Hi,
I just moved to the US and have a German Note 3 which is free for all carriers. My employer gave me a Verizon SIM to be used while being in the US.
I cannot activate the phone with the SIM and Verizon tells it won't work since the phone is not a Verizon Note 3.
Is there any way to flash the phone with a Verizon firmware or open it to a Verizon SIM in another way?
The phone does not have the region lock from Samsung anymore since I have used it in Germany for a month with a local provider.
Thanks much

Can't be done. Verizon variant has different radios and Verizon won't activate non-Verizon devices on their network anyway.
Thanks. So now I have a international Note 3 for sale ...

I did some searching but couldn't really make anything out... is it possible to unlock my Sprint Galaxy S4 for AT&T Use?
No, not yet anyways. The only thing possible at the moment is to have the SIM unlocked by Sprint for international SIM card usage while overseas.
It's already unlocked, I took my phone over seas and just popped my sim in there and everything was working fine

That's cool to hear. You're the first example I've read about whose S4 just worked out of the box with an international SIM without getting it unlocked first from Sprint. Did you buy the phone brand new from Sprint at a retail location?

no actually you might be right, i went to a samsung event and won it there and im on employee line.
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!

Hello,
Is there a way to unlock the factory locked (Verizon, etc..) Galaxy S5, and make it work with any phone network in the world?
Please tell me about all the possible ways. Thank you.
I bought my S5 from a Canadian carrier which had network locked the phone.
All it took to unlock my S5 was a simple unlock code and a sim card from an alternate service provider.
Depending on where you look, you can find unlock codes online for varying prices, I bought my unlock code from cellunlocker.net and it took me roughly 5 hours to receive the code via email from them. All I needed to do afterwards was input the provided unlock code and my phone was instantly network unlocked.

was it cheaper to buy from a carrier then buy a separate unlock code compared to other methods of buying?

What about Sprint? And does that mean it could be used with AT&T or T-Mobile?

Yes sometimes it was cheaper to get unlock code from other source rather than from a carrier. i try several times phoneunlockingshop.ca and find it cheaper then the carrier here in Canada
Didn't realize there was a specific phone forum.. <.< ( posted in general discussion)
I'm planning on going to either Japan or Korea and was wondering which Note 3 will work best. The Verizon Note 3 (Is it true that all of them are factory unlock? I read that it isn't) or the ATT unlocked phone?
What country are you coming from?

I'd say T-Mobile because of the free international data, free Wifi calling back to the US, and $.20 a minute international calls.
So GSM? (ATT/Tmobile). I was asking mainly because I got interviews to work in Japan or Korea and wanted to bring with me my phone (I have a ATT Note 2 on Net10). I wanted to use their cell towers and wanted to see if LTE would work, or which one would work better
T-MOBILE S7 Edge works on Verizon, ATT with unlocked Sim card! I also have LTE on All 3 Networks.
First question is how did you get your phone unlocked? I thought tmobile made you wait 45 days before they would unlock the phone

A lot of times if the phone is paid off, it'll unlock as long as it meets 1 requirement.
Sweet Verizon is super fast and coverage is virtually anywhere.

Does it have CDMA support?
I am able to make calls. I'm not sure because I use dialpad for all of my calls.

I said that I was going over seas for a trip. Then the device unlock app was activated.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Verizon uses a lte sim card for data only. There will not be(shouldnt be anyway) any call support because the 935t does not have cdma, unless verizon is using different bands on newer devices like tmobile(band 12 - 700a)
