock the phone and I think actually give me the right network?

Well this is just my question, is this actually possible?
Thanks and best regards

Yes it can be flashed to various cdma carriers. I.e. boost, metro, cricket .... Etc

but the short answer is no because your European carrier is most likely gsm and therefore not compatible with the CDMA Sprint EVO 3D

Yeah...And anyways...Flashes to other CDMA networks is always messy....Hold out for the GSM version that is supposed to launch in Europe soon?

Or get the sensation. It's the EVO with everything but the 3D

I do not understand why it's unlock-able, when it's still not possible to use it in other countries that use GSM. Whats the use in unlocking it then? Sorry, but I know nothing about this stuff.

Well that could work too...But the 3vo still runs better than it...
Either way, you'd have to unlock the Sensation from Tmobile then.

I bought my Photon used so im lost here. Does the Photon come with a Sprint branded gsm sim card? If so where can I get one?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
yes it does! my guess would be get one from Sprint store but, if its missing I would assume its unlocked and rooted so get any aftermarket SIM and save the Sprint data plan!

I'm going to America for 8 months(Ferris State University, Michigan) and I would like to take my EVO 3D GSM with me.. but will it be useable?
I did read something about a GSM network in America(straightalk or t-mobile) or are they on a completely different frequency? Because then I would need to buy another phone there.

I want to say from my days with T-Mobile that if the phone is unlocked, they will activate it with one of their Sim cards. My only concern is if there is a frequency difference. You could contact T-Mobile and ask them.

At&t is also GSM, but again, unsure about the frequencies they use. T-mobile and att are the big 2 GSM carriers. Most if not all prepaid carriers piggyback off of those 2 or the CDMA carriers.

I would say you are probably ok, gsm is know to be a world phone meaning you can basically use it without sny major ulteration, I am in canada my evo is gsm( as we only have gsm in canada) and I am using an european based rom with no problems, You will definately need a sim card from the u.s. which you can pick up when in the states or you can order one on ebay. You will also need to be unlocked.

Hello every body
I have purchased a mobile in hurry from eBay global.
Weather it supports GSM is a doubt.
I want to use my sum card in it in India. It is to be delivered from USA. I want to know whether it can be unlocked for any Operator?
Can it be run on GSM?
Is it having sim card slot?
Thanks for supporting me and reading my question.
Thanks

The HTC EVO V 4G is a variant of the CDMA EVO 3D from Sprint, that is made for Virgin Mobile's network (really Sprint's) in the US. These phones are CDMA only, not GSM, and therefore do not use a SIM card. If your plan is to use this phone on a GSM network in India, you cannot, sorry.

Thanks brother
Can you tell me.
Can it be unlocked to use on any CDMA network in India like reliance TATA or MTS BECAUSE I have heard virgin mobile is not popular in India and they are not providing service in all parts of India.
Thanks

It's not a matter of unlocking,but you can flash or re-provision it. There are users on here that use the CDMA on Reliant, but I don't know how to do it. Google will have to be your friend on that one.
Hello,
I have a Sprint EVO 3D (US bought) lying around that I was wondering if I could use in India with one of the local carriers. Is it at all possible?
Thanks.
Hi donniezazen, were you able to get your evo 3d up and running in India? I know that the only network it'll rub is on reliance's because Tata has done away with cdma. Please let me know how you did it, if you were successful.
