Not possible. Sprint is a CDMA network. ATT is a GSM network.
That's what i thought. All good. Thank you.

If you have been an AT&T customer for a while (I believe 90 days is enough) call them and ask.

It worked for me.
Will the note run on the sprint network if i buy one unlocked? It shows it runs on their frequency but i have never bought a phone unlocked and tried to get it on a network that does not carry that phone in their line up. Will it work with sprint network? I want it bad but want to make sure before i get one. Im in love with that bad boy. Anyone with better tech knowledge than me please let me know

Runs on their frequency but not on CDMA the unlocked phone is GSM only (att; tmob) so yeah, can't use it at all. Quite the shame, I would love to get me a Note.

Found that out the hard way a long time ago
Tmobile has changed a lot, they are just flat turning into thieves with a business license now. Never switch to a carrier just for the devices they can run, that is just plain not smart, at all.
I am not trying to be offensive, I do have your best interest in mind. With how fast devices are pushed out, there will be one that is better and what you want in 6 months time. So it doesn't make sense to move to a carrier for the phones. You will just get yourself locked into some contract that (Tmobile especially) keeps updating to strip more freedom and cost to to you.

Double check on the actual bands it supports; 3G especially considering the fact that tmob uses their own 3G unlike most other GSM carriers.
Aka it should work fine... BUT it might be stuck on EDGE at all times. Not cool.
Hello everybody I am from Romania, Europe I want to buy from ebay an htc rezound. I have htc desire hd.
I have one big question , I don't know if this is the right place to ask but I will.
If my rezound is locked on verzion I can make it SIM FREE ( UNLOCK it or something like it I want to use another sim not a verzion one)
Is this possible anyone can help me regarding this problem?
No, The Simcard in the Rezound is only so it can access Verizons LTE 700Mhz Channel.. It does not have a regular GSM radio.
So no you can not use it over seas or on any other network
To bad thx for your quick reply
Any Lte device in America will be incompatible. Maybe an at&t phone will work but you could only get 3g or hspa+.
Lte world phones won't be out for quite a while.

You're welcome. Hope it works out for you.
Hi guys I know this questioned has been asked before, but I can't seem to get all the answers I need. I plan on picking up a used S3 off of craigslist, and I need to know the requirements to get on Tmobiles $30 a month plan. I hear that you need a specific version of the S3 to get on Tmobile, I was told a sprint version would work? Also I read that you should be careful because the phone could have a bad ESN or something. As for the tmobile sim card, should I get it one of tmobiles prepaid phones or tmobiles site, i'm guessing the latter. (Micro sim right?)
You can also add me on skype. zSorun
Thanks guys
EDIT :Forgot to ask how you unlock the phone for tmobile
You would need the tmobile version of the s3. Or the international version. But im sure you couod get them unlocked either way.
But you need to find out if you can get it unlocked first or you may find you cant use the phone.

Ask in the sprint forum may give a different answer .

The US variants all work on different frequencies what you need to do is check what signal frequencies T-Mobile use, then check what the phone supports, the US variants are rarely compatible with the other networks though.

I am still deciding whether I should buy ATT version or T-mobile version but I can not tell how these are different.
Can you guys enlighten me? Can I unlock T-mobile version and use it on ATT 4G as well as LTE? Flashing ROMs based on stocks from both carriers work ok on both of these phones? I have not had HTC since HD2. Thank in advance.

The TMO version will get full speed on both ATT and TMO. The ATT version will not get TMO specific AWS (high speed 4G). However the ATT is available with 64 gb of storage.
I would get the TMO version and unlock it - TMO will do it if you pay full price up front.
