I have a Sprint Note 5 that is carrier unlocked. I'm using it on straight talk. I cannot send/receive MMS. I've tried resetting access points and setting them to carrier specification. Nothing seems to work. Any ideas? My device is rooted as well.
Yep, Having the exact same issue & need assistance ...

I paid to get a T-mobile galaxy s5 sim unlocked so that I could use it on At&t. I'm located in the US. I took the sim out of another non-functioning at&t galaxy s5 and put it in the t-mobile one. The sim unlock code was successful, and ever since then my calls and texts have been working just fine. However, the mobile data connection is not working and I cannot seem to ascertain why this may be. I have tried scanning for networks and automatic network selection through the settings --> more networks --> Network operators menu. Mobile data is enabled. I have a data plan through at&t. Wi-fi still works. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping that rooting the phone may help the issue, but I am new to this concept. As I have gathered, only certain models of s5 can be rooted as of yet, and I did not find a thread on rooting the G900T model for the s5's. Thanks for any help!
I think you must set the APN from Setting. Ask the AT&T providet for the APN.
Just bought verizon galaxy S 5. Changed SIM to AT&T from straight talk. First of all was that a mistake? When ever i leave a wi-fi area the phone goes to emergency calls only. Email and text stops as well. Can't get voice mail to work anywhere
Would appreciate any help.
Thank you
Just a thought, go to settings /more networks and make sure you have the correct network checked
New to verizon galaxy s 5
The network was correct . Wondering if im in a bad area. My Iphone 4 works fine. Might be AT&T

Wait... you put an AT&T sim in your phone? This is a Verizon forum. If I misunderstood, please tell me.
Just to be clear because you didn't state it in your post, you must unlock your phone prior to using a non-Verizon SIM. You can sometimes get these unlock codes from Verizon but you can also buy them online. I've used GSMLiberty.net with success before. After that, you should be able to pop in your SIM from the new carrier and begin using it right away. In some cases, you may need to manually add the correct APN for your carrier. Find these settings under Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access point names. Click the little plus icon in the top right and manually enter AT&T's APN information. You may need to Google that as I don't know AT&T's APN info.
I use my Verizon S5 on T-Mobile's networks with absolutely no issues, I assume it would be a similar experience for AT&T as well. For me, I put my T-Mobile SIM card in and could make calls and receive texts, but mobile data and MMS was not working properly until I manually added the correct APN information. After that, MMS, 4G LTE data and everything is working flawlessly.
You do not need an unlock code for a LTE Verizon phone. These phones are already unlocked. One must set the correct APN.
Do not buy an unlock code!
I have used my Verizon S5 with att and t-mobile.
Good luck.

thank you all
Thank you for your posts. Most of the phone works. When I leave a wi-fi area my phone goes to emergency calls only. When I go back to a wi-fi area the normal call service works again. I'm new to verizon and samsung. Wanted to use straight talk because i didn't feel like paying a fortune for service. I'll get it figured out some way.
Thank you again
Hi Guys!
I recently purchased a used Galaxy note 3 Tmobile variant model N900T. The phone was sold as unlocked and the seller assured me it was fully functional and recently used on the T-mobile network.
Since I received the phone I have had severe network issues using my T-mobile simcard. The network issues are as follows.
Data network stuck on EDGE.
Voice Network disconnects usually after the first phone call, the phone call itself will not disconnect and is stable but once it is ended the modem seems to lock up or reset i'm not sure which one but it could be an hour or more before the voice network will come back. Sometimes a reboot of the phone helps but not always. When this happens I will receive a NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK ERROR or OUT OF SERVICE AREA.
NOTE: As I'm writing this it is 2am, in LA, California and I have just managed to make 5 calls in a row with no disconnection which is a first! I have noticed however that there is no data service, not even edge, could this be related in some way?
I have done the following.
Contacted T-mobile, they checked everything including IMEI, APN settings, and confirmed no blacklisting or network issues.
Checked that the IMEI number on the label and OS match.
Replaced sim
Tested the phone in different high signal LTE covered area's (Los Angeles)
Used my current sim in various phones, S3, Iphone4, S3 mini. All without voice or data issues, apart from the international S3 LTE which was stuck on EDGE also.
Re flashed various official stock T-mobile firmwares using ODIN. Such as N900TUVUDNF1, N900TUVUDNF4, N900TUVUDNF9, N900TUVUDNK3 and I also believe N900TUVUCNB4 with similar results.
Currently using N900TUVUDNF4
I have pretty much run out of idea's at this point, and decided to post here as a last resort. The seller is telling me that the phone has always worked fine for him and that he does not take refunds. Its all quite suspicious I am starting to believe that this phone has some kind of intermittent fault on the modem. I am hoping there is something that I might have overlooked on my end or some kind of test I can perform here to confirm a hardware fault.
Thanks for the support.

Sorry that its causing so much trouble. The NF9 is the latest 4.4.2 firmware. Weird that it was also not working on the international S3.
Can you check your Apn and see what it says?
For 4g/LTE it should be :
Name: Tmobile
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
MMSC: mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50
Server: wap.voicestream.com
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN type: default
Hey S4ers,
So I recently gave my friend my S4 (i337) restored to NB1. She does not have an active data plan, but I figured since I'm giving her the phone, it wouldn't matter too much.
She used to have an unlocked T-Mobile Phone working on AT&T, just running it on the EDGE network.
Anyway long story short, she cannot receive MMS anymore after using this phone. The phone has signal, but does not display E, 2G, 3G, 4G, or LTE. Just the signal bars. So I ordered an unlock code and received it, thinking that if I unlock the SIM that she could get this functionality. I tried the #0111*CODE# method in the dialer and receive an incorrect MMI message. Are there any other methods to unlocking the phone with the code that I have? No root would be ideal, because she has everything all set up on it, but I am open to any suggestions, really. I was wondering if I am going down the correct path in enabling MMS, by unlocking the phone like her old one used to be, or if AT&T needs to be contacted.
FYI, when we set up the phone, we called AT&T to register the new SIM, and provided the IMEI number, is it possible that they turned off any functionality because it was a smart phone without a data plan?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

What carrier SIM is being used in it? Also check your APN settings.
She is on AT&T and the APN is good. We had to get a new micro sim
I have the Verizon model of the S6 Edge+ (SM-G928V) I want to know if it's possible to flash it with the t-mobile rom??
I currently have a T-mobile MicroSIM that i put into the verizon phone. I had to configure it with the t-mobile APN to get calls/text to work. Currently I have a few issues:
1) I can make & receive calls, send & receive texts, but CANNOT send mms, but i can recieve mms sent to me. (I tried to see if enabling wifi would make a difference but it doesn't)
2) I get an annoying message anytime the phone reboots that says I'm not using a verizon wireless SIM. (if anyone knows how to get rid of that, great. if not it's not such big of a deal)
3) How to remove the Verizion boot loading screen??
Do I run the risk of bricking or tripping knox if i try to use a t-mobile rom on a verizion phone? Or does anyone know how to resolve any of the issues i'm having? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. (and No, just getting the t-mobile version of phone is not an option for me)

You cannot rom that phone because Verizon nazis lock all bootloaders on all their devices. As for the sending mms you'll probably need to take it to a t-mobile store and have them sim unlock and flash their full apn. That should do it but I can't say for sure since I've never used a Verizon phone on t-mobile
So just to update: The issue with not being able to send mms messages is because of the Message+ app that was set as default messaging app (factory reset setting). When I changed the messaging app to the "Messages" Samsung app I'm able to send&receive mms with no issues. (Please note the proper APN settings must be set)
The other issues such as the loading screen and the SIM notification I'm not too worked about, but if you have any help on those that should be great.
The only *real* issues with using t-mobile sum card with vzw phone is that the service isn't all that great, I seem to have 3g in some areas where I can't send mms while on the phone, but other than that it works well on an unlocked phone.

I believe the radios in verizon phones don't cover all the band's that t-mobile uses. However t-mobile phones tend to run pretty well on Verizon so your signal issues will continue until t-mobile launches band 12 in your area, which is the primary band that Verizon uses for Lte
Samsung lists band 12 on their site for the Verizon S6e+.
Swipe left or right to get rid of the SIM message. I've posted a similar thread here too.
