Hi, all!
I'm curious about whether I can use the prepaid Spring XT1526 on Ting. Has anyone had experience with this? Would I need a Ting SIM card, or would I need to unlock the phone?
Thanks in advance for your help!
If it's a Sprint device, it probably won't pass the financial eligibility check unless it's been active a year. That'll keep you from activating it on Ting CDMA. Now, if you unlock it and get a regular GSM SIM to work in it, you can use Ting GSM.

My prepaid Moto E cannot be activated on Ting. Some of them can be activated on RingPlus, but you should type the IMEI in the FEC checker before you buy b/c not all can. Not sure why some work and some don't.
That I'm not sure about. I've taken a Verizon E LTE and used the Network app to make it work with T-Mobile, but have not purchased a Sprint model.

OK so after one 2 many beers I purchased a sm-n900p off EBay on sprint. I am based in UK and we use GSM. Only just realised the handset is CDMA. Am I now stuck with a useless phone or is there anyway I can flash it or do anything for my O2 sim card to work on it?

There is currently no way to unlock the phone for international SIM without being a Sprint customer and having the phone activated on an account.

can you explain more regarding having sprint customer?
from a lot of forum threads i'm getting Bias information:
so, It is possible to use GSM international but nobody can do that unless Sprint authorize person do something to the phone or account?
so Unlocked version doesn't exit? or what Unlocked mean on SM-N900P?

the phone can only be unlocked for International SIM cards by Sprint, and for this to be able to be done, the phone has to be activated on a Sprint account. this is the ONLY unlock method currently available for this particular Note 3 model (Sprint variant, SM-N900P)
I've been trying to find the answer but haven't had any luck.
Simple question- is the Verizon G3 sim card locked? If so, is it just to US carriers or everyone?
I know the G2 was unlocked for international and US carriers. I'm trying to find out if the G3 is also just as open.
Thanks.

A quick search would show that all newer verizon phones are sim unlocked. Just only at 3g speeds. 4G will not work on other carriers. :good:
Thanks.
I was just hoping to get confirmation from someone who owned it already.
Thanks again.
Locked in the US. If you are traveling international then no problem.

That is not correct. I just put my T-Mobile SIM into my Verizon LG G3.
All I had to do to get it to work was manually input T-Mobile's APN, then search operators and select T-Mobile.
Got four times the download speed on TMo than I'm getting on VZW...unfortunately TMo can't penetrate my office building, so my G3 is sticking with Verizon.

I spoke with AT&T online and on phone customer service YES you can unlock
I can confirm that it is locked. You will have to ask for unlock code. According to Samsung, it is also 850/1900 only, not AWS. So if your 3G towers in your area is using AWS bands, you will have to settle for 2G.
It's unlocked on ATT if you buy it full price without activation. I comfirmed it at the store, then went online to check the IMEI number with the ATT device manager. My gear S is not in their system with the Unlock tool from their website. I went on to talk with technical support on 3 different occasions to confirm that I am totally free to do as I please with my device.
Of course if you activated your Gear S at anytime with ATT I was told that you would be locked into their system and would have to go to procedures to have it unlocked.

Does everything work with straigh talk? data?
Yes.
Straight talk use the same AT&T network. Hence its SIM will work on any AT&T phones, locked or not. It doesn't mean the device is unlocked.

The amount of data is abysmal. T-Mobile would be better but they don't have anything but 2G here.
No you can't. It's locked to ATT

Not a chance. The watch only has dual bands. So, North American version can only work in NA. Rest of the world version can only work in rest of the world. They don' overlap. Besides, there isn't any unlocked version on sale unless you buy from eBay.

The GSM versions are quad band.
Network
900/2100 or 850/1900 (3G)
900/1800 or 850/1900 (2G)

Not really. The NA version is 850/1900 only for both 2g and 3g. The rest of world gets 900/1800, no 850/1900. That's not called quad band. A quad band phone supports 850/900/1800/1900 in both 2g and 3g.

Hey guys new to this site,
My mother recently switched to t-mobile and is in dire need of help. I did the general apn settings for t-mobile's let network but lte works in few places and she is unable to send texts. I heard there is a way to add lte bands to your phone but a root is necessary.
I am currently on lollipop 5.0.1, is there a way to unlock the bootloader to root the phone?
Thanks in advance,
James

for T-Mobile, this phone only supports their 3g bands and will not use their 4g bands. there is no way to add bands, and if someone tells you there is, theyre lying and don't know what they're talking about.
to answer your other question, you can not unlock the bootloader on this phone, however, you can root if you are on the OC1 build using the kingroot desktop program. warning: it's all in Chinese

Straight talk offers Verizon 4g for 45 a month 5gb of data is hard to beat I'm truck driver And their are very few spots I don't have 4g
Are those places (sites) that you pay to unlock your phone legit? Is it possible to unlock the Verizon version of the G6 so I can use it on T-Mobile or does the Verizon G6 not have the proper bands support?

Verizon doesn't lock their LTE phones. You should be able to drop a SIM card in it and have it work.
I don't know about all the LTE bands though.
I'm on Verizon. Seems everyone I had would work on most carriers out of the box. I had S7 Edge (Verizon) worked on a few different prepaid Sims. I also added a new phone for me and put a dif sim in my old LG Stylus and sent to my son in Boise. And put old sim in my LG G6 and it worked (cause I needed old number in new phone and new SIM went in older phone.
Hopefully that made since haha.
Just remember that the phone/SIM must be in good standing or you will have problems sometimes when activating on major companies. Unless its prepaid SIM you can pop a new one in that's already activated.

I'll have a chance to buy new Verizon LG G6 for cheap, but I'm on AT&T network. Just want to confirm before pull the trigger, do I need a Verizon SIM to activate the phone first then swap with AT&T SIM, or just put in the AT&T SIM would be fine? Thanks in advance!
Put the att sim in, during setup connect to WiFi. After setup input apn settings. Restart the phone. The phone may occasionally inform you that the inserted sim is not a VZW sim. I think that will go away after you disable all the VZW apps.
I have tried different sims but does not recognize the sim. Only recognizes verizon sim. I'm not a verizon customer and where I am at we don't have verzion.
any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Update: Working now. Sim card readers were bent.
