USA Cell phone for international use Master thread.

I couldn't find the right thread for it but mods fell free to merge it with any existing thread.

Would HTC EVO,  SPRINT work in Europe just by switching the sim card?

He said HTC Evo. Not the one. Though I believe the one may be the only HTC from Sprint with roaming capabilities.

I think this is the newer EVO.
The EVO IDK if it has a sim slot.

I believe the design comes unlocked. I'd have to double check. But if so yes you should be good to go.

Keep in mind that different service providers can have the same phone, some come unlocked, others don't ect.

Please use this formula when asking about your phone:

Service: Sprint/Verizon
Brand: Apple/Samsung/ect
Device: iPhone/HTC
Specific Model: 4s/Evo/Razor

Or the like.

I am in the Sprint store and was told the 14 day clock starts from the time they  hand me the phone, not the day I order it as I was told with the BB Q 10 that I got and returned last week

If it doesn't come by OCT 7th I will cancel order . BTW my order was placed in the store by salesman purchasing a $50 Sprint GC as a deposit.

He said he can add the $50 to my account . Maybe I will get lucky and get it earlier. No big deal
either way with Amex at my side .
