You can use either one if you have your device SIM unlocked. All you have to do is pop in the new SIM, and you're good to go.

I've never used a GoPhone, or any prepaid service. I think you might need to activate the service on the prepaid phone, and then transfer the SIM to the Rhodium. I think you'll have to keep track of the minutes/units on the website for the service, if it's one of those pay-per-minute/unit services.
Anyway, as I mentioned, as long as your device is SIM unlocked, you should be able to use any SIM card from anywhere in the world in it without any problem.

You will need to be able to hardware mod the phone to accept a GSM sim on top of the hardwired chip.
You'll also need balls of steel.

I have no Idea what "Hardware mod" is? Can you please explain or send me a link where I can get an idea how to do that?
Thanks.

The sprint note has no accessable sim slot. To "possibly" accomplish this one would need to modify the hardware by adding a sim slot and hack the software.
there is a thread about sone folks attempting this...i have not been following it.

in layman's terms, you can't. if you remove the back cover from your device there is no sim card slot on the sprint variant to insert a sim. the only current wait to use our phones abroad is to use the sprint international plan.

Got it
Thank you all for your help. I sold the phone. I had no choice...

You could buy an AT&T Note to use with Straight Talk. I have one for sale on eBay right now (Note 1, not 2) that I bought for that same reason, but don't have coverage where I live to make it happen. http://www.ebay.com/itm/290826024805?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

ebay search
note ii sim or search for this one 271090307387
$6.47 swap that plug and play component into place and BAM sim card slot.
either cut a hole in your middle cover OR buy a int middle cover.
also someone is working on a mod solution to keep the 4g AND add a sim card slot
we off course still need to unlock to work on US carriers but maybe its not locked to begin with since they would not have thought of someone swapping parts like this.

very cool. do you know if you can do a similar trick with the ebay sim card holders for the Galaxy S3 (i.e. L710) ? I'm really hoping to buy a sprint GS3, put it on ting, and be able to occasionally take it internationally.
I was about to buy a motorola photon, but the lack of updates is scaring me.
UPDATE: found this thread if you're more into the GS3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002515

maybe it's just me, but amazing that so many people still believe that phones are compatible with other carriers............if you have Tmobile, AT&T then you're GSM network, Verizon & Sprint are CDMA..............it just bugs me when people ask to get their Sprint phone activated on another carrier (only exception is Cricket). I had someone a couple of days ago who bought a Tmobile version of the Galaxy S3, and wanted to know how to jailbreak it to use on another carrier.

normally you would be absolutely right. but in this specific case and possible with the S3 as well your incorrect.
the Note II and possibly the S3 have full GSM capabilities. Sprint just "corrupted" them on purpose (and should be illegally as well)
with the gizmo from ebay we get a normal sim card slot. now we just need a good hacker/coder to unlock the intentional "block" put in place by sprint to prevent it from seeing US GSM signals from companies other than sprint.
once someone manages to do that we will literally have a phone that could in theory be used on "ANY" US provider and probably any world provider.

based on a search of this and looking at pictures. why would you lose 4g? the lte chip is built on the processor board.

the statement below is 100% correct. the hardware in this phone is fully capable of GSM service. the removed software controls are the problem.

I don't know. Someone posted that the LTE SIM card (a chip on the board) is part of this board. so removing it would remove LTE (disable it)
but if your going SIM your going GSM so can't use sprint LTE anyway. so its not a "huge" deal.

Magic Sim?
I contacted Magic Sim and they said their Elite Micro Sim would work with Sprint. It did not show on the site so I emailed them and they said it would.

There's a guy out there that says he can put it on straight talk w/o sim. operates on verizon network. 231 something was the name of the outfit. google a bit and I'm sure you will find him. hope I helped

look on ebay at the people that do boost mobile flashes for the note 2. send them a message asking if they do the sprint note 2 to straight talk. most of them I talked to do this for like $50 if you have a new donor. If anyone needs more info pm me and I'll be glad to help

[Q] Do I need a SIM Card?

Im coming from the Note 2 which has a non removable SIM to my knowledge. I used a relatives upgrade so I think Sprint assumed I have a SIM. Question is: Will I need to get a SIM card to activate the phone?

All Sprint LTE phones come with a SIM card (paired with the MEID and/or IMEI of the phone). No, you don't need to get a SIM to activate the Note 4. It comes with one already and will be activated/provisioned on your account when you activate..

So I'm assuming that the phone will come provisioned to activate using the phone number of the relative whose upgrade i used? Is this something we can call sprint and have switched so it activates using my phone number? Thanks for the help.

It will come with the SIM in the phone. I came from the Note II as well. All I had to do was go online to the activate tab. Boot up the phone, let it do it's thing and was all set. Took less than five minutes.

Google Pixel XL Verizon, unlocked, flashed stock image...still can't get Tmobile

I have a google pixel XL verizon 32gb version. I have unlocked it using depixel. Flashed a stock image over the verizon one. I even rooted it. I STILL can't get my phone to recognized my TMOBILE sim card. Any help will greatly be appreciated. I feel like i need to return this phone and get a google version. Thanks guys. My understanding is if you unlock it I can use it on any carrier...or is there a difference with sim unlocking?
I've been searching the threads and trying all sorts of things.

You have confused bootloader unlocking with SIM unlocking. Apples and oranges. Your VZW XL is SIM unlocked, just like the Google Store version. Unlocking your bootloader has no affect on using your TMobile SIM. You probably need to have a discussion with your carrier...

Did you get the phone brand new, or used? If used, are you sure it isn't blacklisted?

Yeah, check the imei. Swappa.com has a check tool. I have the same setup as you but mi e worked right away.

Verizon phones ALREADY comes network / carrier sim UNLOCKED. By default they can be used on any compatible carrier without doing anything other than simply popping in that carrier's sim into the phone.
Do not confuse this is BOOTLOADER unlock which has more to do with being able to root ect, it has absolutely nothing to do with being able to use another network's sim.
Does the phone recognise the Verizon or any other carrier's sim? If not your sim tray/mechanism may be bad and you need a replacement phone.

His phone is probably been blacklisted, my brother can't wait for delivery with Google store... He went to Verizon and 32gig 5inch and pop in t-mobile simply and it works fine.

Can Verizon unlocked version be used with Sprint?

I am about to purchase off someone a 128gb Pixel XL Verizon unlocked and wanted to make sure I could use it with Sprint? Can anyone confirm this?

The Verizon version is not SIM locked. It will work on any carrier. I'm using mine on Fi network without problem.

Yes, the phone purchased from anywhere can be used on any of the major carriers.

It's the same size sim card. As long as it is a Sprint sim card it should work. You may need to call Sprint and have them do something on their end or on their website to move it over.
