That's how I use mine. Works great other than you won't be able to go to the PlayStation pocket store without a sim card.

but he could just get a free sim but never use it only insert it.

What do you mean a free sim? One with no service tied to it? Does that work?

I also have a droid 2 global for verizon, and has a verizon sim card. If I put it in an R800i would it work? I don't have an R800i so I cant test this. Just a random thought, idk if this was asked before.

Yes, if you can find a unlocked Galaxy S3 and if you can cut your SIM to the right dimensions.

I can unlock mine, I need to know if anyone knows if the procedure online is safe enough that people have already done it.

You can unlock it and use.att sim. Get a micro sim.cutter.

if you bought it outright, call tmobile and they will send you the unlock instructions. no questions asked. done. then you will have to get a microsim cutter and you're golden.
What can I do with my unlocked phone? If I put a second sim card in my phone could I use it on my phone without paying for use of it? Could he get free 4g from T-Mobile? What could I do?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Can I put another T-Mobile sim card and use it without paying?

No, unlocking just allows you to use your phone with any GSM phone company... you still have to pay that company for service.
For example, it allows you to use this T-Mobile phone on AT&T... but you still have to pay AT&T for service.
I fixed a bricked AT&T note 2 that I got off craigslist but I have verizon. :banghead: I have a s3 now but really wanna use the note 2. Does the phone contain cdma hardware that can be unlocked through software modification? My verizon SIM fits into the slot so is there any way i can get the phone to connect? For example verizon iphone 5s can also be used on AT&T. What if i flashed the verizon firmware onto it? Any help at all? Or anyone wanting to trade? Haha.

Ugh. Has It ever been attempted or worth trying flashing the verizon radio/modem and firmware? Or is it seriously impossible?

What if you hard brick it to the point it can't b fixed. I would try and sell it since you fixed it. But first unlock it that way it'll b worth more! Then get you a Verizon model, I'm sure they're floating around out there somewhere!
You can try this method to unlock:

I'm sure this has been covered, but I'm not finding it. Is the One SIM unlocked out of the box? I'm traveling to Spain tomorrow and VZW is telling me it will work, just slap in a local SIM card. I really don't want to wait until I'm over there to find out. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance!

The local sim you use will have to be on a like network to vzw, don't think it will work on gsm network.

That's what I thought too, but I made it clear to the rep that it would be a gsm service. I guess if all else fails I can buy an unlock code and have it emailed to me.

I wanna say it has to be unlocked now... May need to change VPN settings but I think all of the new set phones can be used on gsm carriers. Not sprint though.

Forgive me, do you mean it should already be unlocked? I don't really care about data, but I'm going to need it to make local calls. I just don't want to get there and then not be able to do anything with it.

AFAIK the ftc forced Verizon to have unlocked phones if they want to use lte.

This is correct, its part of the contract that Verizon made: All LTE phones using the 700MHz band have to be SIM unlocked.
SIM is definitely carrier unlocked. In London now using a 3 SIM with no issues.
It is SIM unlocked. I'm currently using it on T-Mobile in the US.
