Hello,
Ive been using a Verizon S5 in Canada for the past year. I didn't have to unlock the phone, and it works fine except for a few things.
I recently rooted the S5 to get rid of some Verizon bloatware. My only problem right now is not being able to call the *611 customer service number. It keeps ringing the Verizon one instead of Canada's Koodo one.
Also unable to check voicemails because of this.
If anyone could let me know a fix for this please let me know!
Thanks

What network are you using this phone on?

Has anyone started working on the Verizon Galaxy tab?
I know they were able to make the T-Mobile version make phone calls last night.
Well it is totally possible, I saw the Activation dial to *228 upon first turning it on. Even displayed the Phone icon in the top status bar during this process.
I guess it all would depend on getting the correct Phone.apk and supporting files. And then of course getting someone at Verizon to activate this as a "Smartphone" vs. a "Tablet" so that you can' actually make/receive calls.
T-Mo tablet was able to make calls by replacing files from the EU version and using a SIM from a active phone, but I don't think we are going to find anther CDMA version anywhere else except VZW and Sprint that supports voice like the EU versions.
Hi! I'm from Mexico and I bougth a Verizon Galaxy tab without knowing I wouldn't have phone calls, I feel like a moron I was able to activate it as a smartphone in my contry so I'm looking forward for a working firmware.
All the stuff for the phone is there, someone just has to make it work. I see the phone apk here on my Sprint tab, they are just blocking it somehow.
I bought a US Cellular galaxy tab of craigslist( even tho I'm die hard Verizon...) for $250, clean esn and everything but would be very interested because if someone can make it work on the Verizon tab I can for sure make it work on mine

my is from verizon... actually i am here in mexico and when it goes to activate it dials to iusacell (cdma carrier here in mexico)...
we just need some one to "unlock it"...
Sorry, I was mistaken. My galaxy tab is from Sprint not Verizon. Anyway from what I know both use CDMA network so Verizon tab should work in Iusacell without problem. To activate it I just called the iusacell help desk and provided my device ID. That's all, the activation was successfull but my tab still notify me that I'm using roaming.
I'm planning to visit iusacell directly. In the meanwhile I thing we can just wait for a jailbreak for CDMAs tabs.
I almost forgot....
If you go to iusacell web page. There's an activation chat button in the rigth top edge. Just click it and an iusacell employee will ask you for your tab ID (HEX number behind your tab). After some minutes your tab will be activated in Mexico. If you have success could you provide your experience? I'm still trying to register the device in Renaut without luck.

Well, I gave mi tab to some guy that work in iusacell, and is fully working in prepaid even with free internet at 1x (not sure is legal). He need it one full week to configure.
Not roaming, is in renaul (the guy from iusacell registered).
If you want the contact let me know.
Lets hope some one bring phone calls to this baby.
Of course! I want my tab working in Mexico , I'm not sure if the rules of the forums allow us to share contact information so I will go directly to tech support and I will be providing my expirience in a few days.
Do you have SMS?
I think we should create a new thread because we are really far from the main topic....
I created a thread to avoid filling this thread with no related posts.

Does anyone know if the europe rom would work on the verizon tab?

This is my first android so please excuse the lack of experience with it.
I am using a Verizon Galaxy S5 with an AT&T sim in it. I got data to work after entering the AT&T APN settings and everything else is working except for incoming phone calls caller id format. Incoming calls are showing up as +-xxx-xxxx Example: +714-555-1212
If that call is from someone in my contact list it will not be identified. If I call back that number it will fail as it is assumed to be an invalid international number
I called AT&T support but they refused to help me stating that I am at fault for not using an AT&T device.
I have rooted the device using towel root and removed all Veirzon blotware.
I also installed PreFixer and it works sometime but I prefer to find a permanent solution if possible.
Question: is it possible to convert my Verizon S5 into an AT&T one by flashing it and installing an AT&T image? or will that brick my device?
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
I appreciate your replies.
I just bought a galaxy s5 off craigslist and verified the imei # on swappa.com and it said it was ready to activate. But it turns out it's still on someone's account. I don't think it's stolen cause the guy at sprint said the last name on the account was the same as the person that sold it to me. It didn't have a SIM card in it so I couldn't tell it was still activated.
So is there anyway I can still unlock it and use it with verizon cause the girl I bought it from keeps acting like she is getting it removed but the account is in her grandmothers name and she is really sick

A Sprint S5 will not work on Verizon, so even if you could unlock it while it's still activated on a Sprint account, it wouldn't do you any good.
Unless the person you bought it from is willing to refund your money, you're stuck with a phone you can't use.

You would also need the IMEI number to be entered into Verizon's system in order to access their CDMA network, and Verizon does not add non-Verizon phones to their system for that.
If she deactivated the phone, I would just sell it.
I have a similar problem with my galaxy S5 from sprint. I was told from 2 different sprint call center people that with the MSL code (which I already got) the phone can be used with another domestic company and also international.
From that point I started an account with T Mobile, but when I inserted the SIM card into my phone it doesnt recognize it and obiusly have no signal.
Ive tried different methods to get the phone into the GSM frecuency, even accesing to the Hidden Menu and choosing ONLY GSM FREC, tried to add an APN, and now I'm thinking to install a g900t ROM to make it work...
If anyone here can help me out with this or refer me to a thread that could help, I will appreciate that
Help please. I bought I verizon samsung galaxy s5 thinking that I could easily use it on t-mobiles network, obivously this is not the case. After much time and combing these forums i have been able to get everything to work except i don't get a voicemail notification anymore (i had previously called t-mobile and they had put in a ticket for it, it was working til last night). Does anyone know how to fix this? my phone is not rooted.
Thanks
Hello Everyone,
I am hoping you guys can help me out. I purchased a Verizon branded HTC 10 [GSM unlocked] an am having trouble setting it up on my network in Canada (Koodo/Telus). I am wondering if I may have purchased the wrong device for my network as I keep on getting the notification "Sim Card is not from Verizon Wireless". However, when I checked the IMEI with Koodo online, it indicated that it "should" work. If it is wrong, I believe I still can return it. Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Update: it seems that I'm able to access most of my phone's features after resetting it. However, I still cannot access my voicemail. Any suggestions?

Go to settings, call, voicemail, voicemail settings, and enter the Telus voicemail number which I'm sure you can find on Google.
