Still under contract Sprint iPhone 5 international use? - GSM-Forum

Hi all,

Friend of mine is going to visit Europe and has iPhone 5 under contract with Sprint. They did not want to unlock it most likely (my guess) because it was bought recently.
What are the options for using it over there including data but when they come back it would continue to work here again?

TIA

Anyone?
I'm surprised no one dealt with this before.

only sprint can unlock it for your, international only, no USA service.

Thanks!

So none of SIM solutions would work?

you must buy a R-SIM and it DONE

Ok, so now it's possible to unlock it without sprint?
There's so many of these, mini, air... Which one should work and what I need to do before they leave for the trip?
Thanks
