Can I get a Verizon S5 and put in my AT&T Sim to use it on AT&T?
I think so but you won't have LTE

No you can't. Even with an unlocked sim, it's only for international carriers. Not domestic

Is that only for the S5? Cause other Verizon phones do work on at&t, just no LTE.

While that used to be the case on Verizon's 3G only devices, it's not true with most of Verizon's LTE devices, including the S5. As per their agreement with FCC in order to get some of their LTE spectrum, their devices have to be SIM unlocked, which includes not having any bands locked out at the hardware level (like they used to do on 3G phones that had GSM capabilities to prevent them from being used on domestic GSM carriers). With LTE, since Verizon uses completely different bands than AT&T, it's not a matter of things being locked, but simply of the hardware not being there (which doesn't impact the agreement with the FCC). Verizon phones having the hardware for all of AT&T's LTE bands is rare.
Thanks for the update guys

That sucks. I was hoping for the dev edition to work on AT&T. Hopefully, a Google Play Edition will rear it's head soon.

It may be a miracle. I was using the International Samsung Galaxy Note and was only receiving edge on T-Mobile. I learned why this was and hoped it would change. About three nights ago exactly I was trying to use my data which was edge which did not work at all. I was not sure why. Then the following night I was at a dinner party in Cougar Mountain Drive which is in the Bellevue area. All of a sudden I turned on my data and guess what I saw. A big H+ staring me back in the face. I was so overjoyed I could not even begin to explain. But alas, I could not longer see the H+ when I returned home in the Seattle Area. Is T-Mobile finally refarming? We can all hope can't we? What do you guys think?
Probably Tmo rolling out 4G in select areas.
You can always apply the Tmo radio to get 4G

that's only with the at&t version. I believe OP was referring to T-mobile expanding their network bands to the ones used by at&t

That's awesome advice....not. Are you trying to get him to brick his phone?
This is an N7000.
T-Mobile has been working on standing up the 1900 frequency, which is the same band AT&T uses, and the band included in all international phones. They have been using AWS which is the 1700 band. This is why all new-ish T-mobile phones are pentaband. You must have been in an area that they already converted over. It is supposed to be complete sometime in 2013.
I have a similar story. While visiting in Concord, CA. Downtown where the Old Spaghetti Factory is: I was able to get HSPA+ on my Infuse i997. Looking forward to the refarm taking place all over the usual spots.

Yes. That's my dream is to ruin other devices. Its already been successfully done with the AT&T Note. Do some research.

:| You didn't bother reading the rest of the thread did you? It can only be done on the ATT note because ATT was preparing for their merge wit T-mobile. "Do some research."
Its the same reason that the Skyfire can be flashed to t-mobile.
Post it on airportal.de because it is the only way to track it besides HowardForums.

It's okay to be ignorant but no need for remarks like that. International note and at&t are different.

I now understand its not those models. It was my fault for not realizing. People on this forum are so quick to pounce on someone's mistake. His comment wasn't necessary and neither was mine. Simple.

I understand that T-mobile has re-farmed 1900 MHz for 3G service in the Boston, MA area.
Is this service available to T-Mobile pre-paid PAYG customers? On the $3/day plan?
Is there any requirement for a GBA SIM? Or any newer SIM?
Are there any specialized APN settings?
Any specialized phone settings? "Force" WCDMA 1900 MHz only from the Service Menu?
I have an international un-locked Samsung Galaxy S II (I9100), and a 7 year old T-Mobile pre-paid SIM.
I have been able to use GSM data (2G: GPRS/EDGE) as recently as July, 2012.
My visits are brief so I use the $2/day plan but would like to be able to use 3G.
current reports,
no specific deals with TMO regarding network sharing,
i'd doubt AT&T will lend the networks without a fair price

Does this device contain all the radios for all carriers or is it specific? The Nexus 5 has one model for US and an international model. Sprint ATT and T-Mobile variants all are the same.

It can be used on different networks because it's a global phone.
However the LTE band is specific to Verizon

I currently have active Verizon line, and an unlocked T-mobile Galaxy Note 3. Is there any possible way to get the Note 3 worked on Verizon? it's SM-N900T, and i can see it supports CDMA also.
Thanks
No, Verizon won't activate it

It may work, but it may require running VZW kernels or radios. Same hardware though, so there is likely a way.

Hi peeps...
a Proud new owner of my first Samsung phone.. Im a Nexus owner, owned a 4, 5 and 6P
My first question is does this phone support Carrier Aggregation in Canada, more specifically, for Telus/Koodo...
Thanks

What do you mean? I just answered that, this phone works on Telus and Koodo. Telus uses Bells towers, Koodo uses Telus towers,therefore there is no carrier aggregation as every carrier uses same towers and just pays a rental fee to have more coverage to the third party radio tower owners.

hello everyone, I switched carrier to T-mobile, want to use my Z force from Verizon with my new T-mobile sim, the phone is paid off. what's the best way to get it unlocked?
Build a big bon fire in your backyard. Draw a giant red "V" on your body. Then dance around the fire while chanting. "Release me Big Red. Release me Big Red". Do this till you pass out. When you wake up your phone will work with any network...
Or you could skip all that and just put your TMO sim in the phone since it's already sim unlocked.

You're familiar with LTE bands, correct?
Z Force supports bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 13.
T-Mobile supports bands 2, 4, 12.
So long as you are in a T-Mo "refrequencied" area that supports LTE over band 2 (I think), you're fine.
Can this device be used on the sprint Network?
