2 questions...
1st, I live in a non 4G area. Is it possible to get on a different carrier's 4G? Or just switch to 3g when roaming?
2nd, a friend has a straight talk phone. Is that possible to switch to my sprint plan? I have a phone on standby and I'm trying to use it up.
Thanks XDA

I don't think you can roam on another carrier's network since they use different LTE spectrum bands like 800,1900,700 etc. Sprint uses 1900 MHz LTE

To answer the second question, no, Sprint will only activate phones in their database which are Sprint branded phones.

That's something you should ask T-Mobile about. They have a website and everything

Um, what unbranded phone works with tmo-us 3g bands? You have to be able to receive the correct frequencies in order to get 3g, and tmo-us uses non-worldly 3g bands, unlike att.
So, while dumb, it's the reality of the situation.

Nokia n9 is coming with a pentaband radio, so it will work on Tmobile 3g.

I have the sprint S 3 but there's no 4gLTE in my area, would I be able to get the international version and use that on the sprint network? Cause lte is the reason you can't use the quad core right?

Any info bout the lte?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The international version doesn't have CDMA radios.
Lte will be rolling through the country later on. Get the quad if you don't want to wait til that happens

No no no, it won't work. Sprint uses CDMA radios, the international has GSM radios. You misunderstood.
Sprint is cdma but LTE is GSM technology. Just to complicate things.....

But the international has no LTE. So it will absolutely not work on Sprint.

I so agree with you!!! I want to go to ATT or TMobile because they're GSM Networks but Sprint is giving me a crazy deal that I could never drop.

In much of the US CDMA coverage is superior to GSM coverage. I almost never do not have at least CDMA for voice. When I was with ATT on a GSM phone that was definitely not the case.
Well maybe TMobile is better. I find with Sprint. I only get service in about 60% of the places I go

4G is not possible in the S3 unless you buy the LTE version.
Make sure you have a plan for 3G and in settings, the network mode is auto.
Also a place where you can get 3G connections.

I am planning on getting GoSmart Mobile but I want to know if I can manually provision my phone to access they're internet. I am currently using MetroPCS for example, but you can provison the phone to take advantage of Picture Mail and 3G which runs off of CDMA so can you do the same type of thing with GSM with companies like T-Mobile or GoSmart?
Lol no.

Even cheaper than ting & still running on Sprint network with Lte is Straight talk. I've had success with them.

You could flash it to Page Plus Cellular. It's a prepaid service provider that runs off of Verizon towers with good service and ridiculously reasonable plan prices that can be changed monthly depending on your needs. That's what my husband and I have ours on.
