Hi, I purchased an unlocked Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (getting it Monday) and wanted to use it on PagePlus. My question is will the phone work on the Verizon 3G network ? Or does the phone need to be flashed before I can get 3G service. Thanks
Is there any mods that can be used for the Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S III (sch-s960L) ???? My phone constantly looses signal because it is ran off sprint towers which aren't in my area, we only have att and tmobile, verizon tower... they all run on the same but sprint doesn't seem to want to work. can anyone help me?
I have a sprint GS3 and I need to be on the Verizon platform...when I got the phone I was under the assumption that it took a sim card.....and it doesn't. Is there any way to make the phone switch to Verizon. The GS3 is a model SPH-L710.
thnaks guys
Not including myself, the rest of my family is on Verizon. My daughter recently upgraded her S3 so I have it now as a handmedown. I have AT&T
and have been using it with their sim. (Verizon doesn't lock their smartphones) I get normal voice coverage but can't get anything more than
edge on data. I have 2 APN's programmed that I found here. One is HSPA+ and the other is for LTE. If the sim is in an AT&T phone, I get LTE
coverage but in the S3, nothing more than as mentioned. Is this because AT&T doesn't have the IMEI registered on their end or is it something else?
I'd really like to get more out of this phone. Any ideas?
Thanks ahead of time,
Todd
So I'm switching from verizon to T-Mobile after this month and I was wondering what would be the best way to flash the T-Mobile firmware and get rid of the verizon firmware?
Firmware is not the problem. TMO & ATT have GSM radios, Verizon & Sprint are CDMA. Your Verizon S5 *will not* connect to the t-mobile network no matter what firmware you are running. T-mobile probably still has a very generous trade-in program.
Actually the Verizon S5 should work as it contains an LTE radio, meaning GSM functionality is present. Furthermore, the Verizon model comes unlocked as per FCC regulations. You will need to set the proper APNs to get connectivity on the Verizon S5, however.
Short answer: The S5 works on TMO.
I just made the same switch two months ago. I had two S5s and an S4. My dad is still using his VZW S4 on TMO and I used both of my S5s. However, the coverage seemed to be less than optimal and I wanted the WiFi calling options so I bought two used TMO S5s and my dad is getting a Kyocera Hydro. Even with the cellspot extender my dad's S4 won't make a call at his house.
I guess I got it wrong. DOH! Thanks for setting me straight. So what about going the other way, would a TMO S5 work on the Verizon network?
