I'm getting a Verizon phone soon used. I understand I can get everything working on my att sim card but it would be HSPA+? Just change the settings in network mode GSM/umts is this correct?

I've always been with Telus (AT&T bands) but I m looking to get a smart phone for someone on Mobilicity (T-mobile bands) as far I know as long as the phone is unlocked calls and messaging will work fine its just the 3G/4G that will be disabled due to a lack of correct frequencies.
The person I m getting this for doesn't use data or plan to so I was just going to get them a NAM phone but I popped their sim card into my phone (which is unlocked) and I get no signal even after putting in the correct APN settings. Is there something I m missing?
Thanks
Got this error message when using a TMo SIM in a Verizon G2. I've only seen one thread about this for the G2.
Verizon G2s are SIM unlocked, right? So it shouldn't be a problem? I can put the TMo SIM in a TMo branded S2 and get full bars. I even tried the same SIM in a Verizon Galaxy S3 and got full bars.
I'm on VS98012B
As a follow up, I went into available networks and this time, TMobile at AT&T show up. I tried setting it to WCDMA and GSM but it wont register on the TMobile network.
This is a location that I can normally get LTE.
The VERIZON model is GSM unlocked. Says your on 12B so you should be good. You should be able to just pop and go. I don't have much experience with it but you would have to select GSM in the Network Settings.
I have read all the guides for unlocking the SIM for GSM networks. But What I'm trying to do is use my Sprint LG G2 LS980 on my Verizon Account.
I have gotten the unlock SML from Sprint for the device and I know both networks are CDMA, so I should be able to put in a Verizon Sim, enter unlock code, the BOOM! Have my Verizon plan.
But when I insert the Verizon SIM card into the phone it says "No SIM card - Emergency calls only"
Why wont it even detect that there is a SIM card in the device.

It won't work anyway...the voice network is CDMA, meaning that the serial number needs to be whitelisted by Verizon for the device to work. Unlocking only works for GSM devices; you might be able to use it on AT&T or T-Mobile (3G mode) since the UMTS network should work there.

Call the new network now so you can port it from the old network
I have a galaxy s5 G900A that I had unlocked and I put a tmobile sim card in it. Anytime I am outside of tmobile service my phone will show that I have bars but I can't use voice text or data. I try to connect to at&t or Verizon's network to roam and it won't connect. Is there something I missed when unlocking that will allow my sim to roam on another network? Or is this something tmobile is doing wrong on thier end? My girlfriends galaxy s4 has the same problem.
Hi all,
I've been having a Sprint Galaxy Note 4 that is unlocked. I bought it unlocked already. My mobile service provider is T-Mobile. I have an unlimited plan with them. The issue is that the Note cannot connect to LTE network. The only option available for me to access the internet on the go is the GSM/UMTS option under the network mode settings. Using this option my phone can only connect to a 3g service that is painfully slow. If I try selecting the CDMA or LTE/CDMA option under the network mode settings the Note will not get any service at all as if there was no sim card inside of the phone. Therefore I can only use the GSM/UMTS option. Is there a fix for this or am I stuck with 3g service on this phone? Please ask me questions if you have any that will help me get to a fix. Thanks :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I believe the LTE bands in sprint CDMA/VERIZON CDMA are different. they are not compatible with T-mobile because T-mobile required completely different LTE bands and they are locked in sprint phones and they cannot be unlocked.
If you have N910V/N910P You will only get HSPA/HSPA+ 3G/3.5G with T-MOBILE/AT&T network.
My best suggestions will be you can swap your sprint with T-mobile note 4 because N910T has more LTE bands unlocked then any other note 4 models actually more bands then international models too.
