do will find in the near future one method?

The unfortunate truth that none of us want to tell you is that you're essentially screwed. Living outside of America, you've got about a 0% chance that Sprint will unlock it for you and the 3rd-party solutions don't seem feasible. Sorry, but you've got a really beautifully made paperweight.

Do not ever hope?

The Sprint iPhone likely can never be unlocked unless Sprint does it.... If there eventually is a way, we will all find out pretty quick I think.

CDMA phones DO use SIM cards to access the LTE network. This is why all LTE capable CDMA phones now have SIM card slots.

This is also why the current iPads will work on GSM/CDMA networks just by swapping sims.

Wrong, I have a Galaxy S3 on Sprint with LTE and no sim card.

Most of the newer 4G LTE phones on Sprint have UICC chips, they aren't quite SIM cards though. They are only used to get the LTE service. Even if you unlock the device, it still can't use GSM locally. Some don't have the hardware to do actual GSM at all.

You are actually the wrong one. The Sprint S3 has an embedded non-removable SIM card for LTE access inside the phone. Go to Settings, About Phone and see your ESN/MEID, embedded ICCiD (SIM Card) number amongst other info.

I believe that by February 11 2015. Sprint has to unlock iphone or any phone. To be used here in the us.

Sprint?s unlocking policy appears to apply only to postpaid customers. I am a prepaid customer. Am I eligible to have my device unlocked?
Neither Sprint nor its prepaid affiliates (Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, and Assurance Wireless) currently unlock devices for prepaid customers. However, in accordance with the Unlocking Commitment, Sprint and its prepaid affiliates are working to create new policies and procedures in order to unlock prepaid devices, or to provide the information necessary to unlock the devices, after certain eligibility requirements to be established are met. Consistent with the Unlocking Commitment, Sprint and its prepaid affiliates will implement these new policies and procedures no later than February 11, 2015.
