I was wondering if this would work on a Nexus 6p with AT&T. I ask this due to the fact that on their website it states that it needs a HD voice compatible device for it to work. AT&T does not allow the Nexus 6P to work with a HD voice band. I logged on to my AT&T account and it would let me add a numbersync account.
bump
It will work using "Call Forwarding" but not actual "NumberSync" but it's pretty close . . .
Any progress on this?
I have a factory unlocked balckberry priv and it will not let me add numbersync telling me I have a non HD voice device. You said it let you add it? I think it will work fine and that it is just a way to force you to have an ATT phone also.
I am going to try and borrow an ATT phone with HD voice to activate numbersync and then put the sim back into my Priv... Just have to find someone around me with an actual ATT phone.. I usually get everyone I know unlocked phones.. haha

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....

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

So, yesterday I said goodbye to Sprint and the account is activated and I have till 1-7-13 to port the number out or they will charge for another month of service rates. I have ordered a Nexus 4 and will be here in 6-7 weeks, patience is a virtue. In the meantime I am using an old flip phone with AT&T pay as you go for $25.00 I want to port my sprint number but, do not have the new phone before 1-7-13 when the account will be closed.
Questions:
1-I ordered a Tmobile prepaid micro sim card and should get it tomorrow. Should I go ahead and activate the sim card and port the number even though I do not have the Nexus 4 yet?
2- If I activate online, can I port the Sprint number online or should I call TMobile to do it?
3-Can I buy a cheap TMobile prepaid phone, activate it and then switch the sim card to the Nexus 4 when it comes in? Doing this will allow me to test TMobile in my area before I get the phone or since it is a cheap phone I should wait to get the beast?
4-What is the advantage of porting the number to Google Voice? If I am possibly going to be testing TMobile and ATT Straight Talk plans for a month each. I do not want to lose my 13 year old phone number and have to notify all my contacts of a new number from either ATT or TMobile.
I am just trying to make a smooth and simple porting of the phone number from Sprint asap since the account will be closed on -7-13 before the Nexus 4 gets to me. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
It is a bit confusing when the Walmart employee tells me that the TMobile sim cards with the phones they sell are tied to those phones and you can not switch to the Nexus 4. She also told me that the $30.00 plan on TMobile only applies to Walmart purchased phones. When I questioned TMobile on this, they stated that was not true and since I am not buying the phone from Walmart, I can order the TMobile prepaid sim card and activate it online and still get the $30 plan. Then, to call TMobile and they would port my number over.
Thanking in advance,
Ian B
1) Unless you have a phone in which you can activate the MicroSIM card you plan to use in the N4, wait. The setup process asks for an IMEI, and while I don't think it matters, you wouldn't have your Nexus 4's IMEI yet.
2) When you activate the T-Mobile MicroSIM, the process will include having them transfer the number from Sprint. Just have your Sprint account info handy.
3) The advantage of using Google Voice is that it adds some flexibility in how it's used, without using "minutes". This is popular on, for example, the $30/month T-Mobile plan, since it only has 100 minutes of talk.

AJ;
Thanks for the info but, as you can see the account will close on 1-7-13 before the Nexus 4 gets to me at the end of January 2013. I could get the cheapest prepaid TMobile phone to activate the sim card and get the Sprint phone number ported over before I lose it on 1-7-13 which I do not want to lose.
What do you think on buying the cheapest prepaid TMo phone idea?
Thanks again,

You shouldn't need a device to activate your sim card through Straight Talk (i'm on it now with AT&T). The only thing it will ask for is your straight talk SIM Card information and the phone number you want to port.
https://www.straighttalk.com/secure/Activate - Select "Transfer my number from another company"
It will walk you through the steps, I did this with both my wife and I account (both coming from Verizon).
Porting for my wife took only 30 minutes while mine took close to 8 hours. It will still port even though you dont have it in a device. From what I remember you can only confirm the port was successful is when you use the SIM (it shows as HOME instead of No Service).
If you want to ask straight talk directly, best to use their twitter feed as they respond better there.

Thanks Ibegary;
I will hold off on buying a prepaid phone then. I called earlier Straight Talk customer service and had a hard time understanding them. I don't use Twitter but, your link is pretty self explanatory. I think is the same issue with TMobile. They just shipped my sim card today and once it comes in, I can port the number to them without having a device and activate the sim card. They told me I have 120 days to get money into the account.

About Verizon -- Do you know how the Verizon billing process comes into play. I am currently with Verizon, on contract. Waiting and preparing for the N4. Received a shipping confirmation today, for the Straighttalk ATT microsim card. Will I need to call Verizon and cancel my service, after ST ports the number from my Verizon account? If the number is ported in the middle of the Verizon billing cycle, do I get nicked for the whole billing period? Or, are Verizon charges suspended, automatically, once ST takes control of the number? I would like to avoid the charge for a whole month of Verizon, if the N4 arrives on or shortly after the start of a new billing period. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

First question: Do you plan to use Google Voice?
If NO, then hold off on activating the SIM until you have your phone in hand.
If YES, then this is the perfect time to port your number to Google Voice from Sprint (as I did) so you get to keep the same phone number and use VOIP to make and receive your calls, plus all the benefits of Google Voice. It will take 24 hours exactly until the number port is complete. It will take a day or two more until you can receive text messages through Google Voice. When you finally have your Nexus 4 phone in hand, activate the SIM per the included instructions in conjunction with the IMEI number on the new phone. You DO NOT want to port your number to T-mobile during the activation, just get a new number. You can quickly forget about this new number. There are guides already on how to setup VOIP with Google Voice + Pbxes.org using SipDroid to do all the configuration for you, then you can delete the SipDroid app off your phone. You DO want to install CSipSimple on your phone and configure it to connect to Pbxes.org (which is already wired to use GTalk and Google Voice by now). CSipSimple will integrate with the android stock dialer, or you can use CSipSimple as your default dialer. One more thing, I got tired of Android asking me if I want to make a VOIP call using Pbxes or Cell (T-mobile minutes) that inside CSipSimple I made a rule that ALL calls be made by Pbxes. So, I just use my phone as normal and CSipSimple makes the call and answers my calls. It really really is wonderful when I look at my T-mobile minutes, but none have been used and I get great call quality.

A couple of questions, Straight talk and TMobile prepaid do not handle mms, correct? If that is so, can I get mms through google voice?
Your set up sounds too complicated for me and I only average about 40-60 mins of talk time per month so not worried about the 100 mins in the $30 TMob plan.
Thanks,
Ian B
P.S.---if someone in the Austin, Cedar Park area w a Nexus 4 with ST or TMob prepaid, send me a pm so you can call me and I can pick your brain on this stuff.

Do not call Verizon in fact you do not need to talk to Verizon at all
What will happen is straight talk will take your account number and billing pin and start the port for you with Verizon once the port is complete Verizon will close the line for the account
About 2 to 3 weeks later you will receive your final bill from Verizon that will include any ETF charges and any credit for the remaining of your billing cycle where there was no usage
So for example if your billing cycle is on the 29th and you ported on the 14th then you'll be charged for 14 days of service and then you'll be credited the other 14 or 15 days
Hope this helps

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
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
