Unlock To Canada? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Hey guys, so I heard that there's a removal sim that I can use on my Sprint S4? I'm planning on leaving to Canada for a couple of weeks and would love to use my phone over there if possible... Anybody got any ideas on how I could do it?
Thanks in advance!

Haha I'm going to canada for 2 weeks this Thursday to see my gf xD

I looked and I didn't see it! I've seen them before, but that was a couple months back before I knew I was going and now I can't find them. I figured they were deleted or something......

Call sprint and ask them to unlock it. Then pop in a Sim card and I'd you don't get "error no Sim" stuff then you are good to go.

Help! Anyone in Los Angeles area with a Nexus 4 (16gb) Not on T-Mobile

First off, not sure if this is in the right section but if its not please mods feel free to move. Also if this in anyway violates forum rules please remove.
With that said, as the title implies I need help from someone that fits the description of the title. Why? Long story, but I'll try summarizing it.
I bought a use nexus, everything works and its in perfect condition. Except that its blocked from T-Mobile. I hadn't notice this as I just recently tried activating it with them. before that I was with AT&T and everything worked perfectly. So what do I need? I would like to find someone who is willing to swap phones (same model). That only needs it for AT&T (or straight talk, etc). Like stated, phone is in perfect condition except a small scratch near the sim slot, Unlock boot loader, running Carbon ( I could put it back to stock). So please if you're willing to help me out PM me and we could work something out. Thanks.

If its blocked from T-Mobile it was stolen and the IMEI was blacklisted. Irreversible, unless you want to illegally change the IMEI
Google is your friend there

Nice information. So is there anyway to check a used phone if it is in any blacklist?
What do mean "it's blocked by Tmobile?"

As in bad IMEI number, up till yesterday I had no idea T-Mobile blocked phones. My guess is that the guy who sold it to me was doing fraud, report it lost so he could get another one. Reason being is that a few days later he hit me up asking me if I wanted another one of course I had no need for it so I just disregard his message...
Anyhow, if anyone is willing to do an swap. Let me know and we could work something out.
It works perfectly for at&t or any other carrier except T-Mobile :/

My guess is no, unless you call T-Mobile and ask em about the IMEI number. So if you're planning on purchasing a use T-Mobile phone call first!

Stolen/fraud and ATT will likely block the phone soon since they started sharing their blacklist database last year.
I feel for you. I also appreciate the full disclosure. But, I think that you're most likely stuck with it. After all this is a forum full of nexus owners so you'd be hard pressed to get a someone to even swap their nexus that's on the network of their choosing for one with a questionable esn. Perhaps if you sweetened the pot(throw in some $) you'd have better luck.
With that out the way... why didn't you demand a refund from the seller? Or at least swapped for the phone he text to try to sell you? Did you even tell the seller about the fact you couldn't activate the phone?

[Q] Locked Bootloader?

So apparently the S4's Bootloader is locked on AT&T. Does this mean I will not be able to use custom ROMS if I get this phone or do I just have to wait for an exploit to come out? I am trying to decide weather I should get the S4, HTC ONE, or the Optimus G Pro. I am leaning towards the S4 but if I can not get rid of the crap Samsung bloatware I don't want to get this phone.
So whats the verdict?
EDIT
Oops this is sprint board. Sorry.
You do know this is sprint right.

As to your answer. Im not sure if the older sim cards work. The ones you can buy for a dollar on ebay/amazon. Notice some are based on older sim cards but precut in micro size.
Remember that questions belong in the Q&A section or in respected thread.

[Q] Upgrading Thoughts

So I have been using a Galaxy Nexus for the past couple years, and finally decided to use my upgrade on the GS4 a couple months ago. I'm regretting the choice with the Note 3 coming out, as that was the phone I wanted but just couldn't wait for it to be released. Anyone have any ideas of a place I could sell my GS4, or any strategies with Verizon to let me swap my GS4 for the Note 3? Any advice? TIA
Swappa eBay and more search it on the internet

[Q] Can I use a AT&T sim in my VZW Note 3?

I've been looking for two hours now, and I cannot find a direct answer, I want to swap in between services, is the vzw note 3 sim unlocked right out of the box?
Im really sorry if there is a thread already, I could not find it, please and thanks everybody.

I can confirm that I switched the sim from my note 2 from att to my Verizon note 3 and it could make phone calls. But I wasn't able to get data. I tried to switch the app settings but that didn't work for me.
