Ok i m new here i really dont know what i m doing my question is i m going abroad for some time and i need a descent cellphone to use abroad some guy i know is offering to sell me photon very cheap but he says its bad esn but will work abroad now first of all what is bad esn? will affect the functionality of the phone in any case? and i will be using it on 2g gsm network so will it work fine and do i have unlock and if yes then how ?
so plz help me out thnx in advance
Bad esn means you can't use it on sprint. Using abroad you can buy a sim card, put it in and it will work fine. Will not work in the US. It is unlocked already for this. You may want to read the forum on bypassing sprint activation. In the us you can flash it to another carrier, like cricket.

Is it possible to use this phone on 3g networks? I want to buy it, but in my country there is not 4g network, only 3g...
dependent on the type of 3g network, yes
That' s great news , but what dependencies are relevant for it to work on 3g? Frequency of the network, or something else?
It has to be CDMA.
But could it also work on GSM? I have done a search on this, and found this pictures where you can select GSM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512138 .
Then I found this article:http://www.htcthunderbolt4g.com/htc-thunderbolt-general-discussion/htc-thunderbolt-unlock-to-work-with-gsm/ .
So, can I insert some radio, or change rom, or software, to make it somehow work on GSM network?
For the USA..... Since its a Verizon phone you would have to call Verizon and have them unlock it.... It cost money..... I would call Ur provider in the country u r in and ask them if it will work..... Just a fyi....... The thunderbolt is already out classed(IMO).... Get a newer phone like the razr or nexus.........
Hope it helps

no, gsm is for lte not 3g
Hi
I've read many threads but I'm a bit confused. On Droid 2 Global, We should get SIM UNLOCK CODE to make phone work overseas on GSM. But some phones with certain IMEIs couldn't be unlocked since the code were not correct. The fact that Verizon didn't know nor Moto!!!
I want to know if this problem exists for PHOTON? And if we need unlock codes for using GSM overseas? And where can we obtain them?
for non USA locations it is already unlocked out of the box.(sim wise not bootloader)

So there would be no problem using GSM. IS that OK even the device is BAD ESN?
And another questions are:
1. Is that OK with USSD and SMS delivery reports? (The problem with D2G)
2. Are All Photons could be unlocked (Boot loader wise)
3. Is its WiMAX could be used outside of US?
Many thanks
USSD does not work. Bad ESN should not matter, but is ethically questionable at best. 2.3.5 Photons and Electrifies (Except Electrifies rhat shipped with 2.3.5) cannot have their bootloaders unlocked.

Yes, the phone supports international GSM when it's stock. Rooting and unlocking the bootloader you can have gsm unlocked in the USA, but you don't have to worry about that.

So, no need unlock bootloader to use gsm on my country??
Still have a question, its dual ON cdma-gsm?? Or just support gsm and cdma separately?
Sent from my LG-P500
Yes no need to unlock the bootloader, and you can only be on gsm or cdma. Not both. If I'm not mistaken.

Has anyone tried to use a different carriers sim in the amaze without unlocking it?
I came to Mexico for vacation and bought a phone here to use while I was here..
I didn't unlock my amaze to work with differents sim cards so I thought it wouldn't work.. well one day I got curious and switched out the t-mobile sim for a telcel ( name of the cell company in Mexico ).
Waited for it to boot and to my surprise it works, it has 4g and all.
I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else?..
The phone is S-off btw..

I just bought one today, it's supposed to be unlocked, tried my tmobile sim but nothing,the Mobile Network box is greyed out, what to do?
Did you s-off your device it did you buy UT lie that? If you bought it lie that chances are it was unlocked by that person. If not you at 1 in a million

I'm the one and only owner, I s-off the phone myself, but never unlocked it due to that I don't travel much outside of the U.S.
Yea sms and mms work... Plus 4g speeds here are crazy fast...

Little question
I have an HTC amaze from T-mobile and put in a telcel sim card, i can make and receive calls but i still dont have any luck with the data, APN's already set up and nothing, are you sure that you didnt unlock and only are S-Off?
If you're unbranded, your unlocked! If you're T-mobile branded, you weren't supposed to be unlocked, unless the precious person unloxked it for you.
