I use Cricket and would like to get an S7 edge and be able to use Samsung pay. But i'd like to still retain having the frequency bands to allow me to switch to another service if i end up disliking cricket later on.
But there's a few questions i cant seem to nail down answers for through searching...
It seems like the G935F is a great choice (exynos and no bloat) but Sammy pay is still somewhat questionable on working? It seems like people are getting it to work, but would i be able to purchase an EU model from amazon and it would just work?
Are the G935A and G935T models the same phone but locket to each carrier, or do they legitimately lack the bands the others support?

The AT&T G935A, T-Mobile G935T and Verizon phones can be unlocked to work with any sim card,
however they can never be rooted. The Samsung pay feature will work fine in any of these 3 phones.
The international S7 Edge G935F comes unlocked and is very easy to root but Samsung pay is not
compatible with it even if it's not rooted.
The only Samsung phones which are fully compatible with Samsung Pay are those which come with
the Samsung Pay app in the phone's app drawer and are not rooted.
Good luck,
Have a great day,
I have the S7 Edge SM-935P a model I don't seem to see much of wherever I look. Anything different about my model? Can I root it? What can I do with this odd number?

bootloader is locked on all domestic s7 edge
you can flash stock roms across most of the s7 edge models
the cleanest is the g935u
you may find need to load a different carrier for specific reasons
there is a root but its problematic
double check the FED for financial reasons. sprint locks prepaid phones and unlocked phones for reasons
and other stuff
it's a Samsung from Sprint. Why is this weird?
I think I know the answer but want someone to confirm that a T-Mobile S7 Edge even unlocked/rooted will not work on Verizon because VZW is CDMA whereas T-Mobile and AT&T are GSM. Could I even FlashFire a Verizon Mod and it will work? I'm thinking no way, someone please confirm. I bought a used S7 Edge T-Mobile phone with a clean IMEI.
Thanks in advance!
I just bought a used S7 Edge for Sprint and was wondering if there were any free ways to unlock it.

My wife purchased the S7 active unlocked for AT&T and even though it was unlocked it still wouldn't work on Sprint. Sprint devices use different radios that will not work on other carriers except maybe Boost?

Sprint phone use certain frequencies in there radios but it will still work on certain carriers just not verizon 700mhz and ATT but will work on tmobile and a few others.
Might try flashing 935u software.

Recently bought an S7 Edge, G935F. Lots of stuff on here about rooting/flashing custom ROMs, and I successfully did but am now under the impression it won't work on the Verizon network due to different basebands, something or other. Someone in another thread mentioned that it *will* work with a nano SIM card but Verizon's online checker thing says it won't work on their network for whatever reason.
Can anyone confirm it would? Or .. wouldn't? Again, G935F.
Also, are there any other S7 Edge (or newer Galaxy models) otherwise that have an unlockable bootloader that WILL work on Verizon?
Kudos in advance!
The "V" variant is Verizon Wireless one. These ones are GSM. I think LTE is interoperable, but lower standards are different.

Yes, but don't quote me on it. I think you can't just pop a sim card in and have service, you would need to call VW and have it attached to your account. And if the system doesn't like your ESN, you're SOL.[emoji2373]

No, if you want to have custom ROM, switch to GSM provider (T-mobile, AT&T wireless...)

Verizon wireless is a CDMA carrier. CDMA carriers require CDMA specific devices and the only Galaxy devices made CDMA are for the American market (all bootloader locked). If I were you I'd switch to T-Mobile or At&t (both GSM carriers i.e. fully compatible with international unlockable variants).

Yeah, I've gathered that there's really only a handful of Verizon variants with unlockable bootloaders. Currently looking for a new Verizon variant I can flash a custom ROM on. Google Pixel models look decent, but I'm going to look around a bit more.
