I have searched and searched to find the answer but the forum is large.
I wish to change from Cingular to Verizon as a celluar network. I would like to know if I can go to Veriozon with the SIM (Cingular SIM.. not sure if this makes any difference as I am new to screwing around with my PDA) unlocked or if I need to do something else before I go into a Verizon store and purchase a SIM from them.
Cingular has very little coverage where I am and I really like my BA. I do not want to change to a different phone at this point. What are my options?
It won't work man
Ok... quick breakdown.... Cingular is a GSM network, so is T-Mobile and Various Others. GSM uses sim cards. Verison on the other hand, as well as sprint is a CDMA network and do not use sim cards. There is no device interpolerity between CDMA networks and GSM. So u can't take ur device with u from cingular to verizon, but u could move to t-mobile.
Thank you. I figured something like that since I never saw a reference to Verizon on here.
Hello guys,
I have been reading all I can about the TP2 on different networks and I'm taking the plunge to buy an unlocked TP2. The only problem is that I'm torn between which one I should buy. I have searched all day and havent found the answer.
1) I like the features on the Verizon version but I have a deciding question - Can the Verizon version be used on the TMobile network? That is very important for deciding.
2) What problems am I likely to face using unlocking/HARD SPLing the Verizon version to work with the TMobile network?
I use TMObile at the moment with no intentions of switching carriers.
I would appreciate any positive help. Thanks
No-
VZ is CDMA and TMobile is GSM -
Not compatable
Prubin is right, but not telling the whole story.
A fully unlocked VZW TP2 will let you use a TMO SIM card and you will get GSM calling. Just no 3G on data, only EDGE speeds as the VZW TP2 does not have the proper UMTS bands.
I'm using with both Verizon and prepaid Tmobile (only 1 at a time). You will need to sim unlock as well.
As previous post stated, you lose 3G, only EDGE. Prepaid has no data but I was able to browse t-zones sites just fine. And you'll probably lose Tmobile specific apps.
So yeah, where I live should not be roaming on Bell's network.
I unlocked a Tilt 2, I am using a Bell sim. I have been able to send/receive texts, voice etc.
However, every time I try to make a data connection it says I am roaming.
I am relatively new to smartphones and unlocking. Could it be that I did not properly unlock the phone (or if I didnt would that prevent me from using Bell's network period?) or is there something stupid I am doing?
Or do I just have to call Bell and get them to straighten their crap out?
I have the same problem Here. Tilt 2 on Bell Network. As I can understand from my search, this is due to the Radio Rom that does not have Bell SIM info as local provider. We probably need to MOD our RADIO to accept bell as local carier
maybe people can help us ?
Thank you
Ok, I've just try with a friend ROGERS SIM card and the phone doesn't roam. Yeah! mabe I found some Q for master people that can help me.
I was on Rogers 3G network without probleme and I found that rogers use same band then Bell 850/1900
so why my phone lookup for rogers and not bell ?
Thinking of buying a tmobile m8 to use on metro pcs
Can anyone else with this setup confirm that the phone does work with metro include lte and everything? Thanks for any responses.
Also if you're someone who had their m8 on tmobile or even att and switched to metro, hows the network speeds compare?
I'm on neither T-Mob nor MetroPCS. But just wanted to pass along what I've read here. My understanding, MetroPCS uses T-Mob's network, so a T-Mob version should support MetroPCS bands out of the box.
Not sure if you need to unlock the SIM, and you may (probably) also need to manually enter the MetroPCS APN settings to get data and MMS to work.
I want to get this phone but might want to switch carriers soon. I was planning on doing the Sprint EasyPay for it and paying off the rest of the phone if or when I decide to switch carriers. After I pay it off in full and unlock it, would I be able to use it on T-mobile, AT&T, Verizon, or any of their MVNO's? Basically what I am asking is does the Sprint S6 support the necessary bands that the other networks operate on, and if so, would calling or texting still work? I have heard of some phones that have a SIM card slot for the LTE SIM on Sprint, but voice and text don't work once unlocked and used on another carrier.
Thanks,
Kyle
I would really like to know the answer to this as well. I have been searching without a definitive result.
Specifically, can unlocked Sprint phone be used on Verizon?
