Hey,
I am going to be moving in about a week and my new area has no T-mobile coverage! My phone is completely unlocked but apparently it will not work with ATT, Verizon or Sprint!
Can anyone recommend something? I really hate to buy a new phone right now!
Thanks,
Rich
First get it sim unlocked by tmobile or via ebay and Flash U firmware from here
It should work on all carriers... (some features may need some work depending on carrier... Like VoLTE / MMS etc)
Yeah it's already unlocked. Thanks
Unlocked this phone will run on Att or Sprint.

Flash the firmware for the carrier you want to go to, or use the U fw
I ended up going to Cricket wireless.. I just have to get used to having my download speed throttled to 9 mb.

T-MOBILE S7 Edge works on Verizon, ATT with unlocked Sim card! I also have LTE on All 3 Networks.
First question is how did you get your phone unlocked? I thought tmobile made you wait 45 days before they would unlock the phone

A lot of times if the phone is paid off, it'll unlock as long as it meets 1 requirement.
Sweet Verizon is super fast and coverage is virtually anywhere.

Does it have CDMA support?
I am able to make calls. I'm not sure because I use dialpad for all of my calls.

I said that I was going over seas for a trip. Then the device unlock app was activated.

Verizon uses a lte sim card for data only. There will not be(shouldnt be anyway) any call support because the 935t does not have cdma, unless verizon is using different bands on newer devices like tmobile(band 12 - 700a)

Hey everyone,
I have an ATT S7 Edge and was looking to switch to Tmobile. My S7E is unlocked with a Prepaid Tmobile sim in it now and all is working well (even VoLTE which I was shocked about). I'd like to have Tmobile software for wifi calling if it is at all possible. It seems as if VoLTE compatible so I figured the hardware was the same, just different software/basebands. I know Samsung is a nightmare with their carrier versions/locked bootloaders so I assume the chances of this being possible is unlikely, but I figured I should at least ask.
You won't be able to flash TMo firmware on your AT&T phone. Sorry.

Well.. he could at least try to flash the T-Mobile US firmware... worse it could do is fail to install, right?

I think worst case scenario is he bricks his phone.
Trade it on CL for a tmobile one.

A Verizon s7e is not the same and will not work properly on tmobile service.

DO NOT do that.If you do so then you can flash your framework back to ATT. I flashed my g935p with g935t framework afterward I can't go back to Sprint framework.
I'm trying to convert my T-Mobile to AT&T because volte isn't working right now. Did you have any luck going from ATT to Tmo?
convert tmo to at&t

Were you able to figure this out? I read SOMEWHERE that it's definitely doable but now I can't find the post with instructions.
So I recently purchased s7 edge g935fd from Taiwan. The phone was working fine there in Taiwan. When I came back to the States, however, the phone seems to have trouble connecting TMobile's LTE mobile data. The LTE goes on and off , no matter where I am. The phone still says that it is connected to LTE even when the data is not loading. I tried to reset the APN setting but no avail. I also tried that sim card on my old ASUS Zenphone 2 and the LTE worked fine so it is probably not the sim card's fault. The weird thing is that I can still call, text, and even use 3g network, it's only LTE that is not working properly. Anyone got a solution to this?
Have you gone to settings>mobile networks and checked if it's set to auto connect?
I took off unlimited data from my account because **** sucks here In Aurora Colorado. Isn't worth an extra 20 a month when I got WiFi at home and at work. Plus 2gb free is cool with me. Still got bingeon

I used to have a note from Verizon Unlocked, but seems they've done that on and off signal quite a lot. Since their phones from T-Mobile have everything pre-installed, you can't even delete or edit their APN.
That's why I got a phone with then GS7E works like a charm.

Oh well. Like I said even with that sht I can NEVER load a video on Netflix on my lte, I would miss flights before this crap loads. I like t-mobile because it's the only one that's "good" in my area if t-mobile is "good" I don't want to know what's bad. That's cool it works for you. But I rather pay $55 a month for text talk and 2gb of free data

I have a 935FD on TMO and never have had a problem. I actually have a 935T also, just made sure the APN's matched. The FD however, has never shown an LTE icon although it shows connected to LTE in settings. This could be to being rooted and running a custom rom. But to your main question, again, I've had no issues.

So you bought and international version? I think I may have to do the same for the Note 7 but not sure how compatible the international versions are with T-Mobile

Yes, I bought an International version after realizing it would probably be some time before the 935T got root. From what I understand, and don't quote me on this, but the international version of just about anything is compatible with TMO or any other GSM network. The Note 7 should be just as compatible as my 935FD is with TMO.

Do you get wifi calling with the international version? It also seems Samsung won't honor the warranty and SquareTrade won't as well since Samsung isn't.

No, and that is the only reason I've kept my TMO version is for the wifi calling. If the buildings where I work weren't blast proof we would have cell signal inside them. Since we don't, the wifi calling is our only Option, besides landlines of course. For all these reasons we're talking about is why I'm looking at getting an HTC 10. I'm getting tired of all the Samsung lock down on stuff.

Lol that's the exact problem I have at work there is absolutely no service in certain parts. It's pretty sad for T-Mobile. We're basically forced to get there version.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Does anyone know if it's possible to get the dual SIM working on the T-Mobile version? Im fully unlocked I just don't want to go through that whole process
I only need the second SIM for data only on Visible if it matters (it's a long story as to why lol)
Thanks
No, it's the only way. Converting to the international version is easier than you think, and it's really worth it, believe me.

I can agree. Soon as I could I converted mine to international back in November/December 2018. Best decision ever for this phone

Bought a used Tmobile 6T at a phone shop in Vegas, converted it the next day, unlocked, rooted, debloated, and put google on a leash. Worth doing!
I use AT&T for my carrier.
I'm trying to understand if I can use a brand new OP6T T-mobile version - https://www.oneplus.com/oneplus-6t-tmo?from=6t - on ATT. I had presumed if I follow the guides here to SIM unlock and flash the international version, that would allow me to use ATT (without ever using, talking to, or becoming a customer of Tmobile). Is that the case?
If not, can it be done at all (dual sim tray? 2nd imei?)?
Thanks.

If it is Sim unlocked, it should work fine, but why buy a T-Mo phone if you won't be using it there? Instead buy the global version.
I routinely see posts here from folks using the T-Mo version on other carriers and having issues, or troubles from flashing the international OS version.
Also if there is an issue with the unlock and you aren't a TMo customer who knows what the resolution path would be.

T-Mobile OP6T phone is currently on sale on the one plus website for ~$350. I don't believe new global versions are that cheap though I haven't looked yet (was about to). Thanks for your reply.
Trust me. Spend a bit more for the global phone. There are all these issues with converted phone's not passing safety net, Netflix not showing, Google Pay not working depending on what OS version you are on... It isn't worth the savings you might get.

Thanks! I saw commentary on those types of issues and was trying to understand that very concern.

TMobile versions don't have a 2nd IMEI, they only have one. The second sim slot has the same IMEI as the first one.
