I have a Samsung note 3 that was originally from Sprint and a Samsung galaxy 5 that was with At&T. I rooted both these phones thinking that I'd be able to use them on T-Mobile then, but when I put T-Mobile sim cards in them at the store they didn't work. Is there something else I have to do?

We were given a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE by one of our customers. But we can't use it, as it is apparently locked to their mobile company, so it can't use a sim card for danish carriers.
I am told that the only way to fix this, is to root the phone. But what is needed and how do I do this? I don't need any extra features at all, just the lock removed.
I hope someone can help.
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
Another noob baptismal ... Here goes ,,, I.may soon be the recipient of a Samsung Galaxy S3 U.S. cellular (SCH-R530) ... Of course its locked and I will also be repairing the screen it looks like.
Currently, I have an SCH-720C (Samsung Proclaim) bought from StraightTalk and running on Verizon towers, completely stock. Since both are CDMA units, will it be possible to unlock the S3 and find a way to use that phone on my straighttalk account?
If so, what will be required? Can I plug and play using the Straighttalk sim?
Thanks for the warm welcome.

And it says Sprint card is not from Verizon.I thought Verizon devices we're unlocked? What do I need to do to get my Sprint service to work in the Verizon s9 plus? Thanks
It also keeps saying that the Sim card has locked.but I'm getting 3G data now.
Hello,
My wife's Galaxy Note 8 somehow boots to different firmware based on SIM card inserted into it which surprised me since I thought that phones are usually coming with single firmware for either provider. I'm considering switching to T-Mobile from ATT and I have ATT branded Galaxy S9+ unlocked. My question will it have the same experience I noticed on my wife's phone or I have to deal with flashing firmware etc to make it work properly with WiFI calling etc features of native T-Mobile ROM?
Below message I received from Ebay seller which sold Galaxy Note 8. Is it true?
Thanks for contacting us. Samsung integrated new firmwares on S8 and newer model phones. Means whatever sim card you insert, it will program according to it. If you insert T-Mobile sim card, phone will restart and will show T-Mobile logo and apps. Same for AT&T and other GSM carriers. If you are AT&T user. Please insert the AT&T sim card and phone will ask you to restart the device with AT&T logo and apps. Tap yes.

If unlocked ATT branded GS9+ phone will work on any other carrier, what is the point of the threads below about flashing T-Mobile CSC (or whatever it's called) to ATT phone and vice a versa, etc if phone already supports switching between carriers on it's own?
