Sprint is not a GSM service provider, they use a CDMA network. Also Sprint is now Sprint/Nextel and although Nextel devices do use SIM cards they are not GSM devices either. Nextel uses an iDEN network and their SIM cards can only be used for International Roaming, they cannot be used on GSM networks in the United States. Unlocked Nextel devices cannot be used on a GSM network and unlocked GSM devices cannot be used on the Nextel network as the two are not even remotely compatible.
