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:

As far as I know, Verizon is using the N900V on their network which requires CDMA band.
I bought a SM-N900W8 from Telus Canada and after having it unlocked, I was unable to have it registered under my Verizon account.
So, not wanting to pay the outragious roaming price that we have from our greedy Canadian Carriers, I purchased an AT&T Pay as you GO sim card.
TaDa!!!!
This is due to the use by Verizon of CDMA band which isn't supported by most Canadian Cellphone that requires at least WCDMA OR LTE/GSM Band.
So, if you're planning to travel the USA and are looking to get an American SIM Card, most likely, verizon will not be an option for you (they're expensive anyway)
AT & T and T - mobile supports the GSM as far as I know.

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.
Does anybody know if the Hong Kong s7 edge will work on sprint? It is cdma and lte and I'm aware that the cdma bands aren't all there sprint uses 800mhz and 1900mhz but the hong kong s7 is only 800mhz compatible but I could live with it in exchange for root. The lte matches and the hk version has more bands too. If not than my only choice is to jump ship to another carrier. Any insight is much appreciated.
No, sprint doesn't allow you to bring unlocked devices unless is a nexus or an iPhone. And you need band 26 for lte
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.
I am on ATT network. I know TMobile phones work on ATT network. But what about Verizon,Sprint and US Cellular models? Do they work on ATT if they are sim unlocked?
it depends on phone to phone and what bands each model comes with. usually verizon/sprint models are different from AT&T and all the classic GSM carriers but nowadays some carrier has some special band while the other has control of some other band etc so you gotta do a little research when you check out a particular model to see if it'll work for your needs
