what didn't work? if you say LTE or MMS on another network that's because 1)LTE won't work on any other network because of different baseband. 2) you need to set the correct APNs.

Then you must have not followed all of the proper steps. It does in fact work.

Confirmed NAE S4 domestic working on T-mobile and AT&T.
you need to interantional unlock first
a quick google search on sprint s4 sim unlock would get you all you need.

the domestic unlock thread requires the user to complete the international unlock first.

Did you revert to MDL modem?
Could you make sure the s4 is reading sim correctly( when plug T-mobile sim, it should say unsupport sim or something).
Here is a procedure I follows.

not so fast
I attempted to order an unlock for my ATT i9505 from a popular unlocking website. They were unable to provide the service and had to refund my money. If you want to attempt this at this early stage, use an unlocking service with a refund policy until more is known.

Eventually this will be sorted. However it's still very early... Patience is a virtue.

Yes I have. I posted it earlier somewhere. Www.fastgsm.com did it for me. Took them 24hrs $29.99 but they refund you $20 if you upload video of yourself doing it. 100% works and I did it on a upgraded line.
It was for i337 att but they have a few galaxy s4 options im sure one of them will work just ask them.

Anyone use ATT Prepaid on the S4?

I was wondering if anyone is using this? Does ATT have prepaid micro sims? Will I need to sim unlock my device? Thanks!

As long as you activate the SIM on the AT&T or international variant that you have, you didn't specify, it will work. I do not think you will have LTE though.

I use to have go phone $60 plan on it. It works great. Go to the att store and they should hook it all up for you. Inculding the micro Sim card. You'll get LTE. Just have them program it correctly.

It should come for free with the purchase of the 60$ plan. Check our your nearest att store. All the stores around me give it for free.

[Q] 2 Sim Cards One Phone

Idk if this is possible. I have an Unlocked AT&T phone and I would like to use it on T-Mobile. If I decide I don't want to keep T-Mobile and return to AT&T using the same device, can I?
Thank You
An unlocked phone will work with whatever company's sim card is currently installed, given that the sim card is activated.

Well the problem was that the LTE radio was the only radio band turned on, since I have my s4 unlocked to Metro, it wouldn't pick up the LTE band. In the "How To" guide for domestic unlock, I did the whole process again, but only when I selected "LTE ALL" in the service menu is when the rest of the bands turned back on and my signal came back.
