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!
has anyone here able to enable band 12 on Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5.
I am looking to buy a Samsung S4 active and use it on Tmobile.
thanks
anyone
? .
This is ur best bet. I have never done it, but people say it works and is possible for S5. may or may not be possible for ur variant. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059
I am interested in trying Tmobile for service but have a phone issue. I currently have Verizon service with a S5. Tmobile has advised me that my S5 would not work great on their network. They suggested that I buy an S8 to give their network the proper test. But if I do not like the service coverage, I understand their S8 would not work properly on the Verizon network if I were to switch back. So, I would like to know if I purchased an S8 from Verizon would it work well on the Tmobile network. Also, if I purchased an unlocked S8 from Samsung would it work well on both Tmobile and Verizon.
Please give me your advise.

Some "unlocked " phones are gsm only and Verizon is cdma(I think the s8 and plus have all bands though not 100%sure). Make sure it's compatible 1st. I setup Verizon s5s and s6s for people on T-Mobile before besides the sim card isn't from Verizon message when you 1st boot up they worked fine for them. Make sure apns are correct and don't use Verizon message app you'll be ok to try network.

If you truly want the S8 no matter which service you end up with, get the unlocked us version (like at Best buy) it should be both GSM and CDMA.

An unlocked version from Samsung.com should serve you better on both of your carriers. I have an unlocked S8, purchased from Samsung and I use it with T-Mobile.
Read the first portion and then scroll to the bottom for fine print and you will find your answer.

Thanks for the response
This is available for purchase directly from Samsung or Sprint, can it be used on verizon?
Anyone have a list of bands SM-G892UZAASPR supports? I assume this one supports CDMA bands.
Thanks,

Hey everyone I am new to this can I have the opportunity to get a Samsung Galaxy S8 active from Sprint that will be unlocked will this work with Verizon Networks. I am using an unlocked globally Samsung Galaxy S5 with the old unlimited plan with foxfi for my internet for everything else which I know I will not be able to use with the S8 S8 Plus or S8 active... But will a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8 active work on Verizon as long as it is Sim unlocked?
I'm using a unlocked t-mobile Samsung galaxy s8 plus device with Att's $65 dollar pre-paid plans and my data speeds are really slow compared to what I was getting with T-Mobile service. Would you please list all the access point name settings are you could DM me or greatly appreciate it thank you in advance take care
Do you have the ATT phone?
You will need to get someone's actually S8 ATT branded phones imei, or you wont get full 4g, just 3.5g
