Just got my Sprint SIM card
|
|
|
| Strangely, they just sent me a SIM card...I guess because I'm on an
international roaming plan. My phone (a Sanyo MM9000) lacks even a spot for
a SIM card.
I suspect I could just drop it into my unlocked T-Mobile BlackBerry and roam
that way...but then again, why? T Mobile has an unlimited data plan for
international roaming...$19/mo. Voice rates are similar.

Sprint sells a couple handsets that are hybrid US-CDMA/European-GSM handsets;
that's what they'd probably be used for, and I'm sure you can put them into
another Europe-compatible GSM phone and have them work too.

Right...in fact, they had included an advert for the IP830w along with the
SIM card. But I don't even own the prior generation IP phone. Can't
complain cuz...hey...free SIM card, even if it's a "just in case" SIM card.
