Sprint's giving them away for free. Got mine just 10 minutes ago. Tested it with AT&T and it's working fine. Just call the International Desk at 817-698-4199
I was also told in order to unlock the phone, ill have to buy a temporary SIM....she still gave me the lock code; however, is this step really necessary, or can I just go ahead and unlock it with the sprint sim card in there?

Exaclty what we said in our post
As usual, if you're a Sprint Customer, you can call them up and they should give you the code for free, if not, that's when we come in handy
Okay, maybe I'm just a bit slow but unlocking your phone does what now? I read about you being able to use your phone on other carrier networks but what benefit does that have? I'm asking because I'm going to Jamaica in 3 weeks so if I unlock my phone what will that do for me while I'm over in Jamaica?

Instead of roaming with your phone, you will have the possibility to buy a prepaid local sim card and use your phone locally there in Jamaica

Oh cool...I will call Sprint now then..or should I wait until the replacement phone comes before I do that? I'm not sure how the sim id works but I know each BB has it's own pin so I don't wanna have to call twice. Also if you unlock your phone will that allow you to buy a reg. calling card to use with your minutes without being charged?

You should call Sprint when you get your replacement phone.

Can someone tell me the benefit of an "unlocked" phone? is it that, as a Sprint customer, with an unlocked phone, I can use the phone as a Verizon or AT&T as well instead of buying the same phone under the AT&T/Verizon name? Also regarding a SIM card, I thought that Sprint does "NOT" have SIM cards. Am I mistaken?
Here's what I got after 30 minutes of back and forth:
07/24/2009 11:58:23AM Agent (Askeisha): "I do apologize however the sim card is not un lockable. To use your sim card oversea, I recommend that you purchase a sim card that you can use on the Sprint Network. I do apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused."
