I put a T-Mobile SIM in it and was fine. When it did a software update it re-locked to Sprint and said invalid SIM.

Did you insert a t-mobile sim before and it said sim not recognized? From what I've read, you may need to put it back on Sprint and have them lock it and then unlock it. It's crazy.

After I did the unlock I figured it's best to do a full reset and make sure sprint activation software doesn't show up. It didn't

Any opinions for someone currently paying the monthly fee for the phone. I plan to close the line shortly. Best way to pay off and get it unlocked? Tia

It'll definitely support P and Q, sucks for those whom paid more for a prototype

Glad I sold all mine except one for my eight year old. Resale values will plummet even more now.
