Is there any way to use the xoom internationally for data? Can I put a sim card in France in the device so I can search the web? Or is the only way to use the internet internationally via Wifi or wifi tether?
No sim card, it's cdma. It's been asked before, try searching. You could use it with WiFi only.

what i read online is that the mz601 and the 603 run on GSM frequencies.. if this means its simlock free or even using the right standards no clue
I'm curious about this too cause 4G LTE is not a CDMA technology and requires a SIM. http://goo.gl/0dyw7
Someone must be able to clarify this. Apparently LTE 4G requires a SIM, but does that mean a GSM SIM will work?
The xoom coming out now that is cdma is not compatible with gsm networks. When you 4G rolls out you will need a LTE sim card. There is a possibility since Verizon is owned by Vodafone that if you go to a Vodafone area then LTE may work internationally. but if you want to get the xoom right now then no its not going to work with a gsm sim.
[Q] I wonder if there is a possible way to use my Thunderbolt LTE SIM in a Xoom or other LTE device Verizon? Also, I would like to know more about LTE frequencies. Like, if I cloned my Verizon SIM with a AT&T LTE Sims, would I be allowed to use AT&T devices on my Verizon account despite the obvious?
Why cloning? Unlock the phone, simple and easy. Sim cloning is getting harder every day, even the old 2g sims with latest encription is hard to clon.it may takes even days..
Lte sims can be used in any lte phones if the phone is not network locked. Remember that sim is not locked to a phone, the thing is phones can be locked to a network via software or cid or nand locking methods. Unlock the phone, use it in any network ( not applicable for cdma phones which can be used in cdma networks ONLY and dont have sim slots ) provided the phone have corresponding network reception bands( hardware limited/ very few times software limited, nothing can be done if u r hardware limited, but software limitations can be unlocked).

Verizon and AT&T both use the 700Mhz field for their LTE but is the small differences that won't allow Swapping
AT&T - 704 - 746MHZ
Verizon - 746MHZ - 787MHZ
Now if they eventually down the road overlap each other in an identical field then yes its possible but Verizon at the moment is using LTE for DATA only and using CDMA for Voice (for now) while AT&T uses both Voice/Data on its LTE.
But Yes you can switch Verizon LTE Phones all you want.. Your account is tied to the Simcard so swap away... I had an HTC Thunderbolt, bought the Rezound and just hot swapped the simcard without ever telling Verizon and it works .... Now I'm not sure if swapping LTE simcard between a tablet and Phone will work the same way.. I would figure yes since the Tablet is only going to use LTE.. but not 100%
It will work. I use my Rezound's SIM for the phone and my Novatel Jetpack. It shows on my account as the Jetpack, with unlimited talk and text.
Im using my Galaxy Nexus(cdma) micro sim in my "new" iPad, no problems.. unlimited data.. and I use Line2 app as my phone/sms. Im sure google voice sms might work for sms too.
Thanks. This is the answer I was hoping for

Don't lte SIM cards say 4g on them ?
Thank
Edit . When I web search the sku 72290
It tells me iPhone 4/4s micro SIM
i think you have to have the correct sim card and they also have to provision your card on the network correctly for it to work right....you should call ATT if your's isn't working right
Tough to say, I'd take it to the store I, work for att. Have them cover all the bases. Get a new sim to be sure its not faulty and have them check the imei for your phone on their end. If that doesn't fix it call customer care and request they re-register your phone. Once that is done if your having the problem still and others with att are getting good coverage its most likely your phone.

I think it's something to do with the porting.
Its now flashing hspa + 4g.
I know when I received my phone att had included a non lte sim I had to have it changed out at the att store.
Your SIM is probably OK but your account needs to be provisioned for lte.
Just to be sure you have the att model SGS III?

Dose anybody know if a unlocked GSM phone will work on a CDMA sprint Sim Card??

No. It's like trying to install Windows 3.1 on a new Mac (not a VM). The two technologies are incompatible. However you could get a T-Mobile/AT&T SIM card and put it on their service. T-Mobile has some pretty good deals like the 5GB/100 min/unlimited SMS 4G service (4G as in unthrottled pure LTE bliss) for $30 at Wal-mart or t-mobile.com under the prepaid section (harder to find).
I have a Samsung Note 3 that I bought from Mobilicity (Canada).
It is unlocked.
When I put my Wind Mobility SIM card in, the data says 4G.
I want to give the phone to my sister, who broke hers, but she is with Rogers.
I put her Rogers SIM in my phone and everything works great.
But, I don't understand why the phone says 3G with her Rogers SIM in it.
Does anyone know why? I was under the impression that Rogers is faster than Wind's data. So how can Wind be 4G but Rogers 3G.
Both carriers have the same model number of the Note 3.
Wind has 4g? Maybe the Rogers card is not an LTE sim?
Could be any number of reasons:
- The provider isn't enabled for 4G in the Build.prop.
- The SIM is too old.
- The SIM doesn't support LTE
Probably the first. The list of 4G enabled providers rarely makes sense. It is literally just a matter of 'true' or 'false'.
We had a similar issue in the EU with various firmwares when 4G became available, every CSC has its own list of 4G enabled providers. For instance, DBT (Germany) had 4G enabled for T-Mobile NL, while the T-Mobile NL firmware didn't have 4G enabled for itself.

Hmm... I'll ask my sister to check her SIM card. But I doubt they would have given her the wrong "new" SIM card that she just got.
If the Rogers sim card is new, it would be a LTE-enabled card so that can't be it. Also, Wind only has a 3g network.

Okay... but like I said, when my Wind SIM is in, my Note 3 displays 4G.
When my sister's Rogers SIM is in, it shows 3G.
With the Wind sim, is it connected to the Wind network or is the phone roaming? Is the phone set to auto/LTE in settings? The phone is running a completely stock ROM? Phone is the sm-n900w8?

It's connected to the Wind Network... it's not roaming.
Under "Network Mode" it says:
WCDMA/GSM (auto-connect).
Wcdma/gsm appears with the wind card or Rogers card?
I've seen Samsung phones with stock firmware incorrectly displaying 4G for Wind, even though Wind's network is 3G.

Wind is 4G.
Wind mobile has HSPA+ but friends that have their service usually get 3G.

Okay thanks for this comment above. It was helpful because it got me searching for more along that line.
When I went into the settings, there was no option to choose LTE, but I know it's an LTE capable phone because the box said it was, and the sticker on the phone said 4G/LTE.
So I did some searching and found that there is a code that you have to use to set the phone to the Network you are using if you want to make use of the LTE.
Rogers has LTE.
I will go into a Rogers and ask them to do it, because I don't want to ruin my sister's phone (my phone that I gave to her, because her's broke).
It's *2012# (IMEI)* Something like that. I have it written down, so I'll bring it to the Rogers store and ask them.
Hopefully that will get her phone working on Rogers LTE, but in the meantime, she hasn't noticed a difference in data speed anyway.
But thanks for your help, and also to everyone else who posted a reply. :victory:
Have a similar thing going on with EE.
Supposed to choose 4g if available but it's not always the case.
Sometimes shows 3g or H+ but if I change my network mode to LTE only then I get 4g no problem.

I don't have the phone anymore. My sister has it, so I can't check. She's technically challenged, so I wouldn't even be able to get that info from her on the phone. Lol
But I will see if I need to turn on the other bands by using that code to set it to Rogers' service.
