Is it possible for me to unlock or do an ESN change or something on my Verizon XV6600 so I can use it on Sprint? I have a good discount from Sprint and would like to keep my same phone.

I'm really wanting to get this sprint touch on the verizon network. I've loaded a verizon rom on the phone and a verizon PRL what i'm wanting to know is what to do next. Verizon won't add the esn to their database or do anything for me. I'm wondering if I change to esn number of the touch to the phone I have now on my verizon account will it work?
Note: I walked into the verizon store asking about this and they told me it would never work because sprint uses SIM cards and Verizon doesn't. I about laughed so hard in her face. Then she told me she wasn't gonna debate it.

Yes it will. But you AFAIK the verizon radio firmware won't let you supercid to change the ESN.
Besides, there are ways to get verizon to add the ESN (head over to ppcgeeks, and do some searching). Also... I have not yet gotten the roaming indicator to work on my sprint HTC touch. It always says "preferred network", and displays the roam warnings on incoming calls.

Yeah I got verizon to add the esn with no trouble.

Hi guys, need some help.
If I switch carrier then phone automatically get bad Sprint ESN, right? If so, thats ok, because I dont want to use Sprint.
I've got Sprint L710 but I never used CDMA before, so little bit confused with how to get rid of that Sprint and make it work with Boost even w/o 4g.. perhaps 2g or 3g if possible. Or Virgin, doesn't really matter, the most important is prepaid plan w/o contract.
I'll make a root and even if then I install custom ROM then still will be using Sprint? Or after flashing custom ROM I can go to Boost and ask them to flash their codes?
Nobody else will help me, I hope for your understanding.
As far as I know. You won't get bad esn as long as you don't have any pending balances pending.
And if you pay the early termination fee.
But I'm not sure. As far as the s3 on another net work then it would have to be flashed with whatever company your gonna use it with.
But your probably better off just selling it on craugslist or eBay and buying an unlocked international version.

When I switched from ATT contract to TMobile prepaid I just unlocked phone, pulled out ATT sim card and go forward with TMobile. I didnt make any notifications to ATT, TMobile just transferred my number in few secs.
I mean how could I make same on CDMA? Could by example Cricket take my phone to their network? Is it possible to delete all related to Sprint from my phone, make it clean as from factory? And then come to Cricket or another CDMA carrier? In that case if I terminate Sprint contract without any notification I think ESN would be bad.

Well if your gonna flash the phone to another carrier like cricket. Then bad esn or clean esn don't matter. Just go into a cricket store and tell them you need to flash your phone and they'll put other on their network.

And am I be able to get at least their Cricket's 3G?
Or for that I need to go through special procedure with donors?

What? lol
they should have a cricket store where they flash phones. Idk how the procedure is done, or how it affects the phones. But there might be something screwy with MMS, but you can always ask before you do it. and there might be a fix for that sort of stuff here at XDA
Cricket said that they flash only their phones and I cant keep my existing.
BTW finally we've switched it to Verizon prepaid

weird, down here where I'm at, they flash any phone really.
well if your S3 is just a brick there you can always sell it.
If the price is low enough i can buy it from you, or also ebay
They said that in New York area they flash only Cricket phones.
But even good, cause because of I that I got Verizon.
Hey guys,
I recently won a Samsung GS3 (AT&T) in a giveaway. I currently have a LG Optimus V on Virgin Mobile, and would prefer to use the GS3 on a T-Mobile prepaid plan. Can I unlock the phone without first activating it on AT&T (i.e. get to the dial pad)? Or do I need to get an AT&T plan? If so, can I get a prepaid plan since the phone's ARV was $200 (i.e. price of the phone on a subsidized plan)? What's the best way to unlock the phone (i.e. use a cell unlock website or can I get an AT&T prepaid plan for like a month and ask for an unlock code)? What's the best data rate that the AT&T GS3 can get on T-Mobile since I know some bands are different between the carriers (i.e. EDGE, 3G, HSPA+, or T-Mobile's future 4G LTE-Advanced)? Do I need to flash the modem to get full data speeds if they are not directly compatible?
Thanks in advance!
The best way to unlock it is buying a code... I bought mine for like 5 bucks on ebay...
All I did was get the code, put a simple card in (not at&t) and it asked for the unlock code and you put it in.... And it's unlocked

So I can just swap out the SIM right from the get go (I already have a T-Mobile SIM), and when I power it up for the first time, it'll go straight to the unlock prompt without asking to be activated (i.e. like how the iPhone asks to be plugged into iTunes to be activated when you first power it up)?
I currently own a GT-N7000 Note and am going to upgrade by purchasing a Note II, but I am having some trouble figuring out which exact version to get.
I tried purchasing Galaxy S III once and AT&T refused to unlock the device despite me having paid the full $699 for it. (I ended up having to return it because of this)
I have 4 requirements for the phone but can't figure out what model meets all of them. Any help or suggestions from the community would be greatly appreciated.
1. I will be using the phone on AT&T MVNO's (am currently on RedPocket).
2. I would like to have working LTE (US is 700Mhz Class 17 I believe.
3. I would like to either have the phone come without carrier modifications to the OS and without bloatware, or if that is completely non-existant at the very least have a version of the Note II that will allow me to easily load a stock ROM on it with all features (especially tethering built in), and without any loss of functionality (i.e. I don't want to deal with firmware incompatibility problems like no working LTE radio or instability or the like)
4. I will be using the phone overseas every now and then so it definitely needs to be unlocked.
Thanks guys.

Has anyone ordered from here?
cellgsmphones.com
Supposedly they are shipping the phones straight from Korea and it has 700 band LTE.
If so, did the phone really come with 700Mhz LTE?
The site says the specs/info came from a wiki, so I am guessing it might be all wrong.
Well if you want to use a MVNO of AT&T you wont be getting LTE, They don`t allow it, its ONLY for AT&T Contract and or Prepaid but it does not work on AT&T`s MVNO`s none of them currently.
I say just buy the ATT Note2 and try to get ATT to unlock and if not pay the $25-30 to get the unlock code from; http://www.cellunlocker.net/.
Hyelton is correct, no ATT MVNO has LTE and I read an article that ATT will be bringing LTE to GoPhone but it's at least a year out.
I have a N7100 on an ATT MVNO and I am getting 5-8Mbps down so it's not bad.
Not quite sure why someone would want to pay extra for a Korean version of a phone to use on ATT when you can just buy the ATT version and pay to unlock it cheaper. Unless your trying to get it on a dumb phone plan and are hoping that the Korean Imei never gets blocked.

Its actualy cheaper to buy the N7100 than the AT&T one. AT&T is $699 plus tax. I only Paid about $600 for mine with free shipping and no tax
