Using on At&t?

I'd like to buy this and use on AT&T.
What hoops do I have to jump through to make this happen?
The frequencies are supported (don't care about LTE).
For example if I buy unsubsidized on Amazon, do I have to call Verizon up and get a code from them that will let me use it on AT&T and other GSM carriers?

It's locked for US GSM bands, as far as I know. P3Droid has said that they're working on getting it unlocked. I'm sure we'll hear about it when it happens.

I bought my RAZR M at Amazon (Verizon, without contract) and i use it in Germany with O2 Provider.
No Problem, nothing needed. It´s not locked.

Correctamundo (sp). In further searching it looks like they block the MNC for at&t and t-mobile inside the radio firmware NV settings. Also there is a pesky "unknown sim" or something that pops up every bootup.

Working in India/Asia ?
Hi,
I'm planning to buy one in my visit to US next week. I intend to use it with GSM India.
Has anyone used the phone with GSM provider in India or other asian countries? I was told that GSM capabilities works only in european countries , so wanted to make sure of it before I buy it.
Thanks

Just check and make sure the bands that your network uses are supported. It supports all the standard GSM bands, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

SM-N910K stuck on 3G in Brazil

Ok, so i ordered a SM-N910U from 28mobile.com, and they sent me a carrier branded SM-n910K, which by its specifications should work with Brazilian LTE (band 7 - 2600). However I am stuck on 3g. I was wondering if maybe the whole internet is wrong and this device doesnt support this band, or maybe its some sort of carrier lock. Also, how do i disable the awful branding, will flash a different firmware work and which do i flash?
Thanks

1) check frequencies that U model supports @ samsung website (its asian/hong kong, right? those miss some frequencieos)
2) check which frequencies are used for 4g by your brazilian telco.
3) compare.
if frequencies match, you might want to try:
1) getting a new sim that is surely 4g-capable
2) getting an iphone nano-sim. this is crazy, but for many users in russian forums that has solved 4g connectivity issues with one telco.
3) making sure your plan supports 4g
4) ensure you have 4g coverage.

Is the SM-N910U the same as the SM-N910K as far as LTE bands go? I dont get it, they are both supposed to support Band 7 - 2600MHZ, which is the one we have over here. What about flashing a different firmware? I've been trying with odin, to no success.

They do support that frequency so it's probably something to do with your sim card or carrier?
And 28mobile told me I was receiving one model only to get the k model like you. Wasn't happy. The updates for firmwares are slow

Well, I am on a LTE plan, tried 3 different sims already, they are all stuck on 3G...And all our carriers have the same band, which is 7...So it's not the sim or the carrier...its the phone. I bet that there's some sort of lock going on, since all roaming options are grayed out (the phone is not stuck on roaming, however). I am trying to flash any other model's firmware, like U, C and even S, but odin always fails when trying.

When you ordered the "U"-model, and got a branded "K"-model, I would complain to the shop you bought it and demand a swap to the model you ordered!

Hi Guys,
I have read lot of comments & QA's, still i have no clarity.Some one please clarify me.

Indian lte bands.
TD LTE 2300Mhz
FD LTE 1800Mhz
Please help

This appears to show that if you flash the U firmware, you should be fine (if the information from this website is correct).
https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...5u-galaxy-s7-edge-td-lte-samsung-hero-2/india
It shows that the 935U is capable of Band 3 (FDD 1800) and Band 40 (TDD 2300) for LTE.

Sorry I am interested in this as well. May I know if you read somewhere that can confirm the unlock of bands by flashing U firmware? I am not sure if the U firmware contains the baseband that would unlock the LTE bands.

Here's an article on XDA. It applies to the G930 but it is the same for the G935.

From what others say, the U firmware runs better since it doesn't have all of the Verizon bloatware. I guess it's up to you whether you want to or not, but I would recommend flashing the U firmware since you don't really lose anything except HD calling and visual voicemail. You'll be able to use your hotspot for free since it won't check to see if you're subscribed, and you will get updates from Samsung rather than from Verizon.

I have the S7 Edge Unlock on Verizon. I can confirm the hotspot works. However it sucks not having Wi-FI calling or Visual Voicemail. I wish there was a way to get both.

There is if you root your phone and flash on a different rom that's based on U's firmware but adds Verizon's extra tweaks and still no bloatware. But then you run into the problem of having horrible performance on your phone, some people don't mind, others flash back to stock. Pick your poison I guess.

I got a galaxy S7 edge SM-G935FD what do I need to do to make it work on verizon?

Verizon is a CDMA network and S7 Edge for Verizon was built only for CDMA networks (https://www.unlockunit.com/blog/cdma-networks/)
You can check your phone's frequencies, but I suggest that before placing any unlocking order, check with your local carriers if they support that phone.
Make sure you have all this info beforehand so you won't have to pay for a useless unlocking.

Carrier compatibility.

Hello! My question I've nexus 6p 32gb Unlocked purchased from New Jersey.. But I'll be using it in India. So will it be compatible with all the carriers present here?
Thanks!

Thanks for replying. ..Does the unlocked version contain both the American and Global bands? Coz I see there are few bands missing in American version which are there in global and vice versa.
Thanks!

No it does not, the American version is missing the global bands

Okk..thanks...Got my Jio sim...Signal looks solid...for the first few minutes... but then it started fluctuating very much .. maybe changing bands every now and then coz jio operates on 3 bands 3,5and40. But as 40 is not present in American model, it switches between band 3(1800) and 5(850)very frequently...I got to know this from an app... So should I lock the band on 3/5 any of them(from network signal guru app) ? Will it stop fluctuating then?
Thanks!

What's the name of the app you use?

Thanks... There are few issues I'm facing.... Got two more Sims voda and bsnl ... Voda gives no signal as soon as I insert it and bsnl is working well but most of the times I cannot place/get calls.... And according to that link these two are fully compatible with American model..:crying:
I've noticed in bsnl that as soon as I toggle the mobile data ON, then I can get/make calls but as soon as I put if Off, again problem starts.

Lenovo Z6 Pro Unlock all bands

Does anyone know if it is possible to unlock all the LTE bands on this phone? With the current enabled bands it wouldn't really work in the USA which I live, but wanted to see if it was possible.
Thank you in advance!

Bands are hardware. Best thing to do is to move out of the US.

Thank you for that sarcasm
As the link below states it has been done, but it is from 2014 so I just want to know if the hardware for this specific phone supports it but the software doesn't
