Since Sprint is also a CDMA network, would a Sprint S7 or S7 Edge work on Verizon? Thanks!
No. Verizon has certain device ID numbers (IMEI) that will work on their network.

I'm sure we are all aware of the recently announced LTE note for the Korean market, but my question is on whether or not the phone will work on Verizon's network like how the current model works on AT&T's HSPA+
edit: i just realized. Sprint is also CDMA. would this work on Sprint?
Will an AT&T Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 work on Verizon Network?
checked the bands on att/verizon and both use same 850/1900
More than likely not. Att uses GSM and most (if not all of) Verizon uses CDMA. 2 different network technologies.

Nope
not at all
Can you use a euro s7 edge in the us on sprint?
Doubtful. Sprint (and Verizon) use CDMA, and Europe has standardized on GSM for calling. I doubt the Exynos versions of the phone have CDMA radios.
While Sprint is limited on which unlocked and international phones work on its network, if you *are* able to activate it on Sprint, here's info about the limitations:

Hi,
I'm on AT&T and planning on buying an S7 Edge. I'm trying to look for a unit with a good price and don't care if it's a different variant but I'd like to know what I'd be missing by not getting the AT&T one (G935A):
1. If flashing the AT&T firmware on the T-Mobile variant (G935T) or any other (Verizon, Rogers, etc), will it work just like the AT&T one and will it activate all the LTE bands? or AT&T will still not recognize it as an AT&T one? any other AT&T feature that might be missing?
2.- Does the VoLTE and WIFI calling on AT&T works in any other S7 variant? I think I read is possible but root is needed.
Thanks!
I can verify that using the Verizon S7 and S7e works with AT&T firmware. All AT&T LTE bands including VoLTE and WiFi calling work. No root required.
I have tmobile S7e that I flashed the AT&T firmware on. It's running great and works great.
Can you use an unlocked T-Mobile S7 on Sprint? I'm not sure if it has all the bands (CDMA & LTE) to be compatible. Would you need to flash Sprint firmware or is it simply not doable.
not possible cause it doens't have CDMA internals. CDMA phones on the other hand can, cause they have both CDMA and GSM internals.

Figured but was hoping that wasn't true. Thank you.
all of the snapdragon s7's are the same internally.. you just need to flash g930u to it
Well, because it is unlocked, you CAN use it on Sprint, BUT you can only use it on LTE. Because it doesn't use CDMA, you won't have 3G and below. This is problematic in spots where you don't get LTE because you will instantly drop to no signal.
What about an AT&T S7 Edge? Would it work on Sprint? Model # SM-N935A?
All of the US S7 variants are exactly the same hardware-wise, meaning they all support CDMA.
You could flash the U firmware on it but you won't be able to activate it on Sprint becuase it is neither an original Sprint or an original U variant unit and hence isn't in their white list of allowed devices on their network.
