Hey All. I currently have a Galaxy Nexus with a ATT Straight Talk SIM. I am buying a T-Moble Galaxy S4 today for $320. I want to use it as my main phone, but I know I will have to unlock it and cut the SIM card. After I unlock it will I be able to get 4G speeds? Or will the band difference screw me? What if I was to get the new LTE straight Talk SIM Card?

Hi,
I just received a S4 for AT&T. I have service with T-mobile. With my previous phone (At&T galaxy note 2) the T-mobile service was absolutely horrible until I found a tutorial to run T-Mobile 3G/4G AWS bands on the AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317. So in order to receive full tmobile 4g on my AT&T S4 will I have to go thru the same process?? or will just unlocking the and putting my the phone be sufficient. Please let me know:good:
thanks in advance
I unlocked mine this morning by putting my coworkers T-Mobile SIM card from his S3 in my AT&T S4. After a swift boot up it showed T-Mobile 4G in the status bar so just putting the card in will be enough to get T-Mobile's 4G variant.

Can an international Galaxy Note 3 (model SM-N9005) work with Verizon?
From what heard.. I would have to get a replacement SIM card from VZW and use it on the SM-N9005's first boot
Cuz,
You will always have to get the sim from the providing service carrier unless you are willing to pay long distance charges!
You can get a Verizon sim for an ATT network, you may occasionally use a competitors tower but the service COMES FROM the sim!

you can use it but most likley if your not using a vzw sime you wont get 4g as well you will have to change the apn to whatever carrier you intend to use it on
I purchased a tmo note 4 and unlocked it run on att. I took the sim card out of my note 3 and put it and it provisioned by itself. I currently have lte even though att sees the phone as a blackberry 7100g. Since I am getting lte I was going to let my nephew use the note 3. Unfortunately the phone he has now is not an lte phone and uses a standard sim card so I can't stick it in the note 3. Can I buy just a micro sim card from att and ask them to activate with his phone number without having to bring in the note 3? Then I could put it in the note 3 and he would be good to go. I don't want them turning off the lte on my note 4 and I would rather not give them the imei from the tmo note 4. I wasn't sure if I should post this in a specific carrier forum.
I have an AT&T Tab 4 10.1 rooted and would like to use a SPRINT LTE SIM card in it. Is this possible? When I insert the SPRINT SIM it asks for a SIM unlock code. I do not have an AT&T account and never did, just Sprint. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!
Just bought my Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S8 from Walmart, so I took the Tracfone sim card out and put a AT&T sim card into it, it works!
My question: Is the Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S8 sim unlocked by default?
Thanks in advance
I tested mine with all four major carriers, ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile and started a Sprint free year on the device, so I guess the Walmart Straight Talk S8 is fully unlocked
