is it possible to unlock a Treo 650 on Sprint network. i may have to move abroad next year in which case i may choose to prefer a local provider.....

i am planning to purchase a Treo 650 this week!

any help will be appreciated!

cheers,

The Sprint Treo is CDMA, so would that be compatible with a carrier that's located in the place you're planning to go? I know people have used a Sprint Treo 650 with Verizon, so it should be possible to unlock it, but I don't what the procedure should be.

Where abroad are you talking? If you're talking Europe, they run GSM everywhere. I spent 7 years living in Italy. I traveled alot to Germany, so I just broke down and got a D1 Sim card for my phone. It worked out to be much cheaper (at least a few years ago, before prices became competitive) than roaming with the Italian card. If you get a Sprint phone (like I have), you won't be able to swap cards, as there aren't any.

Hi guys and thanks for the replies. I am not sure where i will be travelling but it would be UK and India. We have CDMA in India, i dont know about the EU. The thing is i wanted a universal solution. I am aware that GSM is everywhere but i have a GSM T-mobile and i pay 39.99 for 1000 mins, when i asked them for a data plan they want 49.99 AND will take my mins down to only 300. At the same time i have a Sprint (which is only 3 days old) and hence though i could get a CDMA.

So the question still remains is CDMA Treo 650 a good investment!
