For the N900P, the method I have used is rooting and replacing apns-conf.xml in etc folder after root. The new apns file is of 245 kb as against the sprint file of 6-8kb. This starts GSM data without any manual addition of APNs. The second option is rooting and editing the build.prop. ril.sales_code=LOL ro.csc.sales_code=LOL <- this will bring up the APN menu for manual input. After switching to GSM from CDMA, and going back to CDMA gives 'insert SIM to get mobile networks'. Dial ##3282#, SPCODE, 1x-hdr selection can do it. For this use this application from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=diewland.settings.mobilenetworks&hl=en More easier methods may come up. apns-conf.xml diewland.settings.mobilenetworks-1.apk

Good plan to convert inactive users into casual users Lifetime Validity i believe RCOM is in no intention to continue services under same company after 2021... Close to 80 Months of Validity. so effectively 80GB for 3000 Rs...Seems very expensive this way, But as a long validity plan its nice

Htc desire 816 dual sim. best option for CDMA even for rev B as well as gsm till date. and i would suggest you never go for imported phone because you will face lot of problems like:- 1. most of the imported phones don't support wifi tethering. for this you have to root your phone and do many things which also doesn't work sometimes. 2. If you will update then this won't support data(specially for CDMA,). very risky to update. 3. No warranty. 4. very rare seller supports after sale. 5. finally you will loose your peace of mind. Now a days in India, there are many options for cdma handsets as well:- 1. htc desire 816 dual sim (23000/-) - support rev B 2. htc e8 dual sim (32000-33000)-support rev B 3. htc one 802d dual sim (30000-33000)-support rev B 4. htc desire 700 dual sim (18000-19000)- support rev B (but not truely), fluctuate from rev B to A always. 5. htc desire 601c dual sim (20000-22000)- rev A 6. htc desire 516c dual sim (12990 fixed)- rev A All above handsets support cdma as well as gsm and available in market.

You are mixing imported handsets with local ones... its like apples and oranges... If imported handset is an option, then local purchase cant compete with the specs/price ratio. In geek community also know as bloat

GSM Clean Unlock with Wi-FI Tether for ZVD Backup all the files you want from the phone as this requires a complete stock state. Flash ZVD using LG Flash tool, or ZVC if you dont happen to have ZVD, and let the phone update to ZVD, Please do not update the phone to ZVE as the update only improves performance for SPRINT customers and we have not use of that update. Change mode to RUIM.Pref using DFS Root the phone using the ioroot from here. Once rooted install Root Explorer. Download carrier.rar it and copy the carrier.rar to your phones sd card. Install Rar on to your phone and unrar the carrier folder, do not go inside the folder and extract, make sure you extract the whole carrier folder, now run Root Explorer and copy the extracted carrier folder and paste it in root of the phone, it will prompt you that the file system is read only, do you wish to change mode to read and write, select yes and proceed, it will again prompt you if you want the carrier folder to be replaced, select yes, once copied change permission of the carrier folder as shown below in the pic. Delete telephony.db file from /data/data/com.adroid.settings.telephony/database/"telephony.db" --> this file. reboot your phone. Install Rom Toolbox Lite and use the build.prop editor and search ro.build.target_operator, change value from "SPR" to "spr" without quotes and reboot the phone, now install Radio Switcher, run it and change mode to GSM auto (PRL), reboot. Now change value of ro.build.target_operator=spr to SPR and SWITCH off the phone, pop in your GSM sim and switch on your phone. Thats it. For Activate phone bypass rename OmaDmclient.apk and OmaDMclient.odex to OmaDmclient.apk.bak and OmaDMclient.odex.bak respectively. Now GSM data will work with WIFI Tether. CDMA only Voice and SMS. for cdma data you have to change the ro.build.tyarget_operator=SPR to spr, but you need to dial 0 before any number else the phone dialer will crash and no wifi tether for this hack. Hope this helps.
