Can I use an unlocked HTC Touch Pro 2 with a Sprint contract - unlocked means no sprint or other company sign on the phone?
an unlocked phone could mean one of two things. One, the phone belongs to a GSM carrier (like T-mobile, or AT&T) but being that it is unlocked you can use it with any carrier that requires a sim card. The second can mean that it is a CDMA phone with GSM capabilities normally on a Sprint or Verizon Global phone meaning it is a CDMA phone with a sim card slot and as long as it is unlocked it can be used also with any other carrier that requires a sim card. However it has nothing to do with what is on the actual phone, so even if it says T-mobile it can still be an unlocked phone.

What does unlocked iphone mean?
In relation to mobile phones - it means the handset is no longer tied to the original network it was sold to. When you buy a brand-new mobile, almost always it's 'locked' to a specific network - meaning it will only accept SIM cards from the samenetwork. However - it's possible to unlock it - so it will accept SIM cards from any network - not just the original one it was locked to.
