[Q] Is their any way to use CDMA sim in I5801 ? - Galaxy 3 General

Hello Everyone.. Need an Help. I want to know is their any way to use an CDMA sim in Galaxy 3 ?

I don't think you will be able to use cdma sim as frequencies used in our phone and the sim are different (a lot).
This is why the same phone is released twice (once gsm and other cdma) in some countries where cdma is used more
T mobile 3g frequency in america is about 100 Mhz more than what most of phones over there can operate at. That is why it lost popularity.
If there was a way why would phones have a limit to their frequecies

Do CDMA phones even use Sims? I'm pretty sure the network is built in to the phone.

You get cdma Sim cards just like gsm sims

N1s are already unlocked from the factory
There are two versions of the N1: one works with AT&T/Rogers frequencies, the other works with T-Mobiles frequencies.
You can use any sim card you want as long as your phone supports the carriers cell frequency.
You can use any SIM card, even if your carrier doesn't support the frequency, but you will get limited functionality...

could be possible, that he's talking about one of the vodaphone n1's.. I think they are carrier locked, but easily unlockable via root.
Vodaphone N1 is not sim locked I have one. But it has got a carrier tweaked rom.

Vidéotron N1's won't work on Rogers, Bell and Telus 3G; they will -only- work on Fido and Rogers 2G/Edge/GPRS.

A little in depth!
What's the best option from a UK perspective?
My play has the option to connect to either, or both with cdma preferred.
Im sure youre meaning wcdma and gsm... In which case wcdma is 3g network and gsm is 2g

As far as I'm aware we don't use cdma in the uk the cdma option translates to us as 2g
And does it say wcdma?

Sprint Galaxy s4 on Tmobile.

I never had a gsm phone so I dont know alot about world phones. On sprints community foruma there is much debate if the gs4 is a world phone. I see a sim slot my guess that it is. Anyway if I were to switch to tmobile, can this phone be used or is it completely impossible? Other countries use gsm networks only so being a world phone I would assume that it can be used with US gsm networks. Thanks.

It is a world phone but it is locked to Sprint only you can call sprint and have it unlocked for international and sprint simcards only no domestic Sims like from t-mobile and AT&T.

Okay did some research and youre correct. Invalid sim pops up when a local sim is inserted. Lets say I flash the google edition rom stock rooted. Now I know it will mess up all radio with cdma but will this bypass or does sprint have a hardware lock on the device?

Yes, it will work on tmobile for text and call when you unlocked it. For data, you need to change the apn setting to epc.tmobile.com. I am sure that you will get EDGE but not sure about 3g/4g or LTE.

That is not correct. It will work if you unlocked it. You will only get EDGE data for the time being in the US.

thanks for all but can someone put what will be the procedure in how its done and the call how it will work just fine or what? please i need to know to do it im a newbee .thanks to everyone
You can't do it, it is impossible. Sprint has US carriers blocked and there is no method to unlock to use a Sprint phone on Tmobile. So here is the steps to follow: List your Sprint phone on Ebay or Craigslist, Sell it, go buy a Tmobile S4, enjoy.

Im having difficulties rooting the S4. When I check it says its not rooted properly. Im still on MF9 and have no clue how to get it to MDC/MDL baseband. Any help? And how would you change the apn settings?

will not work don't waste your time trying. Maybe on verizon or another cdma carrier but not gsm just wont work. I read this question at least 100 times on xda and no one ever did it successfully or even partially. Trade or sell it

There seems to be a very dismissive attitude in this thread.
I have a Sprint HTC One and I can easily throw a T-Mobile SIM in there and get full service (sans LTE) with T-Mobile. The HSPA+ is faster than the Sprint 3G.
So while I do not have personal experience with the S4 in this fashion, I do not see why it would not be possible to get it unlocked and used on T-Mobile. (Unless Samsung/Sprint are blocking it for whatever reason)

SM-N9009 (China Telecom)

I made the mistake of trading for an N-9009 that I can't do much with. It's a CDMA phone with a GSM slot, but unfortunately the GSM is talk/text only (no data). It roams on Verizon, but my attempts to flash it to Page Plus are stopped because I can't get it into diag mode.
Does anyone know if any other ROMS can be flashed to this phone? I don't even care if I lose the second SIM slot.
Does anyone know how to get into diag mode, or if it's blocked all together?
Does anyone go to China and want the damned thing?
Currently there is only Android 4.3 for your model.
Maybe u can use it on Verizon or sprint they are cdma

It'll work fine providing you've sim unlocked and/or region unlocked it, you won't get LTE either usually just H+
