I have a Verizon SG4 with AT&T SIM working, voice and data. Data is only H+.
How can I get 4G or LTE?
Thank you!
How did you get ATT working? Just pop in the Sim card and enter the APNs? And LTE won't work, Verizon GS3 has Non Att LTE bands.

Yup, just popped in the SIM, went to AT&T store, copied in the APN from a working sg4, and voice and HSPA+ data works.
I have a SG4 not sg3. Doesnt teh SG4 have the same frequency bands?
Here is a tip buy an att phone if you're gonna use att
Lte bands for Verizon and att are different your lte won't ever work on att with a Verizon phone

Gs4. My bad. Lol. I blanked out for a minute. Lmao. But yes, LTE will never work with an ATT Sim card in a Verizon phone

I'm thinking about using my Verizon S4 with Airvoice, an ATT mnvo. I don't care about LTE but can you post what the APN settings you entered are ?

I'm on beans build 6 on a vzw version gn2 and when I pop an att or tmo sim I don't seem to get 3g, only an "H+" symbol. Phone calls work fine. The gn2 seems to known which sim is in and picks up the correct carrier and the apn info that bean included in this build does show up. Whether they are right may be a different story but I'd assume it is. I've also tried this on cleanrom se vzw 1.0 with the apn hack from the other thread and it didn't work then either with a tmo sim, same H+ symbol. Am I missing something? Does this work for others? I'm in the bay area so I know I should have good connectivity on those carriers., not sure if this phone just doesn't have the right radios for 3g on att or tmo?

Having an issue just getting off Edge. Wondering if I root beans build ill get h+. I have my apns set up I just dont get why im in edge. I have the vzw GN2 tmobile 4g sim rooted with route66. Any ideas
Will verizon s4 work on at&t. Will i be able to get 4g? Thanks
4G as in H+? Then yes.
No, they have different radios. GSM (AT&T) vs CDMA (Verizon)
JaeKay, the Verizon S4 had both radios. I have personally used an AT&T SIM and made calls and gotten H+. So to the OP, YES YOU CAN. You just need to add the APN info after you put in the new SIM card.

Need to root for APN change/add ? or possible to add new APN without rooting?
I was rooted but it should not be a requirement. Just need a non Verizon SIM in the phone.

A co worker of mine pulled a new S4 out of box and put in his at&t SIM sure enough it worked. so non rooted works too.

I have both a TMO sim and and ATT sim, and I got EDGE with TMO. No H/H+ right now on TMO because very few areas are on 1900. Our version of the S4 does not have the ability to use H/H+ on the AWS frequencies, just LTE.
I finally got my T-Mobile htc one on MetroPCS on $60.00 a month account with Taxes and fees included on the same payment, I'm now saving $15.00 and I'm on T-Mobile network but on MetroPCS payment plans everything working Voice over Gsm, 4g over UMTS HSPS+, 4G LTE. With great data speeds.
But there's one flaw!!! WIFI CALLING IS NOT WORKING...

It won't work either for one of two reasons
First it works strictly thru tmobile SIM card , even tho you get tmo lte
Second the WiFi calling error means that you have to add update 911 address under your My T-Mobile account and then it works
I don't believe using a metro SIM In any tmo Device will get WiFi calling ever ,mainly cause it's alot to do with the tmo sim service the Main reachable service is still metro towers that's why .

I am wanting to set this up too. Metro PCS has good service in my area but they said they're having trouble with the GSM phones connecting to their 4G LTE network. T-Mobile's voice and text work great where I'm at and my brother is on Metro with one of their CDMA phones and his service works well. I literally just got my HTC One today and so far at my house I'm only getting 'G' which I assume is 1x or Edge service correct? When I reboot the phone and it initially connects to 4G and then drops it. I'm wondering if I take it to Metro and have them put it on their network if the 4G will work better? I wouldn't think it would impact it that much though. I have 30 days to try it out before I lose out on being able to return it and I'm all about saving money so switching to Metro is a big deal to me but I need my 4G too!

I'm no longer in Metropcs CDMA or Their Ericsson LTE network. I'm now on T-Mobile Gsm and LTE network under Nokia but with Metropcs Account. 2 different networks, so that means when you where on MetroPCS cdma and LTE you where on their original lte footprint with Ericsson lte sites, tmobile is planning to unite Metropcs lte with tmobile Nokia lte. But it will take some time.

Thats kool it is something you could have done setup from phone at home in 3 minutes tho...just sayin...
Glad it worked tho.
So to sum it up your saying you get actual tmobile WiFi calling with a actual metro 4g SIM card in a tMobile device ?
Not the same WiFi calling as my metro but I mean the tmobile exclusive WiFi calling .
That's very weird that that works using a metro SIM ..cause it's suppose to be a tmo sim cars thing also that has a lot to do with how it works .

I have recently had this phone come into my possession, and had put in my ATT Sim to see if it would work. After switching to global mode and adding an APN, it connected. The only thing is it refuses to connect to LTE. Is it possible to run ATT LTE on the Verizon version? It runs the MK2 software.

As far as ive heard its different LTE bands (radios/modems)
A few guys have gotten LTE to show on their att compatible straight talk sim cards which is the same as any att sim. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672843

If you're in an area where AT&T is pushing out AWS band 4, you'll get LTE. That's because the band is compatible with the AWS bands that VZ uses. If not, you'll get HSPA+ (or worse).

I just upgraded to the droid turbo and my gf is on sprint. I wanted to give her my phone, but I wasn't sure if it was possible. I was thinking I could just SIM unlock the phone and then get a micro SIM card from Sprint and simply activate it in a sprint store. Is this possible or not?

Nope. Sprint is CDMA only. No Sims.

Um.. I'm confused, sprint does use LTE correct? I've seen sprint SIM cards before. And Verizon also uses CDMA so it has the correct radios.

Yes. Sprint uses LTE, Verizon phones are SIM (GSM) unlocked, but are CDMA locked to Verizon. Even if CDMA was unlocked, it doesn't support the correct CDMA bands. And no. There is no way to hack it in.
If you can get your hands on a Sprint SIM and put it in the VZW S4 and you used NVRAM edits (extremely complicated) to enable the correct LTE bands, it would only get 4G LTE service, not 3G or Voice or SMS service.
