For some reason, I thought the salesman said both Verizon & ATT GN3's were gsm. Is that true or is VZ cdma? I thought I read somewhere they were switching over at some time. I was thinking gsm was preferable, but is it?
Thanks in advance.
The N3 is world phone so yes its gsm too
Sim unlocked ? I don't know the note 2 was unlocked but you can't add APN settings

Thanks very much. So I could use it at some future time on Straight Talk network? What about ATT after contract met? But would an ATT phone transfer to VZ if it's a world phone?

The ATT phones don't have the CDMA hardware to work on Verizon.

All verizon phones have CDMA radios in them. The 3G service from verizon is CDMA. International phones utilize a GSM 3G radio as well, as Europe uses GSM exclusively. The 4G radio, however, is GSM. Therefore, all 4G verizon phones are also GSM. Until 3G gets phased out, All Verizon 4G phones will have both GSM and CDMA radios.
I have straight talk... curious major differences between AT&T vs T-Mobile
also if I went with T-Mobile on straight talk how would I use it on AT&T and would 4G LTE ect or how would it go?
I know I would need to have both AT&T and T-Mobile APN's to switch around on?
Simply put if I got a T-Mobile I can still run all bands on AT&T straight talk but benifit switching APN from AT&T to T-Mobile as well?
Thanks

Since this was never answered, let me try to help you. A T-Mobile S5 runs just fine on AT&T as long as it's SIM Unlocked. I use a 900T on AT&T (for customization purposes) with no issues. All you need to do is add in an APN for AT&T, which can be found with a Google search. With Straight Talk, I'd imagine you'd need to use their AT&T compatible APN. Since you're discussing service through them, I doubt your Straight Talk SIM would register with T-Mobile or AT&T APN's. However, I could be wrong. I've never used an MVNO and I'm not quite sure how a sub-network SIM card would act on a parent network.
Hey I was wondering if I unlocked my LG G2 from T-Mobile would I be able to use it on AT&T's network? I would like to still get 4G LTE but I'm not sure thats possible. I asked a AT&T representative and they said that I would get AT&T's 4G LTE after registering my IMEI and with the correct APN settings. Can anyone confirm this? Thank you very much for any responses.
I used an AT&T SIM and the Go Phone $60 plan on my unlocked D801 for trip to Alaska in May and got LTE in many places. Use "phone" as the APN.

Oh okay thanks. For some reason I heard that a lot of people didn't get good data speeds or something like that. Maybe those people didn't fix the APN or the IMEI
Bump?
Hello everyone,
For those who have converted their unlocked HTC 10 to Verizon, I need someone to test a Verizon MVNO Such as Straight talk, Total Wireless, Red Pocket, Page Plus, etc. Need to know if any Verizon MVNO works on unlocked model before I buy this phone. Dying to buy this phone, but this is holding me back.

Think he is asking for someone who has flashed the vzw ruu to try it.

This is obvious, not looking for GSM Based MVNO feedback,
Let me re-phrase the question:
VERIZON CDMA MVNO'S ONLY and someone that can actually confirm that a verzion mvno is working in their converted unlocked HTC 10
I have my S-off unlocked, unlocked 10 with the Verizon radio flashed to it on Verizon prepaid which if you can use it on Verizon prepaid then you can use it on any Verizon mvno. But as they listed for post paid you need to activate your sim in another phone then put that sim in your unlocked 10. Mine was previously used by my unlocked Motorola nexus 6 and with my unlocked 10 on my Verizon prepaid account when I log in to my Verizon it still shows my device as a non Verizon nexus 6, but my unlocked HTC 10 works just fine. Just realize volte will not work because prepaid Verizon mvnos do not get to use volte as of yet. Also I had to turn my WiFi calling off as it would not work. I am running viper10 1.2.1 and it works great. They just got android pay working too.

Error on HTC's part. There are 4 "variants" of Straight Talk, each runs on one of the big carriers. Straight Talk AT&T and Straight Talk T-Mobile can use the unlocked version out of the box. Straight Talk Verizon will have to do the same thing Verizon-proper customers have to do to use the unlocked model (flash VZW modem, use an already-activated SIM, etc). Straight Talk Sprint won't be able to use the unlocked model due to it lacking the Sprint LTE bands and most likely not being on Sprint's device whitelist.

I I forgot about each carrirer has their own variant, like at&t, Verizon straight talk etc.. wonder how many other people bought with that slipping their mind
I've looked through all of the threads trying to find AT&T settings for the universal model but only come up with a few T-Mobile threads. Having a tough time forcing LTE on AT&T. (prepaid vs. Postpaid if that helps) AT&T store reps were Clueless and I've tried every APN setting known to man it seems. Anyone have their service working well using this model on AT&T and do you recall what you had to do to get it working normally? Thanks in advance.
