Do you mean in the US or as a international tmo phone? Why would you buy a Sprint phone and try to use it on a different carrier. Just buy a T-Mobile s4. Sounds fishy.

So are you wanting to use it on T-Mobile in the U.S. Or as a international phone?

As far as I know, their is no restriction on devices with this plan. So you should be fine with the Nexus 4. AT&T would be another story.

Just activate the SIM with the Nexus 4 and when you have to pick a plan, just choose the 30 dollar one on the website. No voodoo or black magic needed, T-Mobile doesn't care if you use this plan with your Nexus.

hi guys..
Whats the better device to buy
T-mobie/Note3/N900T ? AT&T/Note3/N900A ? Amazon-Unlocked/N9005
I will be primarily using the phone on t-mobile, but would like to use it in other countries like
India as well with local sim card/s
I can afford to buy the device... and am not on any plan at the moment,
also don't intend to marry a cell phone carrier...

I understand Samsung Devices are not generally Bootloader Locked... I am not sure of the carrier branded devices though (never used one) If the Nexus-5 ain't any good, I am going for the Note... The only thing I wish is that they eliminate the home button, I hate it... I just want a bezel less piece of glass..
Does anyone have any advice to someone looking to buy a Sprint galaxy s4 with MF9 bootloader?

Where to get one, essentially. The best way to check without having it in my hand.

Craigslist is your best bet. Check out the phone and go into settings/more tab/about device and look at the build number. That's where you want it to say MF9.

Hello!!
Okay So I am going to apologize now.... Im not a complete noob.... but apparently enough so that I cant get this to work.... Ive read enough post *going on two weeks worth* and talked to sprint... I know its do able, But I cant figure out what/how to make it work!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Sprint version sph l720t It has a sim card slot, Ive read post about people actually unlocking the phone and using different domestic SIMS.... but When I try to find the steps to do so i get this mish mash mess of different things nothing coherent..... one site says flash a diferent modem (but doesnt say wich one or where to get it) another says edit the build.prop file to access the hiden menus?!?
Can someone please help me!
It is NOT possible right now on the triband model. Only the regular GS4. Because you need to downgrade modem to MDC which is only available for the regular GS4 and will not flash on the Triband version.

sooooo all of the post of people saying they have? or sprint telling me it can be done?
Are ALL on the regular Sprint GS4. About 90% of the users on this forum have the regular phone. Sprint can unlock international but not domestic. And for sprint to.unlock the phone you have to have sprint service in good standing for at least 90 days.

I believe that the phones have different hardware in them (mostly for the T to support Spark).
I have read where other people have tried, but ended up soft bricking phones.

I don't think it is that much different since triband models are able to run Regular gs4 Roms with almost no issues.

So do you have any ideas? Im skilled with making most phones work. But im stumped on this one. Whats the difference? Spring has the SIM/GSM option.... I was at a spring store today, they said spring can and will unlock for domestic use.... just have to have it active on their service with 60days use.... OR I could unlock myself...... what are we missing?
I've already hit up @MikeChannon for a Sprint specific forum....between the unlocked/att/tmo/vzw & sprint models, only the sprint model will have a different ROM.
Sprint users, speak up
*edit*
as it stands, it's a wait & see game to see if the forums blow up after release...as for now, there has only been a Sprint Development sub-forum added
my suggestion for sprint users is if u start a new thread start w/ [Sprint] at the beginning of the thread title or at least have Sprint in the title somewhere. If there's enough Sprint specific threads, they may create a Sprint specific forum

I jumped ship when I bought the unlocked HTC 10, but I'll still hang out here as an honorary Sprint user )
Got tired of much slower updates and SERO stopped being a good value when compared to TMOUS $30 prepaid and Project Fi.

You have to take anything the reps say with a grain of salt....I doubt the unlocked will officially support Sprint. I know the Sprint model will have a different rom, all the others will use the same.

Can't rely on chat reps for correct info. Sprint is the only major carrier not supported by the US Unlocked U11.
"Supported carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, MetroPCS, Alaska Communications, Cricket, NET 10, Straight Talk & WalMart Family Mobile."

I wouldn't believe the Sprint reps either... Not even the Sprint model has the Voicemail app.
But hell, I'd be more than happy to flash the unlocked rom if it supported Sprint, but I highly doubt it will
